Make It Out Lyrics - Singles - D-mac

(Talking) Uh..Uh.. This for my hood niggas whats good with you? 

Verse 1: 

Grew up a dreamer 

Eager to make believers of doubters and fill arenas with shouters, rooting me on 

Lighting herb, reciting words to my songs 

The ink spills lyrics to heal those who were born 

Like me, who look up to the stars in the middle of the night 

Mind cloudy as the skies trying to figure out their life 

What was once looking bright's now dim 

Your odds of making it's slim 

You're looking all in the mirror like who is him? 

Uncertainty all over your face, what a disgrace! 

What happened to your faith?, nigga stand up straight 

Hard times make you who you are man up, ay 

If life knocks you down seven times, stand up eight 

And move forward, towards them goals you jotted and plotted 

Taped to the wall and told yourself "you got it" you got it 

Listen I'm reminiscing on the position that I was just in 

Visions balling like a piston's my mission 

Pre Hook: 

I'm trying to make it out, ay yo I gotta make it out 

Hook: 

So we grind all day, hustle all night 

Dusk till dawn getting my money right 

A nigga trying to get paid, fuck being broke 

Get up go and get it yeah thats all I know 

I'm just trying to make it out, Ay yo i gotta make it out, without a doubt 

Verse 2: 

Imma keep working for better, as long as I'm able 

Fuck your thought's about me less you putting food on my table 

Nigga you don't pay these bills, under my nails is dirt 

Can't clean em & cant chill as long as my mama's at work 

Wanna see her quit her job, and pull off 

In her dream car and park it at her dream house, with three accounts 

One for mortgage and bills, one when she wants to chill 

And one for a rainy day I pray she never faces 

Cuz Lord knows we've had storms, 40 days and 40 nights and had floods 

Did things for money only God could judge 

Nigga, hand me them scissors and pass me that beanie 

I'm bout to cut three holes in it yo so no one sees me 

And jack a nigga for his jesus piece father forgive me 

Just reacted to mama's tears but God you know the real me 

But first thing in the morning, this chain getting dropped 

And imma hit Quan phone and we gon' set up shop 

Prehook: 

To make it out, cuz we just trying to make it out, without a doubt 

Hook: 

Grind all day, hustle all night 

On my grind getting my money right 

Man I'm trying to get paid, fuck being broke 

Get up go and get it yeah thats all I know 

I'm just trying to make it out, Ay man I gotta make it out, without a doubt 

Verse 3: 

Your honor before you bang that gavel may I ask why you're so quick 

To try and give us niggas numbers like an unattractive bitch? 

Sentence us to ten ten years and then go home like it aint shit? 

Cuz we was doing shit for dough to come up with the rent? 

Fucking prick! I keep my distance 

I'm smart enough to know that I fit the description 

To be another statistic, raised in living conditions where the crime pays 

They're even doing scams nowadays 

And who am I to feel a way or say a thing about it? 

We're chasing money nigga we cant go a day without it 

I got some issues mama told me I should pray about it 

Cuz she don't want me in them streets she hopes I stay up out em 

But ay Im knee deep trying to make a way up out em 

It's either hustle or be hungry aint no way around it 

See people only see the shine they don't ever see the grind 

Before you ever make a dime 

You gotta put it time 

Pre Hook: 

To make it out, cuz boy we trying to make it out 

Ay what you bout? 

Hook: 

Grind all day, hustle all night 

Dusk till dawn getting my money right 

A nigga trying to get paid, fuck being broke 

Get up go and get it yeah thats all I know 

I'm just trying to make it out, Ay i just gotta make it out, without a doubt 

(Outro: D-Mac) 

I gotta make it out, Man I'm trying to make it out 

Man I wanna make it out, Man I gotta make it out 

This for my hood niggas, what's good with you? 

By any means nigga, gotta make it out 

Aint nothing coming to a sleeper but a good night's rest 

I'm up early in the morning trying to get that check you heard 

Trying to make it out, Ay yo I gotta make it out 

(Talking: Jermaine Dupri) 

If you got a idea and you wanna be a rapper or you wanna be a singer 

Or you wanna do something in life, you cant let no one tell you that you cant do it 

You just gotta keep doing it, and keep doing it 

And, it's good to have someone behind you 

So if its not your parents, get a friend 

And you know yawl be down and yall do what you gotta do 

And don't look behind you, just keep doing what you gotta do 

And it'll come to you one of these days
