[Intro] Yeah This for the nights I ain’t talk about For the ones who left And the few who stayed [Verse 1] Used to sleep in my hoodie, phone on one percent Praying for a message, all I got was debt Mama in the kitchen, trying to stretch a check I was in my feelings, tryna stretch my chest Homies said they with me, then the charges came Everybody vanished, started dodging names Public defender, couldn’t guard my pain So I learned to dribble through the hardest days [Pre-Chorus] Who gon’ ride when it’s empty? (who?) When the plate barely fed me Had to bleed just to get free Now the scars really get me [Chorus] I made it, but I’m still on the way Got these tears in my eyes, but they shining today All this pain in my veins, I turned it to faith If you stayed by my side, you forever my save I made it, yeah, I broke but I bent Put my past in a box, paid back every cent All the nights I was lost, now they paying my rent I ain’t where I’m gon’ be, but I’m not where I went (I made it) [Verse 2] You ain’t seen what I seen, you just seen the clips You ain’t heard the doctor say “we might lose your sis” You ain’t seen your brother in them county bricks Face behind glass, saying, “don’t you quit” Loyalty is quiet, it don’t make a post It show up uninvited when you need it most I remember who was there when I was eating toast Now we talk investments while we sharing jokes Had to cut a couple ties just to grow again Love you from a distance, never fold again Therapy and prayer, that’s my closest friends Learning how to breathe when the floor caves in [Pre-Chorus] Who gon’ ride when it’s raining? (who?) When your joy steady draining When your chest feel caving I was broke, but I’m changing [Chorus] I made it, but I’m still on the way Got these tears in my eyes, but they shining today All this pain in my veins, I turned it to faith If you stayed by my side, you forever my save I made it, yeah, I broke but I bent Put my past in a box, paid back every cent All the nights I was lost, now they paying my rent I ain’t where I’m gon’ be, but I’m not where I went (I made it) [Bridge] For the days I ain’t eat, I remember that For the calls I ain’t get, I remember that For the fire in my chest, had to sit with that Turned every hard flash to a wisdom tat If I said that I love you, then I got your back If you crossed me for clout, ain’t no walking back Got a circle so small, it’s a heart, in fact If you bleeding like me, know I honor that (yeah) [Chorus] I made it, but I’m still on the way Got these tears in my eyes, but they shining today All this pain in my veins, I turned it to faith If you stayed by my side, you forever my save I made it, yeah, I broke but I bent Put my past in a box, paid back every cent All the nights I was lost, now they paying my rent I ain’t where I’m gon’ be, but I’m not where I went [Outro] I made it Still fighting, but I made it (oh) If you listening in the dark right now Hold on, you gon’ say it (I made it)

rap, Moody, melodic hip-hop with deep 808 bass and sparse piano; male vocals half-sung, half-rapped. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d, riding a swung pocket with subtle trap hats and filtered keys. Chorus blooms with stacked soulful harmonies, airy pads, and a wide, chest-thumping low end. Final hook adds extra ad-libs and a lifted octave for a triumphant, gritty climax., emotional, soulful, raw, deep, hip-hop
