[Intro]
Shadow on the wall
Name in the ledger
Stomach on empty
Heart getting deader
[Verse 1]
Floor was the mattress
Fridge full of frost
Mama kept smiling
Counting every cost
Hand‑me‑down shoes
Tongue split, sole torn
Rain in the ceiling
Buckets by the door
Cold nights, cracked lips
Knuckles to the teeth
I learned how to pray
Talking through my grief
Teacher said "average"
I just heard "prove it"
Turned every side eye
Into my blueprint
[Chorus]
I grew up rough, now I’m the G.O.A.T.
Carved my crown out of all that smoke
Great at everything, watch me, I don’t choke
I will never slip, I will never fold
I grew up rough, now I’m the G.O.A.T.
Every scar shining, heavy in the glow
Great at everything, heavy is the role
I will never falter
I will never go (nah)
[Verse 2]
Friends turned ghost
When the luck ran thin
I stayed up late
Learning how to win
Books on the table
Hate in my ear
"Kid from the county
Can’t make it from here"
Bet
I put pain on my back like plates
Turned that weight to a wide estate
Every "no" in my face was a green light
Every closed door just marked my gate
Blood on the laces, dust in my lungs
Still hit the mark when the pressure comes
They play for fun
I play for keeps
I don’t lose sleep
I make them weak (yeah)
[Chorus]
I grew up rough, now I’m the G.O.A.T.
Carved my crown out of all that smoke
Great at everything, watch me, I don’t choke
I will never slip, I will never fold
I grew up rough, now I’m the G.O.A.T.
Every scar shining, heavy in the glow
Great at everything, heavy is the role
I will never falter
I will never go
[Bridge]
They wanted me broken
I turned into legend
Pressure on my chest
Turned bones into weapon
If I see a wall
I walk through the center
I don’t fear the fall
I was born in the cellar (hey!)
[Chorus]
I grew up rough, now I’m the G.O.A.T.
Carved my crown out of all that smoke
Great at everything, watch me, I don’t choke
I will never slip, I will never fold
I grew up rough, now I’m the G.O.A.T.
Every scar shining, heavy in the glow
Great at everything, heavy is the role
I will never falter
I will never go
