Johnny Viti - A Kid From Nothing lyrics

A long time coming, just a kid from nothing/ But now I'm chasing money and I'm tryna make something/ Of everything I wasn't, and everything I wanna be/ Fame and all the better things is everything I wanna see/ I'm sick of living broke, goddamn it's a bitter life/ But every single morning, I'm glad for every bit of life/ A struggle as it may be, life is never easy/ Never took for granted all the lessons they would teach me/ Remember high school? I could never get a date/ I was looked at all lame, but those b**hes were fake, hey/ But then I started rapping, hearing everybody laughing/ Cracking jokes they say I'm whack, catching flack like I'm Mac/ I remember bumping KIDS man, that was my sh**/ It inspired me to spit, kept me going when I quit/ And I'm thankful for that, I am, and all the other music/ That kept me going on my journey, helping my pursue it/ But sometimes it's hard and I thought I was gonna lose it/ For every dark night, fill in the blank, that's some true sh**/ Ooh, ooh, ooh, I was hated on/ You're a motherf**ing p**y woodpushing skater, John/ Goddamn, everything I did I was backlashed/ I wanna see there faces when I'm stacking up that fat cash/ In the end it's worth it, everything I've gone through/ You can be the one to shut em up and act strong too/ A long time coming, just a kid from nothing/ But now I'm chasing money and I'm tryna make something/ Of everything I wasn't, and everything I wanna be/ Fame and all the better things is everything I wanna see/ I'm sick of living broke, goddamn it's a bitter life/ But every single morning, I'm glad for every bit of life/ A struggle as it may be, life is never easy/ Never took for granted all the lessons they would teach me/ Wake up every morning dreading work, 7 to 5/ Unload another truck, come home and write a rhyme/ Tryna sell some CDs yo, no one's even buying/ If I told you bout my confidence, I'd probably be lying/ And I'm only 21 so I'm sticking to my guns/ And I may be young and dumb, but you know I'll never run/ From the fears in my mind, but f** em I don't need em/ Wear emotions on my sleeve, don't believe, come and read em motherf**er/ Ha but here we go again/ And I had the same dreams since my height was like 4'10"/ Run out on the stage hearing everybody screaming/ These motherf**ers know my name, man I must be dreaming/ Giving all these people, y'know, something to believe in/ Put your mind in front of matter then you can achieve it/ Look at me it's possible, a kid from the old block/ Getting all my props and the sh** just don't stop/ A long time coming, just a kid from nothing/ But now I'm chasing money and I'm tryna make something/ Of everything I wasn't, and everything I wanna be/ Fame and all the better things is everything I wanna see/ I'm sick of living broke, goddamn it's a bitter life/ But every single morning, I'm glad for every bit of life/ A struggle as it may be, life is never easy/ Never took for granted all the lessons they would teach me/ A long time coming, a kid from nothing/ A long time coming, a kid from nothing/ A long time coming, a kid from nothing/ A long time coming, aight one more time like/ A long time coming, just a kid from nothing/ But now I'm chasing money and I'm tryna make something/ Of everything I wasn't, and everything I wanna be/ Fame and all the better things is everything I wanna see/ I'm sick of living broke, goddamn it's a bitter life/ But every single morning, I'm glad for every bit of life/ A struggle as it may be, life is never easy/ Never took for granted all the lessons they would teach me/
