If i ain't got nothin I got flow Small carrying a block glow Just keep on grinding dont pay atention to these potholes And you can make a come up Makin moves in the hummer And you bring the children down to disneyworld this summer I dun been to hell and back Thats why i changed my life Been caught up and convicted for the same thing twice Mamma preaching to me To get my mindframe right They found two on my partners' bodies on the same night If I was with them i would be on the same plane I was livin in this dump so i changed my life [Outro:] Look at you day after day I know I Just gotta make it just gotta make it Just to see that smile upon your face I know I Just gotta make it just gotta make it Everything I do I do for you and we Just gotta make it just gotta make it To top of the world me and my girl we Just gotta make it just gotta make it
