[Intro x2]
We can make it
We can make it
We can make it just to make it
We can make it
[Verse 1]
I still remember all the promises I made
Get all of the money so that you can quit one day
Just to say you actually did it
And I'll still buy you the things that you requested
Girl I'm with it, I'll remember that I said it, aw yeah
You want a new car and a nice house
And you wanna go to parties with a new blouse
I can make it happen, I just gotta put the work in
Doing what I love while all the other kids is workin'
The struggle is beautiful, I know what it's like
Stretching clothes out for next year because they're getting too tight
Or going to a Laundromat to spend the whole night
But still give change to the homeless because you feel like it's right
Using coupons at drive-thrus because your job hasn't paid you
They haven't put the check in and you wanna know the issue
Cuz you have to pay the bills, they gonna turn the lights off
Reading books by windowsills is like aiming with the sights off
Yeah
[Verse 2]
You want the newest shoes
The latest point of views
You want the first cla** seating
With the five star eating
Cuz this is what it takes
This the crew's big break
I've put my foot into the door
It's too late to make mistakes
Cuz we going to the city
Where the gra** is green, girls' pretty
Life is short, time is money
Opportunities are plenty
I'm just not sure if I'm ready, that's the real truth
Whole truth, nothing but the truth
And lately life is getting really hard to believe
I look up to my friends, but they all look up to me
And to top it all off, it's getting harder to think
Sometimes I just wanna sleep cuz I get close to the dream
Do you remember our discussions late at night on the phone?
When we talked after school when we should've went home?
I would tell you 'bout my visions and how much I wanna make it
Now I'm closer to that dream
So close I can taste it
You would always go one about how you'd be my biggest fan
You would go to all my concerts
Be the groupie in the van
But now we don't even talk, and I wanna go back
And if I forget your name, I would hope you understand when I
