[00:24.642]Mama, I made it, got my chain now
[00:29.140]I got that Benz too
[00:32.202]I got my Louis Vuitton and my Gucci shoes
[00:37.547]Mama, I made it, I got those trues and vogues
[00:41.821]I keep some groupie hoes
[00:44.676]I got that old school with those Lambo doors
[00:50.099]But I'm scared it all ain’t enough
[00:54.975]To free my soul
[01:01.593]Lord, Mama, I made it
[01:03.047][Verse 1]
[01:03.713]**** what they talkin'—nah, it ain’t about talent
[01:05.797]It’s no longer an art, niggas piss on your canvas and parade
[01:09.289]Okay, so you paved the way, but I rode the road
[01:12.266]Farther than you'd go before, but still, you block the road some more
[01:15.925]I'm on my last leg, and they passing me by
[01:18.006]With a sign that say "I rap to eat" and both of my thumbs in the sky, damn
[01:21.765]When will my time come? Should I just sell dope?
[01:24.670]For money, cars, clothes, and hoes, 'cause they say that's "successful?" ('Cause I just wanna be successful...)
[01:28.367]'Til a nigga run up on you and unload
[01:30.926]'Cause he poor and you shine just like the moon glow
[01:34.213]Stunting in your Bentley, but it cost you your soul
[01:37.421]When God come to collect, I hope you got what you owe
[01:40.320]If I made it
[01:40.941][Hook]

[01:47.068]I got my Louis Vuitton and my Gucci shoes
[01:51.976]Mama, I made it, I got those trues and vogues
[01:56.629]I keep some groupie hoes
[01:59.628]I got that old school with those Lambo doors
[02:04.475]But I'm scared it all ain’t enough
[02:10.458]To free my soul
[02:16.397]Lord, Mama, I made it
[02:17.364][Verse 2]
[02:17.696]Forever dreaming, wishing on a star for help
[02:20.225]I give a nigga food for thought, he rather starve himself
[02:23.241]Apart from wealth, I think it was the shine that got us blinded
[02:26.542]Not sure of what we reading when we signing our life away
[02:30.368]They say ignorance is bliss; well, I'd like to state—
[02:33.291]The game is just not records, and real shit, they don’t like to play
[02:36.277]You ghetto famous to us—you just Bojangles to them
[02:39.572]Tap your feet, tip your brim, and sell it back to yo kin
[02:43.093]I don't rap, I spit hymns, my God's bigger than them
[02:46.081]Tryin' to blacken your heart and say we children of men
[02:49.853]I sin, 'cause I ain't perfect
[02:51.557]But I'd rather save your life than hurt it, if I made it
[02:54.588][Hook]
[02:54.945]Mama, I made it, got my chain now
[02:58.825]I got that Benz too
[03:01.838]I got my Louis Vuitton and my Gucci shoes
[03:06.979]Mama, I made it, I got those trues and vogues
[03:11.088]I keep some groupie hoes
[03:14.438]I got that old school with those Lambo doors
[03:19.293]But I'm scared it all ain’t enough to free my soul
[03:31.256]Lord, Mama, I made it
[03:32.442][Bridge]
[03:33.021]Now, what if all the things I'm fightin' for, oh, Lord
[03:37.615]Don't get me where I'm going?
[03:44.403]Now, what if I don’t see the signs in time? Oh, Lord
[03:50.132]I'm praying that you show me
[03:56.644]Mama, I made it
[03:57.840][Outro: "The Thin Line" sample]
[04:09.036]I feel sorry for you, kid
[04:11.507]If you're smart, you take care of yourself
[04:13.506]There's nothing you can do for anybody else
[04:15.723]What difference do you think you can make?
[04:17.117]One single man, in all this madness?
