GOTTA MAKE IT

Don't you Compromise
You been grinding your whole life
You gotta make it
You gon make it
Got that fire in your eyes
Don't let this dream die
You gotta make it
You gon make it
Niggas gave up on themselves and wonder why I can't respect em
It's hard to take you niggas at your word when you ain't kept em

Learned lessons on this journey
Every friend don't come expected
Sometimes God throws a alley
If you catch it then perfect it

Can't feel sympathy for pressure when my time came I endured it
Biggest show I ever did my mama died the week before it

Mala Luna Festival
30,000 people
I went broke, homeless, and I pawned my jewelry for her kemo

Never bought another chain it'd just remind me of the pain
Never loved nobody that long and just lost em in a day

And I hope this makes you cry because I cried when it happened
On the stage wiping my tears tryna hide it while rappin

I had built up my momentum but felt like I lost my purpose
Wanted to move her out the hood and now my gift feel like it's worthless

What is life if ur a hero but you couldn't save the day
On my momma on my soul I sell out shows in Sandra's name

Don't you Compromise
You been grinding your whole life
You gotta make it
You gon make it
Got that fire in your eyes
Don't let this dream die
You gotta make it
You gon make it

Hope you cry when you hear this cuz I cried when i wrote it
God made me with extra seasoning my drive and my focus
I made movements in my city in the middle of coping
I was doing shows on boats until we got pulled over
I know pain in many forms I'm not stranger to struggle
But if I let that change my path I'm just regular muggle
I did my dirt on this earth I'm not afraid of no trouble
Ima do what i have to do fam winners gon hustle
I know women that won't show up to my shows cuz I won't fuck em
I know dudes that wouldn't clap for me unless they feel involved
And I wish I had the answers every situation customDeep down I know that some of yall Never gon change at all
I would pray for understanding sometime my call don't go thru
They say Jesus bared a cross I bare my loss it's still acute
When I have my 1 on 1s with God I ask what to do
When he removes people from round feel like I already knew

Don't you Compromise
You been grinding your whole life
You gotta make it
You gon make it
Got that fire in your eyes
Don't let this dream die
You gotta make it
You gon make it
