Lyrics
[verse]
Started at the bottom counting every single dime
Now the calendar is nothing but a working climb
Every door that shut on me just made me push again
Now I'm walking taller than I ever was back then
[chorus]
I'm successful, yeah I made it on my own
Built the whole thing up from nothing but a phone
Every night I told myself I'd never quit the race
Now I'm standing proud with a smile up on my face
[verse]
Girl beside me seen it all from way before the fame
Never chasing status, never playing at the game
We just kept it moving, kept it steady, kept it true
Now we living good and sharing every avenue
[chorus]
I'm successful, yeah I made it on my own
Built the whole thing up from nothing but a phone
Every night I told myself I'd never quit the race
Now I'm standing proud with a smile up on my face
[bridge]
Look back at the struggle, feel it turn into a song
Every sacrifice is why I'm standing here so strong
Nothing given, everything I earned along the way
This the story of a dream that finally saw the day
[chorus]
I'm successful, yeah I made it on my own
Built the whole thing up from nothing but a phone
Every night I told myself I'd never quit the race
Now I'm standing proud with a smile up on my face
