Self Made

Built around Looking back at the journey from nothing to something, the pride of building it all yourself with no handouts. Street Wire's raw, unfiltered production carries the concept through hip-hop that rewards repeat listens. "They laughed at my vision, now I'm standing ten feet tall" — the kind of line that sticks in your head three days later. The mood runs triumphant, boastful. Genre showcases on Majik's aren't filler — they're proof that independent music can carry real emotional weight when the lyrics and production align.

[verse 1] Started with a dollar and a dream in my pocket Nobody gave me nothing, had to clock in and clock it Late nights in the basement, writing plans on the wall They laughed at my vision, now I'm standing ten feet tall No co-sign, no favors, no daddy's money train Just discipline and hunger running through my veins Built the ladder from the ground, climbed it rung by rung Self made, self paid, since I was young Remember eating noodles five nights in a row Now the fridge is overflowing, watch the garden grow They want the recipe but skip the ingredients Years of sacrifice, that's the real experience [chorus] Self made, I did it on my own No silver spoon, I carved it out of stone Self made, from the bottom to the throne Look at everything I've built, everything I own Self made, yeah, I put the work in Never had a handout, had to earn my blessing Self made, this is my confession Every scar's a lesson, every loss a stepping stone [verse 2] First business failed, second one too Third time around I finally broke through They only see the highlight reel, not the outtakes Not the sleepless nights or the stomachaches Had to bet on myself when nobody else would Took the risk, made it work, now they knock on wood Saying they believed in me from day one Funny how they show up when the race is won Bank account was negative, now it's looking healthy Diamonds on my wrist but the grind made me wealthy Not the chains or the cars, it's the freedom I bought The ability to say no, you can't be taught [chorus] Self made, I did it on my own No silver spoon, I carved it out of stone Self made, from the bottom to the throne Look at everything I've built, everything I own Self made, yeah, I put the work in Never had a handout, had to earn my blessing Self made, this is my confession Every scar's a lesson, every loss a stepping stone [bridge] Mama told me, baby, you gon' shine one day I held onto those words every step of the way Now I'm shining so bright they need shades to see Self made, self paid, that's the legacy [verse 3] Blueprint on my desk, empire in my mind Every move calculated, nothing left behind They tried to close the door, I built my own house They tried to silence me, I found my own mouth Invested in myself, best ROI Looked failure in the face and I didn't blink an eye Now the same ones who doubted send me messages Congratulations from the spectators in the bleachers, kid [chorus] Self made, I did it on my own No silver spoon, I carved it out of stone Self made, from the bottom to the throne Look at everything I've built, everything I own Self made, yeah, I put the work in Never had a handout, had to earn my blessing Self made, this is my confession Every scar's a lesson, every loss a stepping stone
