[LL Cool J, Mary Mary - We're Gonna Make It lyrics]
I know the Lord, will make a way
He will make a way, yessssssss he will
Yessssss, he willlllll
Ohhh, I do believe that we will make it
Yeahhh, yeahhh, yeahhh, yeah
Uhh uhh i was at rock bottom
My whole life was mo' problems
Reincarnation of a slave pickin cotton
Stress beamin down like the sun I felt rotten
To the core, was at war
Cause the enemy is plottin
I hear him knockin, sayin that we got him
Hot like solar, he wanna burn my soul up
World on my shoulders but I
Roll back ya boulders
Words have a funny way of
Comin back to scold ya
Watch what come out of your mouth
You crack a molar i tried to told ya, hehehe
Enemies gunnin, true believers ain't runnin
Or duckin, we ain't scared of nuttin
Ya feel me?
They wanna test me and press my buttons
Oh really?
Allow Uncle L to hip y'all to somethin, uhh
Uhh yeah, uhh, check it out
There's a living power
Make a man out a coward
Rebuild your strength like the
New Trade Towers i thought that I was over
My life got devoured now I'm on top and I
Pray for all the doubters
Time to shout it, sing it louder
Yeahh, we're gonna make it
We're gonna make it (we're gonna make it)
Thank God we made it (yeahhhhh)
And I mean it, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
I was feelin like my whole
World was spinnin and spillin
On the ground and that God wasn't willin
It seemed like the only ones
Ballin was the villains
Dollar signs in they eyes
Lyin to our chill'un
I wanna kill 'em, I'd rather God hit 'em
They sellin venom and we buyin it like denim
These world wide webs they weave
We caught in 'em
Old folks is dyin and CEO's skimmin
The bat's in your hand and
This is the 9th inning
Keep your eyes on the ball when you swingin
Don't be confused
Don't be fooled by the wind-up
Start switchin your position
Make your mind up
Pull your bootstraps tight, get your grind up
Get your life lined up before time's up
Yo, yo, you know what?
Take ten percent of that
Dough you tryin to stack send it up to God
I guarantee he send it back
Multiply it by a hundred times
Y'all remember that
That's just a little jewel to get
The monkey off your back
Uhh, yeah, sing it out now
In the darkest valley
Through the loneliest alley
Never give up, press on through the storm
Weepin man fall, for the night seem long
But, if you stand strong joy
Come within the morn' and it goes
On and on and on and on and on and ah
I know it feels like your back's to the wall
Who's sittin in the crib
And you don't know who to call
(Jesus) Hangin on a tight rope
Fingers slippin off
But, you ain't by yourself dawg
We all been lost
Stay on your course, carry your cross
Ain't no stoppin, got to keep it poppin
You want it, you can get it
Believe me the king did it
Nothin gonna hold you back
There's no limit's
I'm sent to bring truth to rap, not gimmicks
And I'm not finished, man listen
Here's the moral to the thesis
Y'all cats need Jesus
He put your life back together
Pick up the pieces
Word to the masses, I heard God asked us
For less fake rappers, and more real pastors
Uh, huh, uh huh, so hereafter
We made it, we made it
Through the storm and rain, yeah
You can make it, yes you can
You can make it, you got me
I know you can, I know you can
I know you can, yessssss
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I do believe we'll make it (Hallelujah)
(Glory! Glory)
He will make a way, yessssssss he will
Yessssss, he willlllll
Ohhh, I do believe that we will make it
Yeahhh, yeahhh, yeahhh, yeah
Uhh uhh i was at rock bottom
