Marsha Ambrosius - Make It Through The Night lyrics

[Intro: Joe Budden + Marsha Ambrosius ] This for all my real n***as out there that never got to see another day. All my n***as out there still in the struggle, still tryna make it out, this for y'all If I can make it through the night [Verse 1: Joe Budden] Another collar, another dollar Life's short but we live it cause we gotta Another day, another blessing for a scholar School of Hard Knocks, just reppin' my alma mater That was back when I ain't have sh** God on my shoulder with the Devil on the ad-libs Had to think some decisions through When times hard, who the f** you gon' listen to? Toilet by the bunk, put you in a different mood Locked up, Thanksgiving eatin' prison food Back on the ropes, won't see a n***a budge No bail for a felon so you gotta see the judge They used to call us all lost n***as Had the same dreams to make it 'til we lost n***as Some was married to the game, I divorced quicker But I can't judge, one day I'll see the lord with you [Hook: Marsha Ambrosius] I'm feeling like I have my fate on the line Heading closer to the exit sign If I can make it through the night This game ain't ever been no friend of mine I'm just tryna make most of my life, my life If I can make it through the night If I can make it through the night If I can make it through the night [Verse 2: Jadakiss] Yeah I'm just tryna make it (HA-HAAAAAAAAH) Note from the marshall, you can't even borrow And it's sad cause they comin' with the padlock tomorrow And for you to blame the world, gotta blame yourself too Cause everybody feel you but nobody can help you Bad thought get in your head, then you loop it Stress build up then you do somethin' stupid Put a mountain in front of you, you just try to move it Count on one hand the couple n***as you cool with Either they ain't pickin' up or they ain't got it You learn the hard way when your actions are idiotic Product of your environment, and you're the product Home invasions, n***as is gettin' tied up This is goin' through your head while you're in the bullpen Backed into the spot but you should've pulled in First n***a move and you're on him But you're really prayin' for a R&R in the morning [Hook: Marsha Ambrosius] I'm feeling like I have my fate on the line Heading closer to the exit sign If I can make it through the night This game ain't ever been no friend of mine I'm just tryna make most of my life, my life If I can make it through the night If I can make it through the night [Verse 3: Joe Budden] They say tomorrow ain't promised, most nights I ain't want it to be Nah a n***a couldn't front it to me Too many nights for dinner I just ate an uncomfortable sleep Had to open up the oven for heat I was a born loser, thoughts of a sinner Only made it out cause I fought like a winner Threats all my life, I'm good, was all talk though d**h around the corner, all you gotta do is walk slow Land of the haves and have-nots Gun tucked, better to have it than to not Try to make it out but crabs are in the lot That'll plot, so if you take a stab you'll get shot Look, I'm just proof a couple n***as said a prayer for me Wasn't fair for me, God had to bear with me Nothin' to live for, didn't have a care with me Suicidal, had my mama sheddin' tears for me Cause my son might need me Life is hard but dyin' is easy I thank God every day that I awake I avoid another funeral, a homi' or a wake I escape from n***as that lived through it Better days ahead, we just gotta get to it [Hook: Marsha Ambrosius] I'm feeling like I have my fate on the line Heading closer to the exit sign If I can make it through the night This game ain't ever been no friend of mine I'm just tryna make most of my life, my life If I can make it through the night If I can make it through the night
