Текст Add-2 — We Gon Make It

We’re gonna make it this time
We gon’ make it, yea we gon’ make it
I can’t stand to lose you
We gon’ make it, yea we gon’ make it
We’re gonna make it this time
We gon’ make it, yea we gon’ make it
Don’t let the past confuse you
We gon’ make it, yea we gon’ make it

Who would’ve thought we would’ve made it this far?
Our teachers thought we’d end up behind bars
My father taught me to finish things I start
When you even the odds you always end up in stars

Right under the moonlight bright, it’s sunshine
Mama’s son, this little light of mine, make ‘em blind
With every breath to death, either hear what I say

Pressin’ rewind with these rhymes, niggas know I don’t play
Gotta do it to death, gotta give it my best
The stress on my chest like Superman with the S
I don’t change in the booth, you Clark Kent on these songs
Where I’m from we don’t live that long

So if you listenin’ know how critical your position is
Tryna make the cut, know how deep the incision is
Had to take a chance when there ain’t nobody givin’ in
Not to show you what’s possible but to show you what’s imminent
And that’s the difference

We’re gonna make it this time
We gon’ make it, yea we gon’ make it
I can’t stand to lose you
We gon’ make it, yea we gon’ make it
We’re gonna make it this time
We gon’ make it, yea we gon’ make it
Don’t let the past confuse you
We gon’ make it, yea we gon’ make it

Mama said to clean the house, don’t make her say it again
When I was ten, reminiscin’, let me live it again
Moment in time, rhyme when I listen to all these songs
Close my eyes, it’s a polaroid in audio form

Now bring it back, sweet memories back, when big mama was livin’
Wearin’ her slippers sayin’ «Gimme a kiss»
Somethin’ I miss, shit that’s gone in the distance wishin’ it didn’t
But it did, to the day that you die, you gotta live

So live to the fullest, a bullet had took the life of my neighbour
Miss Perry, tellin’ us Mickey died, I cried a million tears
My shirt covered my eyes, look to the sky he a little older than I
And a few days before on his porch, we sittin’ there

Told him I liked his Jordans, he said «I’ll get you a pair»
That was somethin’ I admired, I told him I’d wanna be him
Now the last time I seen him was the last time I seen him
Rest in peace Mickey

We’re gonna make it this time
We gon’ make it, yea we gon’ make it
I can’t stand to lose you
We gon’ make it, yea we gon’ make it
We’re gonna make it this time
We gon’ make it, yea we gon’ make it
Don’t let the past confuse you
We gon’ make it, yea we gon’ make it

I learned progression as an adolescent
Life taught me more lessons than they could’ve in class
I watched a wino buy a fifth, sip then fill up the flask
My friend just bought a dutch, split it, filled it with hash

Pimps pulled up on the Ave, Cadillac Eldorado
Hoes minus the stretch marks could’ve been models
In they prime, I’d be lyin’ if I said I’d never thought about buyin’
Peaches for a night, she was light skin

Like she could’ve been kin of Lisa Bonet
Baby doll hair, real cute in the face
The same city that drove me insane somehow saved me
With hoop dreams we sorta like Arthur Agee

In the alley playin’ ball where niggas don’t call calls
Watchin’ the playground legends later fall off
Fall from grace, son don’t wonder why we say it
Don’t know how but we’ll make it, we gon’ make it
We’re gonna make it this time

We gon’ make it, yea we gon’ make it
I can’t stand to lose you
We gon’ make it, yea we gon’ make it
We’re gonna make it this time
We gon’ make it, yea we gon’ make it
Don’t let the past confuse you
We gon’ make it, yea we gon’ make it
