|
Together we made it |
|
We made it even though we had our backs |
|
Up against the wall |
|
See a nigga survived the worst |
|
But my life is glorious (uh!) |
|
But I know that I leaped every hurdle |
|
And I'm so victorious (uh!) |
|
Take a look I'm a symbol of greatness |
|
Now call a nigga Morpheus (yeah) |
|
As force securin' the win, but they |
|
Believe I'm so notorious (yeah) |
|
You know that I've been 'bout my bread |
|
Even though we rappin' now (yes) |
|
We used to live on the strip even though |
|
A nigga higher level trappin' now (oh!) |
|
Superseded everyone of my little struggles and (uh!) |
|
So failure has never ever been an option (trust) |
|
A nigga paper long like rush hour traffic |
|
And I'm about to take the hood shoppin' (get it!) |
|
Together we made it (say we did it niggas) |
|
We made it even though we had our backs |
|
Up against the wall (come on) |
|
Forever we waited (ah hah) |
|
And they told us we were never gonna |
|
Get it all we took it on the road |
|
To the riches (on the road) |
|
To the ghetto (on the road) |
|
In the projects, to this bangin' instrumental (on the road) |
|
Rise with me (on the road) |
|
Come and get it (on the road) |
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yo |
|
When it all got started we were steadily |
|
Just getting rejected |
|
And it seemed like nothin' we could do |
|
Could ever get us respected |
|
At best we were stressed at the worst |
|
They probably said we're pathetic |
|
Had all the pieces to that puzzle |
|
Just the way to connect it |
|
I was fighting through every rhyme |
|
Tightening up every line |
|
Never restin' the question if I |
|
Was out of my mind |
|
It finally came time to do it or let it die |
|
So we put the chips on the table and |
|
Told them to let it ride, sing it (yeah) |
|
Together we made it (say we did it niggas) |
|
We made it even though we had our backs |
|
Up against the wall (come on) |
|
Forever we waited (ah hah) |
|
And they told us we were never gonna |
|
Get it all we took it on the road |
|
To the riches (on the road) |
|
To the ghetto (on the road) |
|
In the projects, to this bangin' instrumental (on the road) |
|
Rise with me (on the road) |
|
Come and get it (on the road) |
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, look |
|
In case you misunderstand exactly what I'm buildin' |
|
This shit that I can leave for |
|
My children's (children's) children's (children) |
|
Now on the wake up I smile, to see how far I've come (yeah) |
|
Fighting for sales when I'm stripped |
|
To negate the hustle from (yeah) |
|
From nights in jail on a bench using my muscles son (yeah) |
|
To countin' money like Dre and Jimmy and Russel was (yeah nigga) |
|
But now I live when I dream, you see we finally did it (oh!) |
|
Let's make a toast to the hustle |
|
Regardless how you get it, sing it |
|
Together we made it (say we did it niggas) |
|
We made it even though we had our backs |
|
Up against the wall (come on) |
|
Forever we waited (ah hah) |
|
And they told us we were never gonna |
|
Get it all we took it on the road |
|
To the riches (on the road) |
|
To the ghetto (on the road) |
|
In the projects, to this bangin' instrumental (on the road) |
|
Rise with me (on the road) |
|
Come and get it (on the road) |
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah |
