Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I came in with crumbs in my sock
Cold floor, one lock on the box
Mama said, "Boy, keep watch"
I learned how to turn pain to stock

Rent was late, lights got cut
Still I stood up, chin up, guts
Made a plan in a lunchroom tray
Now my name got weight when I walk

Old boots, new route
Same hands made the proof
Counted loss, then I moved
Every scar got a use

They laughed, then they watched
Now I pull up and I don't stop
From the cot, from the cot
Now I want what the yacht got

[Pre-Chorus]
I seen the mud
I seen the rain
I seen them doors
Shut in my face

Now I step in
Gold on my chain
Same old kid
Just a new place

[Chorus]
From the cot to the yacht
Cot to the yacht
I rose, I rose, then I shot

From the cot to the yacht
Cot to the yacht
Ain't no luck in the plot

From the cot to the yacht
Cot to the yacht
I made a way from the rock

[Verse 2]
Back when the fridge had air
Back when the stove was bare
I was out here stacking small wins
Like I knew that the top was there

Now it's black cars, long days
Big steps, clean ways
Same face, different frame
But I kept that hunger on blaze

I don't flex for the room
I flex for the nights I knew
I'd be counted out, doubted out
Now they all want the view

I got family on my back
I got goals in my sight
I got miles in my mind
And I still sleep light

Paper turn, lessons learned
Every bridge I burned
Made a lane for the next man up
Now I'm first when I turn

[Pre-Chorus]
I seen the mud
I seen the rain
I seen them doors
Shut in my face

Now I step in
Gold on my chain
Same old kid
Just a new place

[Chorus]
From the cot to the yacht
Cot to the yacht
I rose, I rose, then I shot

From the cot to the yacht
Cot to the yacht
Ain't no luck in the plot

From the cot to the yacht
Cot to the yacht
I made a way from the rock

[Bridge]
I remember the ceiling low
I remember the bills on fold
Now my future got open seas
Still I keep that code

No handout, no lucky break
Just a pulse and a bigger stake
If I had to start from the floor
I'd do it all again

[Chorus]
From the cot to the yacht
Cot to the yacht
I rose, I rose, then I shot

From the cot to the yacht
Cot to the yacht
Ain't no luck in the plot

From the cot to the yacht
Cot to the yacht
I made a way from the rock
