Together we made it, we made it
Even though we had our backs up against the wall
As you can see i survived the worst
But my life is glorious
But I know that I leaped every hurdle
And I'm so victorious
Take a look I'm a symbol of greatness
Now nigga call me Morpheus
As force securin' the win
But they believe I'm so notorious (yeah)
You know that I've been 'bout my bread
Even though we rapping now (yes)
We used to live on the strip
Even though a nigga higher level trapping now (oh)
I superseded every one of my little struggles and (uh)
So your head never ever been an option (trust)
A nigga paper long like rush hour traffic
And I'm about to take the hood shoppin', get it
Together we made it
(You see we did it)
We made it
Even though we had our backs up against the wall
(C'mon)
Forever we waited
(Ha ha)
And they told us we were never going to get it
But we took it on the road
(To the riches)
On the road
(To the ghetto)
On the road
On the road
(Ride with me, Yeah)
On the road
(You come and get it, Yeah)
On the road
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yo)
When it all got started
We was steadily just getting rejected
And it seemed like nothing we could do
Would ever get us respected
At best we was stressed
And the worst they probably said were pathetic
Had all the pieces to that puzzle
Just no way to connect it
I was fighting through every rhyme
Tightening up every line
Never resting to question
If I was out of my mind
And it finally came time to do it and let it die
So put the chips on the table
And told them to let it ride
Sing it, ya
Together we made it
(You see we did it niggas)
We made it
Even though we had our backs up against the wall
(C'mon)
Forever we waited
(Ha ha)
And they told us we were never going to get it
But we took it on the road
(To the riches)
On the road
(To the ghetto)
On the road
On the road
(Ride with me)
On the road
(You come and get it)
On the road
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Look in case you misunderstand
Exactly what I'm building
Is shit that I could leave for my children's
(Children's)
Children's
(Children)
Now on the wake up
I smile to see how far I've come
Fighting for sales on a strip to get hustle from
From nights in jail on a bench using my muscles son
To count money like Dre and Jimmy and Russell was
(Ya nigga)
But now I live when I dream you see me finally getting it
Let's make a toast to the hustle
Regardless how you get it sing it
Together we made it
(You see we did it niggas)
We made it
Even though we had our backs up against the wall
(C'mon)
Forever we waited
(Ha ha)
And they told us we were never going to get it
But we took it on the road
(To the riches)
On the road
(To the ghetto)
On the road
On the road
(Ride with me yeah)
On the road
(You come and get it)
On the road
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
