Hook
The blacker the berry
The sweeter the juice (x8)
Bridge
She said you gotta make it out
Uh
You gotta make a way
You gotta make a sound
You gotta make a wave
You gotta make a route
You gotta pave the lane
She said you got the paper route
Uh you gotta save the day
Verse
I gotta come save the day
I came from the gutter
I ain’t have no faith
Way back
When b*tches would throw me away
Way before
I had the money and fame
Way before
Momma had copped me the Js
This sh*t was insane
But I ain’t lose grace
I knew that god would come get me some day
It’s all bout my blesssings
And giving him thanks
Keeping it loaded I can’t draw no blanks
My momma made sure to instill
My self worth
She raised her a fighter
I been through the worse
But I don’t regret it
You live and you learn
26 penn
Was the crib that burnt
I gotta be straight
Always gotta be firm
You owe me
I need it
A ni**a big worm
When I went to bed
Granny sang me These words

Bridge
She said you gotta make it out
Uh
You gotta make a way
You gotta make a sound
You gotta make a wave
You gotta make a route
You gotta pave the lane
She said you got the paper route
Uh you gotta save the day
