(Intro)
Mic Check
Is the mic on?
OK
Let me talk to 'em
(Verse)
This verse here about to be my realest
I swear man, I ain't tryna be in my feelings
But when I look back this life ain't been easy
Like Mike Jackson, against the odds I Beat It
I'm from the ghetto, I ain't even meant to be here
I had meningitis, and the doctor said I won't be here
But I'm still standing, and I thank the man upstairs
Like Bon Jovi, I was living on prayer
Grandma told me don't ever lose your faith
I promise son, you gonna win this race
I know they say, life is a Roller Coaster
But what doesn't kill you can only make you stronger
(prechorus)
When the sun comes, and dark goes away
And night turns into brighter days
Sitting here lookin' through my window-pain
And I can still see the scars that remain
(Chorus)
Oh man, I made it
Thank God, I made it
Against the odds, I made it
Against the odds, I made it
(Verse)
And now we getting so famous
And I thank God, against the will of my haters
They told me, I ain't never gonna be nothin'
I forgave 'em and prayed for 'em,, coz I don't hold grudges
I grabbed a pen, grabbed a pad and put it in writing
So they understand and comprehend it's part of my God's plan
Tryna bring me down break me down, ima keep smiling
Like skyscrapers' elevators, Ima keep rising
I'm competent I'm passionate, you see it in my eyes man
I live for this I'd die for this, this my life man
I do this for my brothers thats doing time man
So they know it's never too late to change your life man
(prechorus)
When the sun comes, and dark goes away
And night turns into brighter days
Sitting here lookin' through my window-pain
And I can still see the scars that remain
(Chorus)
Oh man, I made it
Thank God, I made it
Against the odds, I made it
Against the odds, I made it
(Outro)
Yeah
They say destiny's not a matter of chance
But a matter of choice
The choices you make in life
Will determine where you gonna be in life
When I was on that hospital bed
I felt like
It was the end of everything man
But I couldn't let that break me down
You can't let the lil' obstacles
The lil' trials and tribulations bring you down
You have to keep fighting
You have to battle till the end
You know what, my grandma told me to never be a failure
So I never accept to fail
Yeah
Against the odds I made it
Against the odds we made it
We made it
We made it
