You Can Make It - Royce 5'9, Peter James

I feel like I can lift the world and put the planet on my shoulders

But I seen those artists fall

And let the weight just hold them down, but

I can’t stop now, I’m in it too deep

I put too much time and money for abilities to peak, see

I’ve seen my capabilities, overcome the probabilities

That society instilled in me, but still I see

Other artists fall, that were just as good as me cause

Even with that mind of making it, it gets harder to breathe

But when I catch that glimpse of fresh air

It is right there, that I see my dreams ascend, yeah

Then I put that mic in my hand, it’s very clear

This is my time dude

Flow’s a perfect ten so we gonna Nickle and dime you

My rhymes grew, my minds screwed, that rent’s due

But I’ll die trying rather than have these dreams not come true

This is a struggle, how much more can I try?

I don’t wanna work this 9 to 5, I’d rather work with 5'9″

Hook:

Love or career, no limits, no fear cause

You can make it, you can make it

See success in the mirror, it’s closer than it appears, know that

You can make it, you can make it

On that path you steer, straight and narrow, don’t veer cause

You can make it, you can make it

In my voice you can hear, all my pain and my tears, know that

You can make it, you can make it.

(yeah, Nickle. Yeah.)

All my life, I lived a life of beats, rhymes and street shit

Had my ups and downs, hustling around but in these times, I

Throw up the peace sign, who I eat with, its feast time

Now rewind, I used to listen to Esham in a Nissan

Now I’m ridin' round' the D in Porsche’s

And I don’t need media sources, to enforce that we important

Just for the moment, don’t let it get to your head, don’t

Allow your mind to be weak and you gotta be headstrong

I made it here, embodying all of my latest fears

Drunk as at the party, still my cadence clear

My equilibrium on the same zone my swag on

Car riding good, she in a good mood, her ride gone

Just like my bitch

Just my mistress, she likes my bitch but can’t have her

Before I snitch, I think I’d rather;

drop dead

Before I drop a dime like Hank Gathers, that’s devastation

I take my life myself, to help my self-preservation

Hook:

Love or career, no limits, no fear cause

You can make it, you can make it

See success in the mirror, it’s closer than it appears, know that

You can make it, you can make it

On that path you steer, straight and narrow, don’t veer cause

You can make it, you can make it

In my voice you can hear, all my pain and my tears, know that

You can make it, you can make it
