This for everybody surviving,
And all they money spent.
And I can't even pay my rent.
Hopin' one day I'm well off.
Or at least just feed my babies,
Cops still in my rear view.
And I ain't broke no laws...
But I guess my skin's in clear view.
Maybe a lil' mo' patience.
'Cause our father's gone and this slave mentality's still keepin' us naked.
You see crackheads on every corner,
Pills, drink... marijuana.
Pick jail, and in the coffin,
'Cause that's what we see often.
And I know sometimes that you just wanna give up,
But boy just keep yo' head up...
God said that we gon' make it bruh!
I know we won't have to cry no more.
That's why we, we, we gone make it yeah!
We, we, we gone make it yeah!
That's why we, we, we gone make it yeah.
Growing up and he's smart,
How you gon' raise him into a man?
You see the pain when he ask about where his daddy at.
You'll go hungry to make sure he got clothes on his back!
He hears you when you pray,
You can give Him everything.
See other kids and it kills you.
'Cause they dads off in they homes,
And yours ain't even nowhere near you!
I understand, 'cause I been it.
It's real to me, 'cause I lived it!
Long as I breath my son won't know that feeling!
But the Lord's my inspiration.
I know that we gone make it.
But the Lord's my inspiration.
I know that we gone make it.
I know we won't have to cry no more.
That's why we, we, we gone make it yeah!
We, we, we gone make it yeah!
That's why we, we, we gone make it yeah
