If I Can Make It

[Intro]
(FREAKEY!)
Yeah
Uh-huh, psh
Alright, Ghetto (Let's go)

[Chorus]
If I can make it, nigga, you can make it (No lie)
I know it seem hard, but listen
If I can make it, nigga, you can make it
I'm tellin' you from experience, my boy, yeah
If I can make it, nigga, you can make it
Don't let 'em tell you nothin' different, my nigga
Uh-huh (It's Ghetto)

[Verse]
If I can make it, nigga, you can make it, I'm tellin' you the truth (Uh-huh)
You let somebody tell you anything else, then you a fool (You a fool)
You can afford this shit too (No lie), ain't gotta spend your life in school
I hope you savin' all your loot and educatin' yourself too (Yeah, let's go)
Don't get caught up in the hype (Mm-hmm)
I know you havin' fun, my baby, but that's only for tonight (That's it)
I'm more focused than I ever been (Yeah)
Prada head to toe, the devil knockin', I won't let him in (Nope)
Ricky on and Goyards every color, guess who set the trend? (Ghetto)
Niggas come around and steal the sauce and try to call you twin (Man)
'Til they get set up by a bitch and they be callin' in (Hello?)
I done done it all and I done sacrificed it all to win
Want health and success and that's for all the men, uh-huh (For all the guys)
I done been on them drills and I done been in the church (Let's ball)
Why wouldn't I risk it for these M's and I done risked it for worse? (Answer that)
Feel I'm the one who broke the cycle, it's like my family cursed (Real talk)
Seen my cousin serve my mama, I can't lie, that shit hurt (Aw, man)
To make it out and come back, or never make it, what's worse? (I don't know)
'Cause I done seen some famous rappers with they faces on shirts (RIP)
I'm in New York, I'm at Jue Lan eatin', discussin' a deal (Uh-huh)
That's when I got a phone call, my nigga Tizzle got killed (Tizzle)
I seen my other nigga paperwork, it is what it is (Damn)
I can't fake it with you, dog, you know I'm standin' on biz (You know that)
Get the bag and build the hood up and do it like Nip (Nip)
I got shooters watchin' shooters, makin' sure I don't slip (Let's go)
These niggas livin' for the 'Gram, dog, the streets is a myth (Uh-huh)
You fall in love and get your heart broke, the streets is a bitch (I swear)
The streets handed me the candle, I'm just keepin' it lit (I swear)
The streets ain't goin' nowhere, you better get on your shit (Yeah)

[Chorus]
If I can make it, nigga, you can make it (No lie, I know it seem hard, but listen)
If I can make it, nigga, you can make it (I'm tellin' you from experience, my boy, yeah)
If I can make it, nigga, you can make it (Don't let 'em tell you nothin' different, my nigga)
If I can make it, nigga, you can make it (Just stay prayed up and ten toes down, my nigga, Ghetto)
