Made It From Nothing Lyrics - Meek Mill

I know you thought I wouldn't shine like this 

They know I took my time with the shit 

Diamonds on my neck, I blind them with the wrist 

Hey, it feels good when you make it from nothing 

I grind like this 

So I can shine like this 

Them diamonds on my wrist 

It feels good when you make it from nothing 

Uh, North Philly in my bloodstream, nigga 

South Philly from my dad genes, nigga 

I can wear my dad jeans 

Bought my mom and sister a new crib when that cash came 

Nigga, put some respect up on my last name 

No better feelin' than seeing my cousin serve his last fiend 

No better feelin' seein' lil Papi talkin French to me 

All this money, these pussies will never get to me 

Why you think you never hear 'bout what they did to me? 

Hunnid bands, quarter milli, talking big money 

I'm what you did and nobody stopping shit, homie 

Cause honestly we give a fuck about your big homie 

Fuck it, posted in the jungle with a ladder 

How can they compare me to a rapper? 

Did it for attention 'cause he had to 

Niggas broke, their opinions never mattered 

Fuck 'em!

Damn, it feels good from way up here 

Damn, it feels good, baby 

Yeah, from way up here 

I know you thought I wouldn't shine like this 

They know I took my time with the shit 

Diamonds on my neck, I'm blogging with the wrist 

Hey, it feels good when you make it from nothin' 

I grind like this 

So I can shine like this 

Them diamonds on my wrist 

It feels good when you make it from nothin' 

Photos 

Dreamchasers, accomplishments are remarkable 

Big fish, little fish 

I always need a prayer before we do the toast 

My circle competitive, let's see who move the most 

I gave my niggas game before they do the roast 

Now let's talk about numbers, I really do 'em both 

I still got two real uncles who still be doing dope 

One of them used to run with a fluky stokes 

So many new faces sometimes I do get ghosts 

Still one call away from ones who really knew me most 

Staying in my lane out of the uzi smoke 

You only beating cases based on who you know 

Public defender gave him a funeral 

Juvenile sent to Rikers, he never knew the rules 

Sess and religions, he don't know who to choose 

Let's bow our head over these Ramen noodles 

God is the greatest and I pray for peace 

Still rolling up that leaf, Mr. Drew Ali, I salute you 

Damn, it feels good from way up here 

Damn, it feels good, baby 

Yeah, from way up here 

I just want the money, baby, yeah yeah yeah, hey 

What they want from me, baby? Yeah yeah yeah, whoa 

And we still want it, baby 

Money is coming, we still run dough 

Niggas run up but we never lay low 

Niggas kept it real so we never lay low, never lay low 

Run through the money, going way up 

Money on the wheels go way up 

The doors on the coupe go way up 

It's so easy to hate us 

Niggas in the club spilling Aces of Spades 

Popping on the bub' and they love a check 

Niggas going somewhere, I'ma make it 

If you ain't got my money, I'ma take that 

They probably thought a nigga wouldn't shine like this 

Got deals so I signed like this 

Diamonds on my neck, I blind them with the wrist 

Hey, yeah 

I'ma change my mind on you 

You know how we do 

I'm eating lobster on a plate now
