How You Made It?

[Verse 1]
Okay, my crew filled with legends
This feel like Cash Money Records
If they don't kill me for preaching
Then, I'll be rappin' forever
Rappin' at age 11, they told me "Cooper, you can't"
And that's the reason why I made it
That's just fuel in the tank
Now I'm pushing the label and doing numbers with zeros
It's a crazy feeling when you start becoming your heroes
Making music like it's movies, they call me "young De Niro"
And I'm rolling with angels, so all the evil I fear no

[Chorus]
Yeah, they like, "Coop, how you made it?" (How you made it?)
Yuh, really tho I started in the basement (Got started)
No equipment, learned to fake it til' I make it
I just took the situation then I flipped it into greatness (Sheesh)
Yuh, they like, "Coop, how you made it?" (Tell me how you made it)
I just left no room for hesitation (No hesitation)
At the table, didn't need a reservation
Didn't need a reservation

[Verse 2]
I swear this music is therapeutic
I write about my past so all my fans can share my future
And first they would laugh, always tell me I'm too dramatic
Now when I drop, everybody flip like they do gymnastics
A monster, I'm too Jurassic, I promise you, Coop's the baddest
Flyer than Dukes of Hazard, my life's like a Goonie's actor
I flee from the booty trappers, follow the Truest Master
Yeshua, that's the Lion of Judah
Keep the Witch and the Wardrobe
Trumpet beats, I destroy those
Tappin' in, like it's Morse code
Will I make it? Man, Lord knows
Opening every door close
Alright, they say I'm timeless, only time can tell
Feel like I've clocked in more hours than Father Time himself
They like, "How you rhyme so well?" Well, lemme write the tale
Often times I wouldn't pay attention in my class, I was by myself
Writing fairy tales, hiding very well
Now they say my lyrics are providing help, they inspire health, yeah

[Chorus]
Yeah, they like, "Coop, how you made it?" (How you made it?)
Yuh, really tho I started in the basement (Got started)
No equipment, learned to fake it til' I make it
I just took the situation and then I flipped it into greatness (Sheesh)
Yuh, they like, "Coop, how you made it?" (Tell me how you made it)
I just left no room for hesitation (No hesitation)
At the table, didn't need a reservation
Didn't need a reservation (Yuh, yuh, yuh-yuh-yuh)

Ooh, they like, "Coop, how you made it?" (Yeah)
Yuh, really tho I started in the basement
No equipment, learned to fake it til' I make it
I just took the situation and then I flipped it into greatness, oh my goodness!
Ah, they like, "Coop, how you made it?"
I just left no room for hesitation
At the table, didn't need a reservation
I don't, I don't need no reservation, yeah
Ha-ha
