Young'C - When nobody came

[Intro] Yeah Funny how it works Look [Verse 1] I kept it calm when the pressure got loud Learned how to move when nobody was around Had plans in my head I could never explain So I stopped explaining and stayed in my lane Back then, nobody asked how I felt I had to learn how to bet on myself Some nights were long, but I never complained You get real strong when nobody came I watched people leave when the timing got bad Then come back around when they liked what I had I don't hold grudges, I know how it goes Some people love you when everybody knows I learned that silence can tell you the truth You see who they are when there's nothing to use Now I keep peace like it's money in banks I know what I built, I don't need any thanks [Chorus – Melodic Rap] When nobody came, I still found a way When nobody called, I still showed up each day I kept my head high when the whole thing changed Now they see the result, but they missed that phase I don't need saving, I know what I'm made of Lost a few people, but never my faith If it all falls down, I'll build it again I know how it feels when nobody came [Post-Chorus] Yeah I know that road I been there before That's why I know I'll be good on my own [Verse 2] These days I move with a little more care Not everybody deserves to be there I used to mistake being known for respect Now I can tell by the way they connect Everybody loves when the story looks good Nobody asks what it took if they could They see the view, but they missed every stair Now when I win, I remember who cared I don't need ten people calling me brother I'd rather have two that would ride for each other I learned that loyalty sounds real cheap Till staying beside you actually costs something deep I made mistakes and I own every one That's why I'm proud of the man I've become No perfect story, no easy campaign Just me and the lessons that came with the pain [Chorus – Melodic Rap] When nobody came, I still found a way When nobody called, I still showed up each day I kept my head high when the whole thing changed Now they see the result, but they missed that phase I don't need saving, I know what I'm made of Lost a few people, but never my faith If it all falls down, I'll build it again I know how it feels when nobody came [Beat Cut] [Bridge] I don't call it lonely I call it learning Every closed door Kept something turning Now if they stay That's love, that's fine If they walk away I still got mine [Final Chorus] When nobody came, I still found a way When nobody called, I still showed up each day I kept my head high when the whole thing changed Now they know my name, but they missed those days I don't need saving, I know what I'm made of Been through enough to know I won't break If it all falls down, I'll build it again 'Cause I know who I am when nobody came [Outro] Yeah That's the difference When nobody came I still came through
