Make It Thru The Night Lyrics - Joe Budden

This for all my real niggas out there 

That never got to see another day 

All my niggas out there still in the struggle 

And still tryna make it out 

This for y'all 

If I can make it through the night 

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 shit 

God on my shoulder with the Devil on the ad-libs 

Had to think some decisions through 

When times hard, who the fuck 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 nigga budge 

No bail for a felon so you gotta see the judge 

They used to call us all lost niggas 

Had the same dreams to make it 'til we lost niggas 

Some was married to the game, I divorced quicker 

But I can't judge, one day I'll see the lord with you 

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 

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 niggas 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, niggas 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 nigga move and you're on him 

But you're really prayin' for a ROR in the morning 

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 

They say tomorrow ain't promised, most nights I ain't want it to be 

Nah a nigga 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 

Death 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 niggas 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 niggas that lived through it 

Better days ahead, we just gotta get to it 

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
