Started from the bottom with my day ones by my side
Mama worked three jobs just to keep our dream alive
Coach believed in me when i couldn't see the light
Now I'm spitting fire while they cheering in the night
Shoutout to my teacher, Mrs. Johnson, kept me straight
Said "You got potential, don't you ever hesitate"
Brother held me down when the world was closing in
Now we counting paper, let the legacy begin
They lifted me up when i was falling down
My circle of gold, they never let me drown
From the ground to the crown, we did it together
My people, my strength, we gon' shine forever
Circle of gold, circle of gold
They believed in my story before it was told
Circle of gold, circle of gold
Now we living the dream that we used to hold
Uh, shoutout to my producer in that basement studio
Making beats till sunrise, helped me find my flow
My homie with the camera shot my first music vid
Now we Oscar-nominated for the things we did
Sister called me crazy when i quit my 9 to 5
Now she managing my tours, keeping dreams alive
Grandpa's wisdom echoing in every single bar
"Stay humble, stay hungry, you gon' be a star"
They saw the vision when it wasn't clear
Invested in my future when success wasn't near
Now we changing the game, revolution is here
To everyone who stayed, I hold you dear
Late nights in the kitchen, writing rhymes till dawn
Mom brought me coffee, said "Keep pushing on"
Best friend drove me to every open mic
Never asked for nothing, just believed i'd take flight
Mentor in the industry opened every door
Showed me the business, taught me what to fight for
Now i'm signing checks for my whole crew
Success tastes better when you share it too
They lifted me up when i was falling down
My circle of gold, they never let me drown
From the struggle to the stage, we climbed together
Through the storms and the pain, we stand forever
Circle of gold, circle of gold
Their love was the story that needed to be told
Circle of gold, circle of gold
Now we living the dream, hearts made of gold
To my circle of gold... this one's for you
Everything i am, i owe to what you do
We started with nothing but we had each other
Now we golden forever, nothing can smother
The love, the loyalty, the bond that we share
Success is just sweeter when you're already there
