[Verse 1]
Climb that ladder, grip tight, no slip
Dreams in the bag, gotta make that trip
Hustle’s the motto, grind’s the plan
Every rung’s a step, from boy to man
Pockets were empty, now they overflow
Used to be the shadow, now I’m the glow
No shortcuts, no cheat codes here
Built from the sweat, the blood, the fear
[Prechorus]
From the basement, now we in the sky
Every tear fell, but I learned to fly
[Chorus]
Climb that ladder, step by step
No regrets, we never slept
Climb that ladder, to the top
Won’t stop, can’t stop, till the beat drops
[Verse 2]
Dirt on my kicks, but my head held high
Voices in my ear said I’d never try
Turned their doubt into fuel, now I’m a flame
Lit the match, and I’m burning the game
This life ain’t fair, but I play it raw
Broke the mold, shattered every law
Blueprint rewritten, it’s my design
Every rung I climb, the world is mine
