Yeah
Ayy, ayy
Look—
Came out the mud with the dirt on my kicks,
Life threw hands, had to learn how to slip,
Lost a few people I thought wouldn't switch,
Now when I move, I don't move with a clique.
I was dead broke with a head full of goals,
Heart went cold but I never sold soul,
World tried digging me deeper that hole,
I made me a ladder and climbed out alone.
Bounce back, I don't know how to quit,
Fall down once, come back on ten,
They threw dirt, I turned that to bricks,
Built my whole house off the hate they sent.
Ayy,
Tell 'em I'm back and I'm better,
Storm came through, I adapted to weather,
Used to write dreams in a torn-up sweater,
Now every bar put the pieces together.
I don't need love from a fake-ass friend,
Don't need hands if they won't extend
When I'm at the bottom and close to the end,
Don't say "brother" when I'm up again.
Had dark days I ain't speak about,
Had big dreams they would laugh about,
Now that same fire they tried putting out
Got the whole damn room getting heated now.
Bounce back, bounce back, that's my code,
Heavy heart but I carry that load,
Long nights walking that lonely road,
Still kept moving when my tank said low.
I ain't perfect, I made mistakes,
Trusted people with a hundred fake faces,
Gave my heart, watched somebody break it,
Now every scar got a story engraved in.
But I—
Turn pain into power,
Pressure into diamonds,
Every single hour
I was fighting in silence.
Nobody knew what was going on,
I just kept saying that I'm staying strong,
Had nights when the hope felt gone,
Then the sun came up and I carried on.
Ayy—
I'm back in my mode,
Foot on the gas, ain't tapping the brakes,
I know some people been hoping I fold,
I know some people been counting my days.
Tell 'em keep counting, I'm raising the stakes,
I took every loss and I put it in place,
Can't erase everything that I faced,
But I can make sure it don't go to waste.
Used to ask God, "Why me?"
Now I understand what the fight means,
Had to lose sight just to see
Who was really riding beside me.
Now I'm moving different,
Mind on business,
Cut off anybody bringing bad intentions,
I don't need attention,
I need progression,
Every setback turned into a lesson.
If I lose today, tomorrow I'm coming,
If the door locked, through the wall I'm running,
Started with zero, I'm building from nothing,
They hear that engine? Yeah, that's me coming.
Bounce back, bounce back, ain't no stopping,
Hit rock bottom, came out like a rocket,
Pain in my chest but the dream in my pocket,
If they throw dirt, plant seeds and profit.
I ain't scared of another bad day,
Been through hell, still found my pathway,
People gonna talk, let 'em all have something to say,
I'm too busy putting my future in place.
Ayy—
From the bottom to the top, I'm climbing,
Every scar on my body got timing,
They see me shining, don't know where the grind been,
I was fighting my battles when nobody chimed in.
So when I win, don't call it luck,
I got knocked down and kept getting up,
Life got rough, I got twice as tough,
Tried breaking me once—
**I bounced right up.**
