I Made It - Cherp, Verse Jones

Momma I made it!

Mother gave me nothin', how could I not take somethin'?

Started from the gutter, ghetto, sellin' razor butter

You could taste the sauce but never know the flavor of it

I had gangsta neighbors who tried to make it out

You can make a mill' and still not make your momma proud

Boulevard of broken dreams, local heros turn to fiends

Corny niggas get an ounce, think they ride with Medellín

Every circumstance is different, I could never play the victim

Pot I never had to piss in?

Turned that to a marble kitchen

I been on this road and I ain’t seen no rest yet

Niggas ain’t seein' me and I ain’t seen success yet

They tried to kill me 'fore I make it to where Biggie at

Simple facts, they could never bring a Biggie back

They tried to ride down on me like a piggyback

But I gotta cap somethin' like a jimmy hat

I’m livin' proof of every day, just make your momma proud

Every day I’m in the this booth, I make my momma smile

I been on this road for a long, long time (forever and a day)

I lost all my friends, left 'em all behind (had to leave 'em all behind)

Ever since that day, I made up my mind (made up my mind)

Don’t know where I’m headed but when I get there Momma, I made it!

Made the major leagues, we was pitchin' underhanded

Your loyaty a tattoo, you wouldn’t understand it

I never met my father, called my Grandmomma momma

She left never my side, for that, I owe her every dollar

I shouldda died a thousand times the way that I was livin'

Now what you do is how you do, just gotta have a vision

Since '93 I was a G, niggas looked up to me

I earned my stripes up in this game, don’t need no referee

If I ever have blood on my shoes these ain’t no red bottoms

Playin' tough’ll get you killed, I still headshot 'em

Sometimes the rap life remind me of the trap life

Even if you playin' your part, they just don’t act right

I’m tryna be what Pac is but I ain’t died yet

I’m tryna bring a platinum plaque back to my projects

I’m tryna be what Pac is but I ain’t died yet

I’m tryna bring a platinum plaque back to my projects

I been on this road for a long, long time (for a long, long, long, long time)

I lost all my friends, left 'em all behind (had to leave 'em all behind)

Ever since that day, I made up my mind (made up my mind)

Don’t know where I’m headed but when I get there Momma, I made it!
