Duke - Make It Big lyrics

[Hook] Started as a young'un trying to play it right Up early, up late every day and night Wasn't easy for my parents to raise the kid So I'm focused on my goals, trying to make it big Now things looking bright, not cloud in sight Everything I write, is about my life I struggled, I hustled, and I stayed and lived Stronger than ever yeah I'm a make it big [Verse 1] Coming up I never saw the opportunity I'm given Cause every day you hear about another k**ing Gotta make a difference for the city I live in So my kids could have a better living In the next generation, with no reservation See something wrong, naturally you want to change it I know I could make it 200 years ago, who would've thought a black man would be leading this nation Whatever you're facing, realize it's basic Even you're low, kind of how this ba** is Use what you know, see you dreams and chase it Stay strong, hard as rock and never cave in Even in the deepest hole you can climb out When it's time to get clutch don't your mind cloud Clock's ticking down and you need time out Last play you gotta make it or your dreams die out [Hook] [Verse 2] Making it, I swear that's everybody dream And failure is something everybody seen One man at the top, they can't make everybody king So I'm focused on the cream, don't let anybody between Like a woman that's celibate Been making music, now I'm just trying to sell a bit With the wind behind my back like a sailing ship Bigger than titanic so I wonder will sail or sink Scratch that, that's what a failure thinks That'll put you on ice like skating rinks I don't need a boat; I know I'm a sail Put me in the store; I know I'm a sell I'm trying to get the cheese; I flow and spit with ease So gifted he's, like Christmas trees So much presence, you ain't having it I ball, abracadabra, now that's a Magic trick [Hook] [Eric Thomas Interlude] And when you to the point Where all you want to do is be successful as bad as you want to breath Then you will be successful The most important thing is this To be able at any moment To sacrifice who you are for what you will become [Verse 3] Looking at the finish, gotta push it to the limit I just keep on winning I ain't worried about who isn't Like a urinal I piss them, off brother listen I've elevated and risen, like eagles, blue jays, and pigeons I'm trying to move paper; you're sitting getting the mail? Trying to travel Europe; I'm on a mission to Wales They mention wishing I fail, I catch them wishing by wells They still ain't listen but well, I'll go far like Wells Well, that mean I'm banking, what you thinking I'm debating, they creating the hating and the faking I'm taking and making the best of every situation These rappers sweet and frosted, no wonder why they flaking
