Came From Nothin by J Knockz Lyrics
Verse 1:
Yeah, Let's talk
Dad left when I was six years old, life started out rough (for real)
I ain't even tryna front, I'ma be blunt, growing up was tough
You don't even know the half bruh (nah)
For the longest I thought to myself is this really God's will?
Mom struggled paying the bills, it was hard to deal with it
I was just a kid when this all went down, I'm just being real
Suddenly, me and my sisters were took from our mom
Put in a home, how we suppose to be calm?
Honestly I believe we were treated like some pawns
Moved us along from home to home
With no regard if it really brought us harm
Disregarded our emotions, I swear that it really left a scar
And left us in the dark, they tore us apart
That's when my mama's life changed
She prayed to God and dedicated herself to His way
Vowed to get us back and never stopped
She worked her butt off everyday
She never gave in to the pressure, that taught me a lesson
Keep fighting no matter what tests ya
4 years later I was back in her arms
It was truly a blessing from Heaven (yeah)
Hook:
I came from nothin'
This is my life bruh, I ain't even frontin' (I ain't even frontin')
I came from nothin'
I know for a fact I was made for somethin' (made for somethin')
I came from nothin'
It was all a process I had to trust in (I had to trust)
I came from nothin'
But I know the Lord's making nothing into somethin'
Verse 2:
(Yeah) Can I tell you the rest? (huh?)
Moved back in with my mom in the projects (yeah)
Single mother raising three kids by herself
Really didn't have much, but I knew she did her best
(Yeah) A lot of people didn't understand it
What we just went through
Everyday at school, they was making fun of me
For the way that I was, and the clothes that I wore
And the brand of my shoes
I was so confused, why was everybody mean?
Why did everybody seem to hate me?
All I wanna do is scream
All I wanna do is leave this place
Lord please come take me! (yeah)
I don't wanna be here
I don't even have a clue where my dad is
Why won't he save me? (why?)
If it wasn't for my mom teaching me about God
I don't know where I'd be, prolly crazy! (for real)
I'm really sick of people
Thinking they know what I've been through
You have no clue what I've went through
Been an outcast all my life
So much rejection that I have lived through
I had to find a way to cope with pain
It was destroying, infecting all of my veins
I didn't know what to do
Then I cried to the Lord and He showed me the way (yeah)
