Started from the Bottom Lyrics » Drake
[Intro]
Started—
Zombie on the track
[Chorus]
Started from the bottom, now we’re here
Started from the bottom, now my whole team fuckin’ here
Started from the bottom, now we’re here
Started from the bottom, now the whole team here, nigga
Started from the bottom, now we’re here
Started from the bottom, now my whole team here, nigga
Started from the bottom, now we’re here
Started from the bottom, now the whole team fuckin’ here
[Verse 1]
I done kept it real from the jump
Livin’ at my momma’s house, we’d argue every month
Nigga, I was tryna get it on my own
Workin’ all night, traffic on the way home
And my uncle callin’ me, like, “Where you at?
I gave you the keys, told you bring it right back”
Nigga, I just think it’s funny how it goes
Now I’m on the road, half a million for a show, and we—
[Chorus]
Started from the bottom, now we’re here
Started from the bottom, now my whole team fuckin’ here
Started from the bottom, now we’re here
Started from the bottom, now the whole team here, nigga
Started from the bottom, now we’re here
Started from the bottom, now the whole team fuckin’ here
Started from the bottom, now we’re here
Started from the bottom, now the whole team here, nigga

About Drake’s Started from the Bottom from Nothing Was the Same (2013)
On the lead single to
Nothing Was the Same
, Drake delivers a come-up piece about how he “Started from the Bottom.“
Thematically, this track embodies the famed underdog narrative, but it was subject to a lot of discussion upon its release—there were
debates
about how low the “bottom“ had been for Drake. He responded to the criticism the song received in a June 2013
interview with
GQ
:
I think a lot of people wish that their favorite rapper wrote it—as if a song like that should be gangster. But I was the one who wrote it, and everyone has their bottom.
Drake had originally planned to debut the track on the same day as the 2012 Grammy Awards, but instead chose to release it a week earlier via
his website
, along with the following message:
I feel sometimes that people don’t have enough information about my beginnings and therefore they make up a life story for me that isn’t consistent with actual events.
The
music video
dropped on February 13, 2013, and features Drake as a drugstore worker before being promoted to night manager—the video also sees him partying, flying in jets, and
dancing next to a Bentley in a blizzard
, underlining his journey from the bottom to the top.
Following its release, the song received massive acclaim, both
critically
and
commercially
, and has gone on to be
recognized
as one of Drake’s best songs.

A
mondegreen
was the main inspiration for “Started from the Bottom.”
During an
interview with Shahdom Reid & JAY Z’s
Life+Times
,
Future said he wanted to be featured on “Started from the Bottom.”
When he made the record, he was in a studio session with me. It was for
“Chosen One”
… So when we was at the studio, Drake came by, and I always tell my engineer
“start it from the bottom”…
He was waiting for me in “Chosen One” to say “start it from the bottom.”
He telling me this story — He bought me a bottle of Louis XIII that I never opened up because of this story and I was like, “Man I don’t want a bottle, I need publishing.” But Drake, that’s the homie and he was like, “Um, man, start it from the bottom, it stayed on my mind.” — “I instantly got in with the driver and told him to put the CD in, I already had the beat and I just started saying ‘started from the bottom now we here.‘”
I was like, “Man, why you didn’t tell me in the studio?” That’s the first time I ever told somebody that story in the public. I’m not doing it for the publicity, just being honest.
According to
Songfacts
, Drake told
Billboard
magazine the song
“Niggas in Paris”
for his inspiration:
I was like, ‘How did I not think of that?’ – ‘Ball so hard, that s–t cray!’ It was real rap s–t, but it felt melodic; all the cadences felt so good.“ The Toronto MC added that it challenged him to come up with a rapped hook just as catchy as a sung one and he came up with this song.
