D-Mac - Make It Out lyrics

(Talking) Uh..Uh.. This for my hood n***as 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?, n***a 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 n***a trying to get paid, f** 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 f** your thought's about me less you putting food on my table n***a 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 n***a, hand me them scissors and pa** me that beanie I'm bout to cut three holes in it yo so no one sees me And jack a n***a 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, f** 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 n***as numbers like an unattractive b**h? Sentence us to ten ten years and then go home like it aint sh**? Cuz we was doing sh** for dough to come up with the rent? f**ing 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 n***a 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 n***a trying to get paid, f** 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 n***as, what's good with you? By any means n***a, 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
