[Intro: Aretha Franklin]
Trey, this is Aretha believe in yo self
Believe in yo dreams, don't let no
Body tell you what you can't do
Cause you gonna make yeah...
[Verse 1: Trey Songz]
This song is for my shawty
That's goin through it
You gotta know you can do it
And this song is for my homies
Just hold it down cause
Good from the ground up
Cause I tried suit with a smile
It ain't fit me
And I played the blocked for a while
Them people tried to k** me
No matter what you go through
I know thing is true
Keep believin' and you'll
[Hook: 2x]
Cause when it's feelin like you
Just can't take it
And no matter what you do
Ooh they keep hatin
Lift your head up to the sky
Tell yourself I
Just gotta make it (aah)
Just gotta make it
[Verse 2: Trey Songz]
Shawty I know you bout to have yo baby
Before you give up just take a second lady
Look in the mirror your reflection baby
It's perfection baby
Don't neglect it baby
My homie I know you been nicklin and dimin
Can't get enough hours at yo job to get your time in
I know them streets lokin good
And that money lookin long
Gone and get how you live who am I to tell you wrong
Cause I tried suit with a smile
It ain't fit me
And I played the blocked for a while
Them people tried to get me
No matter what you go through
I know thing is true
Keep believin' and you'll
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Juvenile]
Man I 'dun slept in hallways
But i didn't cry through
Was advanced for my learning
But was all caught in the cycle
What i wore in the daytime
Is what i wore for my night-clothes
Concern about a mil
When i should have been shutin' my eyes close
Know about the song rappers real and the pot calls
?
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
