Make It Out

(Talking) Uh..Uh.. This for my hood niggas whats good with you?

Verse 1:

Grew up a dreamer
Eager to make believers of doubters and fill arenas with shouters, rooting me on
Lighting herb, reciting words to my songs
The ink spills lyrics to heal those who were born
Like me, who look up to the stars in the middle of the night
Mind cloudy as the skies trying to figure out their life
What was once looking bright's now dim
Your odds of making it's slim
You're looking all in the mirror like who is him?
Uncertainty all over your face, what a disgrace!
What happened to your faith?, nigga stand up straight
Hard times make you who you are man up, ay
If life knocks you down seven times, stand up eight
And move forward, towards them goals you jotted and plotted
Taped to the wall and told yourself "you got it" you got it
Listen I'm reminiscing on the position that I was just in
Visions balling like a piston's my mission

Pre Hook:

I'm trying to make it out, ay yo I gotta make it out

Hook:
So we grind all day, hustle all night
Dusk till dawn getting my money right
A nigga trying to get paid, fuck being broke
Get up go and get it yeah thats all I know
I'm just trying to make it out, Ay yo i gotta make it out, without a doubt

Verse 2:

Imma keep working for better, as long as I'm able
Fuck your thought's about me less you putting food on my table
Nigga you don't pay these bills, under my nails is dirt
Can't clean em & cant chill as long as my mama's at work
Wanna see her quit her job, and pull off
In her dream car and park it at her dream house, with three accounts
One for mortgage and bills, one when she wants to chill
And one for a rainy day I pray she never faces
Cuz Lord knows we've had storms, 40 days and 40 nights and had floods
Did things for money only God could judge
Nigga, hand me them scissors and pass me that beanie
I'm bout to cut three holes in it yo so no one sees me
And jack a nigga for his jesus piece father forgive me
Just reacted to mama's tears but God you know the real me
But first thing in the morning, this chain getting dropped
And imma hit Quan phone and we gon' set up shop

Prehook:

To make it out, cuz we just trying to make it out, without a doubt

Hook:
Grind all day, hustle all night
On my grind getting my money right
Man I'm trying to get paid, fuck being broke
Get up go and get it yeah thats all I know
I'm just trying to make it out, Ay man I gotta make it out, without a doubt

Verse 3:
Your honor before you bang that gavel may I ask why you're so quick
To try and give us niggas numbers like an unattractive bitch?
Sentence us to ten ten years and then go home like it aint shit?
Cuz we was doing shit for dough to come up with the rent?
Fucking prick! I keep my distance
I'm smart enough to know that I fit the description
To be another statistic, raised in living conditions where the crime pays
They're even doing scams nowadays
And who am I to feel a way or say a thing about it?
We're chasing money nigga we cant go a day without it
I got some issues mama told me I should pray about it
Cuz she don't want me in them streets she hopes I stay up out em
But ay Im knee deep trying to make a way up out em
It's either hustle or be hungry aint no way around it
See people only see the shine they don't ever see the grind
Before you ever make a dime
You gotta put it time

Pre Hook:
To make it out, cuz boy we trying to make it out
Ay what you bout?

Hook:
Grind all day, hustle all night
Dusk till dawn getting my money right
A nigga trying to get paid, fuck being broke
Get up go and get it yeah thats all I know
I'm just trying to make it out, Ay i just gotta make it out, without a doubt

(Outro: D-Mac)
I gotta make it out, Man I'm trying to make it out
Man I wanna make it out, Man I gotta make it out
This for my hood niggas, what's good with you?
By any means nigga, gotta make it out
Aint nothing coming to a sleeper but a good night's rest
I'm up early in the morning trying to get that check you heard
Trying to make it out, Ay yo I gotta make it out

(Talking: Jermaine Dupri)
If you got a idea and you wanna be a rapper or you wanna be a singer
Or you wanna do something in life, you cant let no one tell you that you cant do it
You just gotta keep doing it, and keep doing it
And, it's good to have someone behind you
So if its not your parents, get a friend
And you know yawl be down and yall do what you gotta do
And don't look behind you, just keep doing what you gotta do
And it'll come to you one of these days
