rap (Chorus) From the ground up, now we standing tall Started with nothing, now I got it all From the ground up, yeah, the whole crew's in We built this empire, let the game begin From the ground up, now we on top Couldn't stop us, now the whole block's hot From the ground up, see the crew shine bright Took the hard road, now we livin' the life (Verse 1) Folks be talking like they know my strife
