Mama, I Made It (feat. Ctrl)

Mama, I made it
Late nights, no one at my side
I had to grind 'til I could shine
Working 'cause I knew that it was my time
She broke my heart, I didn't cry
Don't worry bout me, mama, Ima be fine
Made it with my day one, my ride or die
Working to bring the evil one's demise
Mama, I made it
I met the Lord and I'm preaching his word
I'm the one, ain't gone be second or third
It's my turn, I don't care, my heart is hurt
From all this trauma, yeah I have emerged
Headed the wrong way, I took a U turn
I have evolved, wings spread like a bird
Now it's my time, Ima go change the world

Mama, I made it
Look at ya boy, look at ya kid
From all that happened, you know my story, look what I did
I had to snap, exploit the pain that she left me here with
After all that, I'm cashing these checks, I'm as big as it gets
Look now I'm back, mama I'm here, and I'm killing these tracks
I'll never have, the fear in my heart, to not expose a rat
Here for the money, here for my bros, no I am not here to chat
Now it's just funny, they counted me out, what they gone say about that

Mama I'm here, look at me pops, now I'm on the big stage
I don't know fear, now they all mad, making minimum wage
I'm shedding tears, 'cause I'm sad, I blew up, everyone changed
The love disappeared, the hate's on demand, but it's cool 'cause we paid
You'll never blow, I didn't ask, can you just leave me alone
Where do I go, fading to black, God know I'm bad to the bone
They'll never know, what's 'hind this mask, labels be calling my phone
I couldn't flow, now I'm the man, sitting on top of the throne

Mama, I made it
Late nights, no one at my side
I had to grind until I could shine
Working 'cause I knew that it was my time
She broke my heart, I didn't cry
Don't worry bout me, mama, Ima be fine
Made it with my day one, my ride or die
Working to bring the evil one's demise
Mama, I made it
I met the Lord and I'm preaching his word
I'm the one, ain't gone be second or third
It's my turn, I don't care, my heart is hurt
From all this trauma, yeah I have emerged
Headed the wrong way, I took a U turn
I have evolved, wings spread like a bird
Now it's my time, Ima go change the world

Mama, I made it, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you
Dad, look I made it, tough love, now my dreams coming true
The man above, taught me to harness myself, and let loose
I've had enough, of acting like me and these rappers is cool
Least half of em fake, grab my lawnmower and chop up these snakes, yeah
Ain't no debate, with substance, I'm the carrying six o eight, yeah
Gotcha, checkmate, I won the game in like four or five moves
What they gone say, diss to my face, now he accepting that he gonna lose, yeah
I hear the bell ring, hearing that go off, I know it's my time
She left and it stings, always would blow me off, ain't like my rhymes, boy
Get outta the ring, you ain't gone blow up, you ain't got the spine
I couldn't sing, never show up, to my concerts on time

I remember sitting in court with you sobbing in my arms
Trying to keep yourself together for me
I remember when I was awful at music
But you knew that this is what I love and supported me
I know I didn't always deserve your support
You open your mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on your tongue
Women came and left my life but you always made sure I knew I had you
And mama, we made it

Mama, I made it
Late nights, no one at my side
I had to grind until I could shine
Working 'cause I knew that it was my time
She broke my heart, I didn't cry
Don't worry bout me, mama, Ima be fine
Made it with my day ones, my ride or dies
Working to bring the evil one's demise
Mama, I made it
I met the Lord and I'm preaching his word
I'm the one, ain't gone be second or third
It's my turn, I don't care, my heart is hurt
From all this trauma, yeah I have emerged
Headed the wrong way, I took a U turn
I have evolved, wings spread like a bird
Now it's my time, Ima go change the world
