I Made It Lyrics

[Intro]
I told you Ms. Carter... Here we are

[Verse 1]
(Momma, I made it)
You know how I do it like The DOC do it, I fly through it
That's how I operate,
(momma, I made it)
Ghetto like the grease when you getting ya hair braided
Sweeter than ya sister Kool-Aid is
Hooray!! It's the underdog now my feet
On the desk I'm the Presidential favorite

Can't believe I got away with
My earliest stages to being on stages

Having my way with the world, congratulations!!
Your baby boy's a made man I'm a hold the fam down like three generations
I'm talking when spaceships are around and ya great-great grands
Reminiscing bout the foundation you gave em

For repairing my relationship with my pops before he passed
All I ask is you raise your glass in this celebration
Toast to the most beautiful girl in the world
My inspiration thanks for the information


[Chorus]
Momma I made it... momma I made it

[Verse 2]
Out in BK where
It ain't everyday that you make it out

Be on top of yachts waving
I remember you saving for the light bill, paid the rent with the light bill
Now our crib dark as a basement

Had to lock up the phone when you wasn't home
We was communicating like the money you made wasn't basic

Our cable was basic no HBO, WHT, just Ralph McDaniels on the station
I aggravated you for Atari and ColecoVision pinstripe Lee's
When the first day of school came in
I was okay with not having everything
Long as Saturdays you had the Commodores playing

The expression on your face was priceless
Still with me till this day baby girl I won't erase it
I go to my grave with the memory of the sacrifice you made
You deserve a standing ovation

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
