Make It Big

[Hook]
Started as a young’un trying to play it right
Up early, up late every day and night
Wasn’t easy for my parents to raise the kid
So I’m focused on my goals, trying to make it big
Now things looking bright, not cloud in sight
Everything I write, is about my life
I struggled, I hustled, and I stayed and lived
Stronger than ever yeah I’m a make it big

[Verse 1]
Coming up I never saw the opportunity I’m given
Cause every day you hear about another killing
Gotta make a difference for the city I live in
So my kids could have a better living
In the next generation, with no reservation
See something wrong, naturally you want to change it
I know I could make it
200 years ago, who would’ve thought a black man would be leading this nation
Whatever you’re facing, realize it’s basic
Even you’re low, kind of how this bass is
Use what you know, see you dreams and chase it
Stay strong, hard as rock and never cave in
Even in the deepest hole you can climb out
When it’s time to get clutch don’t your mind cloud
Clock’s ticking down and you need time out
Last play you gotta make it or your dreams die out

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
Making it, I swear that’s everybody dream
And failure is something everybody seen
One man at the top, they can’t make everybody king
So I’m focused on the cream, don’t let anybody between
Like a woman that’s celibate
Been making music, now I’m just trying to sell a bit
With the wind behind my back like a sailing ship
Bigger than titanic so I wonder will sail or sink
Scratch that, that’s what a failure thinks
That’ll put you on ice like skating rinks
I don’t need a boat; I know I’m a sail
Put me in the store; I know I’m a sell
I’m trying to get the cheese; I flow and spit with ease
So gifted he’s, like Christmas trees
So much presence, you ain't having it
I ball, abracadabra, now that’s a Magic trick

[Hook]

[Eric Thomas Interlude]
And when you to the point
Where all you want to do is be successful as bad as you want to breath
Then you will be successful
The most important thing is this
To be able at any moment
To sacrifice who you are for what you will become

[Verse 3]
Looking at the finish, gotta push it to the limit
I just keep on winning I ain't worried about who isn’t
Like a urinal I piss them, off brother listen
I’ve elevated and risen, like eagles, blue jays, and pigeons
I’m trying to move paper; you’re sitting getting the mail?
Trying to travel Europe; I’m on a mission to Wales
They mention wishing I fail, I catch them wishing by wells
They still ain't listen but well, I’ll go far like Wells
Well, that mean I’m banking, what you thinking
I’m debating, they creating the hating and the faking
I’m taking and making the best of every situation
These rappers sweet and frosted, no wonder why they flaking
