Lyrics
[Verse: Al]
Came up from the bottom, dollar dreams, now I'm the king
Flew out the gutter, now in my jet, I spread my wings
Pain was the teacher, streets wrote the text, I learned to fly
Empty pockets taught me riches, now my wealth can touch the sky
Starry-eyed as I'm glidin' in my Global, see the proof
Countin' blessings, countin' millions, every dream now comin' truth
Sweat and tears, but no fears, push through the hardest nights
Now every morning golden, every vision's bathed in light
From rags to the riches, from the blocks to this high
I beat the odds, got my name engraved up in the sky
[Verse: Al]
Now I sip champagne when I'm thirsty, damn right
Straight from the struggle to the top, it's my birthright
Skyline views, see my past in the rearview
Living large but I remember when a meal was an issue
I turn the key to a kingdom, every lock I broke through
From empty plates to feastin' endless, yeah, that's how I do
I keep my head up high, my crown well-fitted
From nothin' to somethin', you know I never quitted
Diamonds reflect my path, from the dirt to the throne
I built an empire of dreams, now it's flesh and bone
I remember nights (I remember nights)
Staring at the ceiling praying for a sign
Fortune wasn't kind, but my thoughts were more refined
Pushed against the tide, got my hustle on the line
Now the dark days fade, like I'm sippin' on sunshine
Cashmere thoughts, silky dreams, my new life
From a past so harsh to these peaks I climb
The vision pulled me far, through the tears and grime
[Verse: Al]
My pain, the fuel, igniting my ambition's flame
Road of thorns now paved in gold, I changed the game
Mansions in my mind now manifest in style
Crooked path I walked, now it's marble for miles
I remember days with just hope by my side
A flicker in the dark, my unwavering guide
Visions that once danced in the depths of the night
Became my waking life, set the world alight
From lone candle flames to the city's broad glow
On top of the world, watch my kingdom grow
Life was a puzzle, every setback a clue
Now every piece fits, look at that view
Rolling on a golden path, my story's just begun
Lines in my journal track the miles I've overrun
Glory in my heartbeat, no more shadowed strife
Crystal-clear objectives shaping my prime of life
Baskin' in success's light, where I'm meant to be
Skyline silhouette, life's finest tapestry
Lessons from the struggle sketched deep in my mind
Blueprint of the future, it's my time to shine
[Verse: Al]
Makin' moves, playin' chess with skyscrapers, board of power
Checkmate to my past, clock in success every hour
Saw the lows, now I'm soaring, heights I never knew
Marble halls, crystal chandeliers, life's a stunning view
From prayers in the attic to the top of the line
Bet it all on my hustle, now the world's mine
[Pre-Chorus: Al]
Hard knocks lesson, now I'm schooling life
Used to count pennies, now I'm counting every night
Lived among the shadows, now I'm dancing in the light
Resilience my cologne, it’s the scent of this flight
[Chorus: Al]
From the ground to the crown, see my legacy unfurl
Global 7500, ruler of my world
