Self Made lyrics

Born to survive like father like gun

Built to outlast where you came from

Nothing comes easy when nothing is handed to you

Taught yourself how to turn the tides

Walk ashore before the waters rise

Even when you're down, you're still coming through

Making diamonds out of dust

You shine before you turn to rust

[Chorus:]

Never by the book, always underestimated

It's hard to believe the life that you've created

Self made

Learned from the will of the working man

Breaking hard ground for a piece of land

Up before the sun and down before the rising moon

Oh, fought for the things that were never yours

Settle for less and hope for more

God and pouring rain never come too soon

Making diamonds out of dust

Who you are is who you trust

[Chorus:]

Never by the book, always underestimated

It's hard to believe the life that you've created

Self made

The impossible endeavor, never would you trade

It's a legacy that you take to the grave

Self made

Self made

Live and die by the chance we're taking

Money don't buy the life that we're making

[Chorus:]

Never by the book, always underestimated

It's hard to believe the life that you created

The impossible endeavor never would you trade

It's a legacy that you take to the grave

Self made, self made

Live and die by the chance we're taking, self made

Money don't buy the life that we're making

Live and die by the chance we're taking, self made

Money don't buy the life that we're making

Live and die by the chance we're taking, self made

Money don't buy the life that we're making
