Mama We Made It Lyrics

I done seen bloody bodies in the hood

I seen some things you never understood

I remember my mama cookin' frozen goods

Her fightin' and scratchin' kept me from the mud

She workin' for any penny that she could

Her strippin' for benjis kept me where we was

Yeah we done seen plenty problem in the day

But I couldn't help but to stand up and say that

Mama we made it

Look mama we made it

Hard work and that dedication

Is what got us up out of that basement

Look mama we made it

See mama we made it

You taught me that lesson

I swear that I'm taking it back to the pavement

My mama told me hold it down

I'm dodgin' the devil every time he 'round

I'm blessin' the city go and ask the town

I'm doing a different listen to my sound

I hope that I change it 'fore I hit the ground

Cause I was a youngin' 4 1 9er dreamin'

I tried to do right surrounded by these demons

I fought to get out like Scottie gon and beam em up

On a new level no one could've seen in us

Yeah

I shattered all the expectations

Ran races took places

I ain't fold inside the street embraces

Since my mama went and tied my laces

Since Lil Justy face was filled with braces

Made it out and never caught no cases

Thankin' God that I been in his graces

Yeah

Look mama we made it

Started from the bottom struggle never hesitated

For real

But Mama we made it

Now we are at the tippy top of life feel like it's meditated

We ain't never need a witness

Put our head down get to business

Y'all be lucky we done learned forgiveness

We done seen to many with they petty ready

And they fetty heavy

But ain't got it like us

Fought it like us

Now I'm screaming from the mountain tops

Mama we made it

Look mama we made it

Hard work and that dedication

Is what got us up out of that basement

Look mama we made it

See mama we made it

You taught me that lesson

I swear that I'm taking it back to the pavement

How we get out of that mud when nobody thought that we could

Look mama we made it

How many times did we fail before we got caught with a win

Look mama we made it

How many blessings we get so we can get back to the world

Look mama we made it

Father God given provision that lead our precision and vision

Look mama we made it we good
