Had to run it up
They ain't wanna hear my music
Nah, they was laughin' in my face

Had to run it up, got it out the mud
Everything it is, once never was
It was never them, it was just us
It was never them, it was just us
Got it out the mud, had to run it up
Everything it is, once never was
It was never them, it was just us
It was never them, it was just us

We turned nothing into something
We turned nothing into something
We turned nothing into something
We turned nothing into something, yeah
