CALVØN - Make It Out lyrics

I remember coming up and having big dreams
Rich schemes, making it out
Doing some big things
But coming up in the hood, it was a lit scene
Hand-me downs gave a brand new
Meaning to ripped jeans
Hoop dreams and thinking of having six rings
But truthfully
Niggas don't even make it to sixteen
And I don't wanna be a
Victim of the mean streets
So I do what I gotta do to
Make it out and fix things
And all the niggas either dead or in jail
It's heaven or hell
Not to get ahead of myself
But I'mma be great
I wanna do well for myself
But they gunning for me
My people rеally want me to fail
Every day it be thе same shit
Niggas wanna aim blicks and flame shit
If you running game, get your brains split
And they don't really give a
Fuck until you famous
So I ain't leaving nameless
And I'mma hustle 'til I make it out

I gotta make it out before
The hood take me out
Trapped inside the ghetto
Made a promise that I'm breaking out
And I'm on a mission with my niggas
I ain't flaking out
Ain't finna be a victim of the system
I'mma make it out i gotta make it out before
The hood take me out
Trapped inside the ghetto
Made a promise that I'm breaking out
And I'm on a mission with my niggas
I ain't flaking out
Ain't finna be a victim of the system
I'mma make it out

Keep the fam close, keep the enemy closer
Keep your composure
Let 'em see your fear and it's over
Chip on my shoulder
Pussy niggas murdered my brother
Long live Xavier, nigga
Rest in peace to my soldier
The illest and I'm underrated
I play it cool 'cause a
Lot of niggas player hating
But I'm that nigga
Don't be thinking I'm intimidated
They only call me when they need me
I ain't obligated, fuck them niggas
I'mma make it stressing out 'cause I be
Cracking under pressure my momma wanna help
But I don't need another lecture
Praying for my fam like, "God
Come and protect us and bless us"
Keeping my faith, hoping I'm next up
But I be steady sinning
Don't like the way that I'm living
They envy, but, bitch, I'm in it to
Win it, so fuck your feelings, i'm with it
And I ain't going to the
Penitentiary or the cemetery
This war is really killing me

I gotta make it out before
The hood take me out
Trapped inside the ghetto
Made a promise that I'm breaking out
And I'm on a mission with my niggas
I ain't flaking out
Ain't finna be a victim of the system
I'mma make it out i gotta make it out before
The hood take me out
Trapped inside the ghetto
Made a promise that I'm breaking out
And I'm on a mission with my niggas
I ain't flaking out
Ain't finna be a victim of the system
I'mma make it out
