    (Zombie on the track)

    Started from the bottom, now we're here
    Started from the bottom, now my whole team fuckin' here
    Started from the bottom, now we're here
    Started from the bottom, now the whole team here, nigga
    Started from the bottom, now we're here
    Started from the bottom, now my whole team here, nigga
    Started from the bottom, now we're here
    Started from the bottom, now the whole team fuckin' here

    I done kept it real from the jump
    Livin' at my mama house we'd argue every month
    Nigga, I was tryna get it on my own
    Workin' all night, traffic on the way home
    And my uncle callin' me like, "Where ya at?
    I gave you the keys told you bring it right back"
    Nigga, I just think it's funny how it goes
    Now I'm on the road, half a million for a show

    And we started from the bottom, now we're here
    Started from the bottom, now my whole team fuckin' here
    Started from the bottom, now we're here
    Started from the bottom, now the whole team here, nigga
    Started from the bottom, now we're here
    Started from the bottom, now the whole team fuckin' here
    Started from the bottom, now we're here
    Started from the bottom, now the whole team here, nigga

    Boys tell stories 'bout the man
    Say I never struggled, wasn't hungry, yeah, I doubt it, nigga
    I could turn your boy into the man
    There ain't really much I hear that's poppin' off without us, nigga
    We just want the credit where it's due
    I'ma worry 'bout me, give a fuck about you
    Nigga, just as a reminder to myself
    I wear every single chain, even when I'm in the house

    'Cause we started from the bottom, now we're here
    Started from the bottom, now my whole team fuckin' here
    Started from the bottom, now we're here
    Started from the bottom, now the whole team here, nigga

    No new niggas, nigga, we don't feel that
    Fuck a fake friend, where your real friends at?
    We don't like to do too much explainin'
    Story stay the same, I never changed it
    No new niggas, nigga, we don't feel that
    Fuck a fake friend, where your real friends at?
    We don't like to do too much explainin'
    Story stay the same through the money and the fame

    'Cause we started from the bottom, now we're here
    Started from the bottom, now my whole team fuckin' here
    Started from the bottom, now we're here
    Started from the bottom, now the whole team here, nigga
    Started from the bottom, now we're here
    Started from the bottom, now my whole team here, nigga
    Started from the bottom, now we're here
    Started from the bottom, now the whole team here, nigga Writer/s: Aubrey Drake Graham, Michael Colemand, Noah James Shebib
