 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.
