BottomWhere it all beginCounted change like it was prayerRamen light, the future somewhere up the stairMama tired, I memorized that stareMade a promise to the ceiling, I will get us thereCold apartment, big imaginationHunger turned into my educationThe bottomWhere the hunger learns your nameDon't you ever be ashamedThe bottom built the frameWrote my goals on a paper towelFolded up the doubt, took it out the nowEvery empty pocket was a lesson savedEvery quiet no carved the road I pavedI don't hate the start, it made the manThe bottom was the blueprint, not the brandThe bottomWhere the hunger learns your nameDon't you ever be ashamedThe bottom built the frameIf you down there reading this tonightThe floor is not the finish, it's the fightRemember it, but don't you live back thereThe bottom is a launchpad, not a chairThe bottom built the frame
