Counting Coins

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Yeah, I came from the nights when the streetlights flickered, Dreams in my pocket but the world's hands quicker, Everybody talking like they know my story, But they never saw the nights I was chasing glory. I had doubts in my head, had weight on my chest, Had a thousand little voices saying I ain't the best, Still I stepped through the door when they told me don't enter, Turned the coldest December into heat in the winter. [Pre-Chorus] I remember that hunger, that look in my eyes, Barely holding it down, barely making it by, Then I heard that door crack, had to kick it wide, Now I walk in the room like I earned my pride. [Chorus] I came from the nights, I came from the grind (I came from the nights) I kept my head high, I kept my own time (I kept my own time) They never saw me climb But I’m here now I came from the nights, I came from the nights And I’m here now [Verse 2] I remember being broke, counting coins on the floor, Now I'm coasting through the storm like I was built for more, Every scar on my hands got a story in it, Every step I took hurt, still I stayed committed. They said slow down, quit now, turn around, I was learning how to fly with my feet on the ground, If the road got rough, I got rougher back, Made a home out the pain, turned the lack to stack. [Pre-Chorus] I remember that hunger, that look in my eyes, Barely holding it down, barely making it by, Then I heard that door crack, had to kick it wide, Now I walk in the room like I earned my pride. [Chorus] I came from the nights, I came from the grind (I came from the nights) I kept my head high, I kept my own time (I kept my own time) They never saw me climb But I’m here now I came from the nights, I came from the nights And I’m here now [Bridge] If you see me shine, know I paid for the glow, Every mile got a mark where the hard times showed, I was built from the cold, from the fear, from the pressure, Now I move like I knew I would be something better. [Final Chorus] I came from the nights, I came from the grind (I came from the nights) I kept my head high, I kept my own time (I kept my own time) They never saw me climb But I’m here now I came from the nights, I came from the nights And I’m here now
