“Ain’t forgot Where I’m From”

[Verse 1]
They see the bright lights, the sold-out shows
Think the money makes you somebody they don’t know
But they don’t see the dirt on these boots I wear
Or the scars that remind me how I got here

[Verse 2]
I still hear the echoes of nights in the struggle
Fighting demons that loved to see me stumble
They say I changed—but man, I had to grow
Ain’t no shame in rising from the lowest low

[Chorus]
Just because I made something of myself
Don’t mean I forgot where I came from
Still the same kid with a dollar and a dream
Still got roots in the place I had to leave
I ain’t running, I ain’t hiding
I just built a life worth fighting
But I swear, I ain’t forgot where I’m from

[Verse 3]
Every time I drive down that old back road
I remember every mile, every story I told
Still got people that hold me down
Still got love for my hometown

[Verse 4]
Yeah, I made it—yeah, I’m blessed
But I still feel the weight on my chest
For the ones I lost, for the ones still trying
I ain’t above ‘em, I’m right beside ‘em

[Bridge]
I know who I am, I know what I’ve seen
Ain’t no fame gonna wash me clean
I wear my past like a tattooed prayer
Proof that mercy can meet you anywhere

[Chorus]
Just because I made something of myself
Don’t mean I forgot where I came from
Still the same kid with a dollar and a dream
Still got roots in the place I had to leave
I ain’t running, I ain’t hiding
I just built a life worth fighting
But I swear, I ain’t forgot where I’m from

[Break]

(Final Chorus)
Just because I made something of myself
Don’t mean I forgot where I came from
Still the same kid with a dollar and a dream
Still got roots in the place I had to leave
I ain’t running, I ain’t hiding
I just built a life worth fighting
But I swear, I ain’t forgot where I’m from

(Outro)
