We Gon Make It - Add-2

We’re gonna make it this time

We gon' make it, yea we gon' make it

I can’t stand to lose you

We gon' make it, yea we gon' make it

We’re gonna make it this time

We gon' make it, yea we gon' make it

Don’t let the past confuse you

We gon' make it, yea we gon' make it

Who would’ve thought we would’ve made it this far?

Our teachers thought we’d end up behind bars

My father taught me to finish things I start

When you even the odds you always end up in stars

Right under the moonlight bright, it’s sunshine

Mama’s son, this little light of mine, make ‘em blind

With every breath to death, either hear what I say

Pressin' rewind with these rhymes, niggas know I don’t play

Gotta do it to death, gotta give it my best

The stress on my chest like Superman with the S

I don’t change in the booth, you Clark Kent on these songs

Where I’m from we don’t live that long

So if you listenin' know how critical your position is

Tryna make the cut, know how deep the incision is

Had to take a chance when there ain’t nobody givin' in

Not to show you what’s possible but to show you what’s imminent

And that’s the difference

We’re gonna make it this time

We gon' make it, yea we gon' make it

I can’t stand to lose you

We gon' make it, yea we gon' make it

We’re gonna make it this time

We gon' make it, yea we gon' make it

Don’t let the past confuse you

We gon' make it, yea we gon' make it

Mama said to clean the house, don’t make her say it again

When I was ten, reminiscin', let me live it again

Moment in time, rhyme when I listen to all these songs

Close my eyes, it’s a polaroid in audio form

Now bring it back, sweet memories back, when big mama was livin'

Wearin' her slippers sayin' «Gimme a kiss»

Somethin' I miss, shit that’s gone in the distance wishin' it didn’t

But it did, to the day that you die, you gotta live

So live to the fullest, a bullet had took the life of my neighbour

Miss Perry, tellin' us Mickey died, I cried a million tears

My shirt covered my eyes, look to the sky he a little older than I

And a few days before on his porch, we sittin' there

Told him I liked his Jordans, he said «I'll get you a pair»

That was somethin' I admired, I told him I’d wanna be him

Now the last time I seen him was the last time I seen him

Rest in peace Mickey

We’re gonna make it this time

We gon' make it, yea we gon' make it

I can’t stand to lose you

We gon' make it, yea we gon' make it

We’re gonna make it this time

We gon' make it, yea we gon' make it

Don’t let the past confuse you

We gon' make it, yea we gon' make it

I learned progression as an adolescent

Life taught me more lessons than they could’ve in class

I watched a wino buy a fifth, sip then fill up the flask

My friend just bought a dutch, split it, filled it with hash

Pimps pulled up on the Ave, Cadillac Eldorado

Hoes minus the stretch marks could’ve been models

In they prime, I’d be lyin' if I said I’d never thought about buyin'

Peaches for a night, she was light skin

Like she could’ve been kin of Lisa Bonet

Baby doll hair, real cute in the face

The same city that drove me insane somehow saved me

With hoop dreams we sorta like Arthur Agee

In the alley playin' ball where niggas don’t call calls

Watchin' the playground legends later fall off

Fall from grace, son don’t wonder why we say it

Don’t know how but we’ll make it, we gon' make it

We’re gonna make it this time

We gon' make it, yea we gon' make it

I can’t stand to lose you

We gon' make it, yea we gon' make it

We’re gonna make it this time

We gon' make it, yea we gon' make it

Don’t let the past confuse you

We gon' make it, yea we gon' make it
