Trey
Yes ma'am
This is Aretha
Believe in yourself
Believe in your dreams
Don't let nobody tell you what you can't do
You sure gonna make it, yeah
This song is for my shawty
That's going through it, you gotta know you can do it
And this song is for my homie
Just hold it down 'cause build it from the ground up
'Cause I tried a suit with a smile, it ain't fit me
And I played the block for a while, people tryna kill me
No matter what you go through, I know one thing is true
Keep believing in you
'Cause when it's feeling like you just can't take it
And no matter what you do, they keep hating
Lift your head up to the sky, tell yourself I
I just gotta make it, I just gotta make it
'Cause when it's feeling like you just can't take it
And no matter what you do, they keep hating
Lift your head up to the sky, tell yourself I
I just gotta make it, I just gotta make it
Shawty, I know you 'bout to have your baby
Before you give up, just take a second, lady
Look in the mirror, your reflection, lady
It's perfection, baby, don't neglect it, baby
Now homie, I know you been nickling and diming
Can't get enough hours at your job to put your time in
I know them streets looking good and that money looking long
Gon' and get it how you live, who am I to say you wrong?
'Cause I tried a suit with a smile, it ain't fit me
And I played the block for a while, people tryna kill me
No matter what you go through, I know one thing is true
Keep believing in you
'Cause when it's feeling like you just can't take it
And no matter what you do, they keep hating
Lift your head up to the sky, tell yourself I
I just gotta make it, I just gotta make it
'Cause when it's feeling like you just can't take it
And no matter what you do, they keep hating
Lift your head up to the sky, tell yourself I
I just gotta make it, I just gotta make it
Man, I done slept in the hallways but I didn't cry though
Was advanced with my learning but was all caught in the cycle
What I wore in the daytime is what I wore as my night clothes
Concerned about a meal when I shoulda been shutting my eyes closed
Know about the stones, whacko wheels and the pot holes
On the corner by Red Rooster with the good, y'all can eat the nachos
If I ain't got nothing, I got flow, small carryin' the block load
Just keep on grinding, don't pay attention to these pot holes
And you can make a come up making moves in the Hummer
And you can bring the children down to Disney World this summer
I done been to hell and back, that's why I changed my life
Been caught up and convicted for the same thing twice
Mama preaching to me to get my mind frame right
They found two of my partners' bodies on the same night
If I was with them then I'd be riding on the same flight
I was living in the dark, now I'm in the light
I'm here today, I know I
I just gotta make it, just gotta make it
Just to see that smile up on your face, I know I
I just gotta make it, just gotta make it
Everything I do, I do for you and we
Just gotta make it
To the top of the world, me and my girl, we
Just gotta make it, just gotta make it
Just gotta make it
As long as you ain't stepping on nobody
That's the queen of soul
Trying to get where you're going
She paved the way for me now
So I know she knows
Hang tough when you have to
You're gonna make it
And I make it
You're gonna make it, yeah
I know
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm gonna make it, make it, make it, make it, make it
Make it, make it, make it
I know I can make it, Aretha
Make it, make it
Tell me I can't make it
I said tell me I can't make it
I'm gon' make it
