We Made It - Amended Version

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 you can call me Morpheus
As force securing 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 you see me higher level trapping now (oh)

I superseded every one of my little struggles and (uh)
Failure has never ever been an option (trust)
You see my paper long like rush hour traffic
And I'm about to take the hood shopping, 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 (haha)
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 (in the projects to this banging instrumental)
On the road (ride with me) (yeah)
On the road (we come to 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 or let it die
So we put the chips on the table and told them to let it ride
Sing it, yeah

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 (haha)
And they told us we were never gonna get it
But we took it on the road (to the riches)
On the road (to the ghetto)
On the road (in the projects to this banging instrumental)
On the road (ride with me)
On the road (we come to get it)
On the road (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Look in case you misunderstand exactly what I'm building
It's things that I could leave for my children's (children's) children's (children's)
Now on my wake-up, I smile to see how far I've come (yeah)
Fightin' for sales on a strip to I gained the hustle from (yeah)
From nights in jail on a bench using my muscles, son (yeah)
To count money like Dre and Jimmy and Russell was
But now I live when I dream, you see we finally did it (oh)
Let's make a toast to the hustle regardless how you get it, sing it (oh)

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 (haha)
And they told us we were never gonna get it
But we took it on the road (to the riches)
On the road (to the ghetto)
On the road (in the projects to this banging instrumental)
On the road (ride with me)
On the road (we come to get it)
On the road (yeah, yeah, yeah)
