Built From Scratch

Built from scratch yeah I earned my name

No hand me down crown no easy lane

I took the long road took the hard hits too

Now Im standin on my own two boots

Built from scratch still learnin fast

Aint proud of the trouble just proud I passed

Yeah Im built from scratch

New town sunrise keys in my palm

Tryin to live quiet tryin to stay calm

Some folks talk like they know my past

But they dont know the nights I didnt last

Ive been bent Ive been broke Ive been low

Still got a heart that wont let go

I aint here to be a legend be a threat

Just here to be a man you dont forget

If the room gets loud I dont swing I dont snap

I breathe through the noise and I dont look back

Built from scratch yeah I earned my name

No hand me down crown no easy lane

I took the long road took the hard hits too

Now Im standin on my own two boots

Built from scratch still learnin fast

Aint proud of the trouble just proud I passed

Yeah Im built from scratch

I learned real quick what a promise costs

What you keep when the shine gets lost

I dont talk big I dont sell dreams

I just show up steady and I mean what I mean

When my mind runs thin when the air feels tight

I find that clear place and I hold it tight

One step forward let the old fade out

Thats what startin overs all about

If the signal gets weak in the middle of me

I put both feet down and I count to three

A man aint a rumor a man aint a past

Hes the work he does and the weight he drags

Built from scratch yeah I earned my name

No hand me down crown no easy lane

I took the long road took the hard hits too

Now Im standin on my own two boots

Built from scratch still learnin fast

Aint proud of the trouble just proud I passed

Yeah Im built from scratch
