[LL Cool J]
|
Uhh uhh
|
I was at rock bottom, my whole life was mo' problems
|
Reincarnation of a slave pickin cotton
|
Stress beamin down like the sun I felt rotten
|
to the core, was at war, cause the enemy is plottin
|
I hear him knockin, sayin that we got him
|
Hot like solar, he wanna burn my soul up
|
World on my shoulders but I roll back ya boulders
|
Words have a funny way of comin back to scold ya
|
Watch what come out of your mouth, you crack a molar
|
I tried to told ya, hehehe
|
Enemies gunnin, true believers ain't runnin
|
or duckin, we ain't scared of nuttin, ya feel me?
|
They wanna test me and press my buttons, oh really?
|
Allow Uncle L to hip y'all to somethin, uhh, uhh
|
Yeah, uhh, check it out
|
There's a living power, make a man out a coward
|
Rebuild your strength like the new Trade Towers
|
I thought that I was over, my life got devoured
|
Now I'm on top and I pray for all the doubters
|
Time to shout it, sing it louder
|
|
[Chorus: Mary Mary]
|
Yeahhhhh, we're gonna make it
|
We're gonna make it (we're gonna make it)
|
Thank God we made it (yeahhhhhhhhhhh)
|
And I mean it, yeah yeah, oh yeah
|
|
[LL Cool J]
|
I was feelin like my whole world was spinnin and spillin
|
on the ground and that God wasn't willin
|
It seemed like the only ones ballin was the villains
|
Dollar signs in they eyes, lyin to our chill'un
|
I wanna kill 'em, I'd rather God hit 'em
|
They sellin venom and we buyin it like denim
|
These world wide webs they weave, we caught in 'em
|
Old folks is dyin and CEO's skimmin
|
The bat's in your hand and this is the 9th inning
|
Keep your eyes on the ball when you swingin
|
Don't be confused, don't be fooled by the wind-up
|
Start switchin your position, make your mind up
|
Pull your bootstraps tight, get your grind up
|
Get your life lined up before time's up
|
Yo, yo, you know what?
|
Take ten percent of that, dough you tryin to stack
|
Send it up to God, I guarantee he send it back
|
Multiply it by a hundred times, y'all remember that
|
That's just a little jewel to get the monkey off your back
|
Uhh, yeah, sing it out now
|
|
[Chorus w/ ad libs]
|
|
[LL Cool J]
|
In the darkest valley, through the loneliest alley
|
Never give up, press on through the storm
|
Weepin man fall, for the night seem long
|
But if you stand strong joy come within the morn'
|
And it goes, on and on and on and on and on and-ah
|
I know it feels like your back's to the wall
|
Who's sittin in the crib, and you don't know who to call
|
(Jesus!) Hangin on a tight rope, fingers slippin off
|
But you ain't by yourself dawg, we all been lost
|
Stay on your course, carry your cross
|
Ain't no stoppin, got to keep it poppin
|
You want it, you can get it, believe me the king did it
|
Nothin gonna hold you back, there's no limits
|
I'm sent to bring truth to rap, not gimmicks
|
And I'm not finished, man listen
|
Here's the moral to the thesis, y'all cats need Jesus
|
He put your life back together, pick up the pieces
|
Word to the masses, I heard God asked us
|
for less fake rappers, and more real pastors
|
Uh-huh, uh-huh, so hereafter
|
|
[Chorus - 2X w/ ad libs]
|
|
[Mary Mary (LL)]
|
We made it, we made it
|
Through the storm and rain, yeahhhhhhh
|
You can make it, yes you can
|
You can make it, you got me
|
I know you can, I know you can
|
I know you can, yessssss, yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
|
I do believe we'll make it (Hallelujah!)
|
(Glory! Glory!)
