Description: Self Made is Video #6 of my 55 music video challenge for 2020! Subscribe to receive notifications of new entrepreneur raps every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 5:00pm PT! This song is an original written and performed by Chris Record, sharing his story of starting out as a door to door salesman in Santa Cruz California, wearing suits from the Salvation Army, and struggling being broke as a young entrepreneur. With persistence and dedication Chris was able to rise to the top and build a successful multi-million dollar internet marketing company, and now he pays it forward by teaching others how to start their own businesses online.

You can achieve  Whatever you dream  What you believe  Will eventually be Success leaves clues And knowledge leaves keys Stay focused on the path Stay focused on the dream  HOOK - SELF MADE I… Got a vision in my mind (It’s my time) I’m on a mission, my ambition is to shine (shine) I sold my television, my decision was to grind (grind) I moved up out my city, just to catch a different vibe (aight) I… Knew I had to redefine (hit rewind) It’s time to figure out a way to leave this life of crime But these voices in my head, they got me trippin every time So I’m switching up the picture, now its life by design First of all, I’m really the not the type that like to lose But it’s difficult to come up when you can’t afford shoes My credit was rejected when I tried to buy a suit So the Salvation Army was the store I had to choose Growing up in Santa Cruz, a hustler paid dues Door to door sales burning holes in my shoes Listen, I was young and being broke is no excuse It’s the school of hard knocks, where success leaves clues I’m humble but hungry, in fact, man I’m starvin’ You ever been so hungry you was digging through the garbage? (damn) Trying to save money, man I’m really trying to start this At my friends apartment, sleeping on the carpet (the carpet) Stop this, nonsense, I’m your subconscious Rise up and conquer your fears like a boss kid It’s toxic, you had a big dream, but you lost it Now it’s time to spark up this fire like an arson I got this, I got this,  I’m ready to unlock this I’m sick and tired of all this lint I carry up in my pockets,  It’s profits!  It’s profits! I trust in the process With knowledge, I can duplicate the keys like a locksmith  It’s obvious I gotta start by changing up my audience...
