JAY-Z - I Made It lyrics

I told you Ms carter here we are

(Momma, I made it)
You know how I do it like The DOC do it
I fly through it
That's how I operate (momma, I made it)
Ghetto like the grease when you
Getting ya hair braided
Sweeter than ya sister Kool-Aid is
Hooray! It's the underdog now my feet
On the desk I'm the Presidential favorite
Can't believe I got away with
My earliest stages to being on stages
Having my way with the world
Congratulations!
Your baby boy's a made man I'm a
Hold the fam down like three generations
I'm talking when spaceships are around
And ya great-great grands
Reminiscing bout the foundation you gave em
For repairing my relationship with my
Pops before he passed all I ask is you raise
Your glass in this celebration
Toast to the most beautiful girl in the world
My inspiration thanks for the information

Momma I made it momma I made it

Out in BK where
It ain't everyday that you make it out
Be on top of yachts waving
I remember you saving for the light bill
Paid the rent with the light bill
Now our crib dark as a basement
Had to lock up the phone when you wasn't home
We was communicating like the money
You made wasn't basic
Our cable was basic no HBO, WHT
Just Ralph McDaniels on the station
I aggravated you for Atari
And ColecoVision pinstripe Lee's
When the first day of school came in
I was okay with not having everything
Long as Saturdays you had
The Commodores playing
The expression on your face was priceless
Still with me till this day baby
Girl I won't erase it
I go to my grave with the
Memory of the sacrifice you made
You deserve a standing ovation

Momma I made it momma I made it

Now your lil misfit make sure
Every day is Christmas
Write out your wish list
6's, wrist is glistening you
Don't even like jewels
But you could get missing
Anywhere you like to
Where the waters light blue
Anything you order
Sign it to your nice room leave a extra tip
Ma be extra nice to 'em
CEO of Carter Foundation, wow!
I know pop looking down
I know Colleek somewhere up
In the clouds like
Go get 'em Grandma make me proud
Didn't have a man in the
House so you made one
So I act like your husband
And I'm only your son
I told you one day I'd get you a home
I didn't know it could possibly be in Rome
Told me don't wait on nobody, get your own
So with me myself and my microphone
I made it

Momma I made it momma I made it
