I Made It

[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 it

That'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 feet

On the desk, I'm the Presidential favorite

Can't believe I got away with

My 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 generations

I'm talking when spaceships are around and ya great-great grands

Reminiscing '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 celebration

Toast to the most beautiful girl in the world

My inspiration, thanks for the information

[Chorus]

Momma, I made it

Momma, I made it

[Verse 2]

Out in BK where

It 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 bill

Now our crib dark as a basement

Had to lock up the phone when you wasn't home

We 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 everything

Long as Saturdays you had the Commodores playing

The expression on your face was priceless

Still with me to this day, baby girl, I won't erase it

I go to my grave with the memory of the sacrifice you made

You deserve a standing ovation

[Chorus]

Momma, I made it

Momma, I made it

[Verse 3]

Now your lil' misfit make sure every day is Christmas, write out your wish list

6's, wrist is glistening, you don't even like jewels

But you could get missing anywhere you like to

Where the water's light blue, anything you order

Sign it to your nice room, leave an extra tip, ma

Be extra nice to 'em

CEO of Carter Foundation, wow!

I know pop looking down

I know Colleek somewhere up in the clouds like

Go get 'em Grandma, make me proud

Didn't have a man in the house so you made one

So I act like your husband and I'm only your son

I told you one day I'd get you a home

I didn't know it could possibly be in Rome

Told me don't wait on nobody, get your own

So with me, myself, and my microphone, I made it

[Chorus]

Momma, I made it

Momma, I made it
