I Know I Can Make It

You better watch your step if you want to go to Heaven

[Chorus]
Sometimes I just wish that I could fly away
I'm strugglin' but I'm searchin' for a better day
I know I can make it
I know I can make it
Sometimes I just wish that I could fly away
I'm strugglin' but I'm searchin' for a better day
I know I can make it
I know I can make it

[Verse 1: E-40]
Uhh
When I was a boy, I had to be a man
When they told me "I couldn't", I told 'em that "I can"
It's God's plan, the way that things done panned out
I got my life off the stress, so ain't no need to pout
The choir sing and the missionaries shout
But, when that church organ plays, that's when my tears get to pourin' out
Just a kid from the soil, tryna prosper
Tired of hearing gunshots and sirens and helicopters
Grew up around killers, villains and robbers
Drug dealers, con artists and slick talkers
They say that if you got talent, you 'posed to use it
All my life, I've been around music
Played the drums in elementary, all the way through twelfth
Start rappin' in seventh grade, now I got records on the shelf
Hard work, dedication, intestinal fortitude
A real hustler out the hood, determined to be that dude
We didn't get everything in our Christmas bag that other kids had
But whatever we had, we was glad
Uhh, God is good and I'm okay with being underrated
No matter what they think about me, man I made it

[Chorus]
Sometimes I just wish that I could fly away
I'm strugglin' but I'm searchin' for a better day
I know I can make it
I know I can make it
Sometimes I just wish that I could fly away
I'm strugglin' but I'm searchin' for a better day
I know I can make it
I know I can make it

[Verse 2: Suga-T]
I'm Suga-T, I've been often underestimated
A chick in the game, gotta carry her weight, or she'll get slated
I was a teen mom, an ugly duckling grown a swan
But to this very day, I remain a hip hop mom (Yeah)
Didn't always make the best choices, but that's okay
I still hold the title "The Queen of The Bay"
It was only God's grace that I'm still alive (Still alive)
'Cause to be a boss lady you gotta pay the price (Pay the price)
I used to be quick to pull a lick, quick to check a trick
I messed around and found out that rappin' was one of my gifts (Uh huh)
Legendary, I make history still
I could take the pimpstress route, or I could pay my own bills (Yeah)
I know that I can make it, even though they're player hatin' (Uh huh)
Eventually, they'll be congratulatin', uh huh
Cash rules everything around but game is priceless
And when we die, we better hope we make the right list

[Chorus]
Sometimes I just wish that I could fly away
I'm strugglin' but I'm searchin' for a better day
I know I can make it
I know I can make it
Sometimes I just wish that I could fly away
I'm strugglin' but I'm searchin' for a better day
I know I can make it
I know I can make it

[Verse 3: Agerman]
A-Agerman
I know I can make it through these hard times
I fall on my knees and cry after callin' a friend of mine
He's [?] through the storm and the rain
As them tears drop down your cheek he'll ease the pain
My God, [?]
But joy comes in the morning, you gonna make it through the night
When it's dark in your life, look towards God, 'cause He's the light that shines bright
[?] continue to fight the good fight
'Cause faith [?], the things we hope for
When hard times come, that's God knockin' at your door
Reminding us all to fall on our knees and pray
To give us hope, to let us know there's a brighter day
Sunshine after the rain
Joy comin' right after the pain
It's Agerman, E-40 and Suga-T, y'all know
We all go through hard times
But we gonna make it out fo' sho'

[Chorus]
Sometimes I just wish that I could fly away
I'm strugglin' but I'm searchin' for a better day
I know I can make it
I know I can make it
Sometimes I just wish that I could fly away
I'm strugglin' but I'm searchin' for a better day
I know I can make it
I know I can make it

[Post-Chorus]
If problems never came our way (Came our way)
And only sunshine and never rain (Rain)
How would you know what it means to pray (Means to pray)
If problems never came our way (Came our way)
And in your heart there is no song (There is no song)
And if your brother has done you wrong (Brother has done you wrong)
Call on the Father and don't delay (Don't delay)
Just get on your knees and pray
If problems never came our way (Came our way)
And only sunshine and never rain (Rain)
How would you know what it means to pray (Means to pray)
And in your heart there is no song (There is no song)
And if your brother has done you wrong (Brother has done you wrong)
Call on the Father and don't delay (Don't delay)
Just get on your knees and pray
Get on your knees and pray
