Ivan B - Make It Ourselves lyrics

[Intro] This is your start to fame...do it, do it, do it [Chorus] We got young blood Can't destroy us We make our own luck in this world We got young blood Can't destroy us We make our own luck in this world [Hook] But in dark times, when we close our eyes It's a nightmare, it's a nightmare When the sun don't shine, we lose our minds But I swear, we can get there [Chorus] [Verse 1: Ivan B] The look on my counselor's face When I told her I wanted to rap Told me to "drop it with this nonsense" Or just watch my grades collapse So either do what I love Or just hate how I'm livin' Damn, it's a hard decision Say goodbye to 9 to 5s But working 5 to 9, I'm driven Reminiscent of the times Writing raps in mathematics Thought I had it all down Like this one girl on my mattress Catchin' feelings cuz my music And all my music comes from you But feelings only last a second I got time for just a few And she says "You're always workin' B This seems to me You don't want this to work How do you expect for me To let this be, I'm not one of them skirts" But that's the thing, it's time to focus on myself Cuz nothing's ever handed Gotta make that sh** yourself Like [Hook] But in dark times, when we close our eyes It's a nightmare, it's a nightmare When the sun don't shine, we lose our minds But I swear, we can get there [Chorus] [Verse 2: Hendersin] Yeah, k** it, and they feel it Cuz I'm still keeping that grind alive Make 30 grand in two months But I still work a 9 to 5 Cuz nothing's really promised n***a I'm just being honest wit'cha Can't complain, I stand for change Like I got Obama's picture Had the vision Always knew that I could see far Almost worked myself to d**h I just got out that ER But I'm okay I'm still working every night I promise That Imma be up in this game Until I'm 90, Betty White And they know That I had to link with Ivan Yeah, we thrivin, they survivin' Yeah we driven, don't mean driving And I said f** your recipe Knew this was my destiny Every word I say Nick Lachey I give them all what's left of me, I'm gone [Hook] [Chorus]
