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 itThat's how I operate , (momma, I made it) Ghetto like the grease when you getting your hair braided Sweeter than ya sister Kool-Aid is Hooray!! It's the underdog, now my feetOn the desk, I'm the Presidential favorite Can't believe I got away withMy earliest stages to being on stages Having my way with the world, congratulations!!Your baby boy's a made man, I'ma hold the fam down least three generationsI'm talking when spaceships are around and ya great-great grandsReminiscing '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 celebrationToast to the most beautiful girl in the worldMy inspiration, thanks for the information [Chorus] Momma, I made itMomma, I made it [Verse 2] Out in BK whereIt 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 billNow our crib dark as a basement Had to lock up the phone when you wasn't homeWe 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 everythingLong as Saturdays you had the Commodores playing The expression on your face was pricelessStill with me to this day, baby girl, I won't erase itI go to my grave with the memory of the sacrifice you madeYou deserve a standing ovation [Chorus] Momma, I made itMomma, I made it [Verse 3] Now your lil' misfit make sure every day is Christmas, write out your wish list6's, wrist is glistening, you don't even like jewels But you could get missing anywhere you like toWhere the water's light blue, anything you orderSign it to your nice room, leave an extra tip, maBe extra nice to 'emCEO of Carter Foundation, wow! I know pop looking downI know Colleek somewhere up in the clouds likeGo get 'em Grandma, make me proud Didn't have a man in the house so you made oneSo I act like your husband and I'm only your sonI told you one day I'd get you a homeI didn't know it could possibly be in Rome Told me don't wait on nobody, get your ownSo with me, myself, and my microphone, I made it [Chorus] Momma, I made itMomma, I made it
