5AM Victory
[singing] Yeah.
5 AM, city still asleep.
But I made it out, yeah,
I made it out.
This one's for the ones who
believe, when I ain't even believe
in myself.
One week, before-twenty, I seen her
face.
Phils on a Thursday, she had
that grace.
Walked up confident, no hesitation.
"You the most beautiful," pure admiration.
She thought I was running game,
I was innocent.
Spiritual connection, that was the evidence.
Only twenty dollars to my name,
but I had everything.
First time alone with a woman,
I'm shaking.
Showed her growth with history in
the ink, and Dina said she'd
beat if I ever hurt her
friend.
I said, "She'll hurt me Look
how that story end, ordered her
with my last, that's love in
its purest.
Crossed the forest of class, yeah,
the struggle was the truest.
She wanted more of my time,
but I couldn't explain.
Broke phone, empty pockets, fighting through
the pain.
Well, now it's 5 AM, and
I'm running through the six.
Same kid who ain't have ish,
look at all of this.
Gabby was the reason that I
built it from the floor.
Every late night grinding, she's what
I was doing it for.
5 AM, victory, I finally won.
But I learned you gotta be
somebody before you be someone's son.
Nah, son of one's one.
She was Retweeting dudes, pushing
Beamers.
I was selling laptops, chasing bigger
dreams.
Made a four-month plan, wouldn't speak,
put an equal.
To develop myself so I could
finally reach to her.
Started making my bed, a Aman,
had my back.
Only real one who knew what
I lacked.
They thought I was weird, yeah,
look at me now.
Took the impossible route, and I
figured it out.
DailyRapFacts Rap Facts, born from the
basement.
Twenty 2016, broke, but I had
the foundation.
Kicked out of school, but I
knew the vision.
Twenty 2017, software engineer position.
Sixty K, zero experience on the
resume.
Impossible again, that's the only way
I play.
DM'd Dina for the keys to
her heart, but I was too
late.
She had already moved on.
Now it's 5 AM, and I'm
running through the six.
Same kid who ain't have ish,
look at all of this.
Gabby was the reason that I
built it from the floor.
Every late night grinding, she's what
I was doing it for.
Twenty 2018, wearing chains to the
office.
Biggest music page, they know who
the boss is.
Don't gotta introduce myself at the
party.
They already know, Daily Rap Facts
story.
September, text her, she said,
"Heyyyyy" Me and my Aman
walking King Street, we made it
today.
Fumbled to Nathan, came back in
'19.
She gave me chances I ain't
even deserve to be seeing.
Laughed after "what are we" couldn't
believe I arrived.
She cried on the phone, I
was barely alive.
Hamza in my DMs, exposing the
truth.
Hot girl summer while I'm locked
in the booth.
Grinding at my desk just to
dodge the pain.
Catching flights to New York like
school was a game.
Only reason I enrolled was proximity
to her.
Now the whole world know me,
everything's a blur.
2020 staircase, staircase, opened the jar.
She watched me become everything, a
star.
Said I'm too good, said she'd
only hurt me.
But kee, she called every night,
aligned my sleep perfectly.
Gave me rhythm when my life
had none.
Slapped health into the me, yeah,
she's the one.
But gave me whole just to
leave again, but I ain't bitter.
Nah, I had to win.
5 AM in Toronto, lights across
the lake.
Every scar, every loss, worth what
it take.
She might have left, but she
built what you see.
The kid with twenty dollars is
finally free.
Yeah, finally free.
Gabby, I hope you watching.
Everything I built started with that
one option.
