Verse 1:
Scenery, yeah
Let's take it back, I'm talking Naija things

Parents working nights
Just so we'd survive

Said "We'll be alright,"
Just hold tight
Greatness in your sight, yeah

God He don used the sonics, yeah
Verse 2:
Right on time, God had done elevated me
I had to climb, we ain't come up the easy way
On the incline, got all this pressure put on me
But it make diamonds, peepin' the shine, now they want mine, yeah
Now it's time, God done took me off the shelf
If I changed, I became a true reflection of His wealth
With the price, yeah, He bought me, I'm so free thanks to His help
Took some time, who'd thought that I'd succeed being myself? Woah

Ease my mind, yeah, have Your way, yeah
Free my mind, yeah, I would pray Lord
Have Your way, aye, have Your way here
Everyday, yeah, yeah
'Cause You see that it gets hard, I get tired
But He rose, so in spite
Walk by faith, not by sight
Life was dark, I was blind
I've been down, not for long
Ain't the end, pass it on
Got a light, I'ma shine
This the start, not my prime, hey
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Lord, what You want I'ma do
Yeah, I'm part of your crew
Really nothing You can't do
With You, I could never lose
Ooh, ooh, anybody You can use
Chorus:
I came from the bottom for real, yeah
We rose from the bottom for real, yeah

We rose from the bottom for real, yeah
Iconic, yeah
