I'ma Make It
I’ma make it I’ma I’ma make it/ Back on the pavement sweating for the payment/
I’ma make it I’ma I’ma make it/ I won’t be held down never held down/
I’ma make it I’ma I’ma make it/ Mr. Clean fresh one level out the basement/
I’ma make it I’ma I’ma make it/ I won’t be held down never held down/
Back in the day/ when people were hitting lines/
I was writing mine/ reading books, to expand my mind/
From scholastic/ R.L. Stine Christopher Pike/
Like KRS said knowledge is power/ but that was never in my sight/
Mind freelance/ like Creedance Clear Water Revival/
Grades always stagnant/ and never ever spiraled down/
Cause they was always/ in the fifty percentile/
Half assed through class/ in gym never ran that mile/
Though the years on trial/ kicked out of high school/
Always told you’d be nothing/ but I never thought it cruel/
Thought it cool change be due/ so I changed my attitude/
Learned to rhyme later in life/ to throw it back at you/
I’ma make it I’ma I’ma make it/ Back on the pavement sweating for the payment/
I’ma make it I’ma I’ma make it/ I won’t be held down never held down/
I’ma make it I’ma I’ma make it/ Mr. Clean fresh one level out the basement/
I’ma make it I’ma I’ma make it/ I won’t be held down never held down/
Drowned from sound/ with no crowd for me loud/
Kicked out of the house/ for times not proud/
Tricked for doing things/ now on a cops profile/
But got where I am/ cause I finally ran that mile/
Trust and honesty/ loyal to my dawgs/
Many night I spent/ just creeping through the fog/
Many night I’d wish/ I had kept real to my mom’s/
And brother through it all/ but the fall kept me real/
In the days of tomorrow/ in the craze of it all/
Now I blaze for you all/ made mistakes but I roll on/
Never fold on/ thoughts of the past/
Cause the future won’t be putrid/ let the hate phase out man/
I’ma make it I’ma I’ma make it/ Back on the pavement sweating for the payment/
I’ma make it I’ma I’ma make it/ I won’t be held down never held down/
I’ma make it I’ma I’ma make it/ Mr. Clean fresh one level out the basement/
I’ma make it I’ma I’ma make it/ I won’t be held down never held down/
Timber who Dr. What/ everybody saying/
Timber who Dr. What/ they know who be playing/
Timber who Dr. What/ ya’ll know me/
D Money/ representing four o three/
Like skittles/ you can always taste my riddles of hip-hop/
Decipher what I’m saying/ in the world of lip lock/
I’m bringing made flavour/ to the people of the grid lock/
Rhyme style of times/ like “Money Money Making”/
I’ma make it I’ma I’ma make it/ Back on the pavement sweating for the payment/
I’ma make it I’ma I’ma make it/ I won’t be held down never held down/
I’ma make it I’ma I’ma make it/ Mr. Clean fresh one level out the basement/
I’ma make it I’ma I’ma make it/ I won’t be held down never held down/
