Made it through

🎶

I done bled too long to let 'em take my soul now (soul now)

I was prayin’ in the dark, ain't no lights in that old house (old house)

Tears fell silent, heart went violent, had to hold out (hold out)

Still got pain inside my voice when I sing these notes out (notes out)

Yeah I made it through, but I ain’t make it clean

Had to sacrifice my peace just to chase a dream

Yeah I made it through, but I still hear the screams

Of them nights I couldn’t eat, I was grindin’ off a scheme

---

I remember when them streetlights was my only guidance

Prayed my brother beat that case, he was facin’ violence

Mama cryin’ in the kitchen, workin’ two to feed us

I was out there with them jackboys, tryna dodge subpoenas

Told my dawgs, don’t fold, don’t switch

Even when the funds got low, still pitched

I ain’t never ran from smoke, but I ran from trust

Seen a homie switch sides just to feel like “us”

Now I’m solo with a semi, singin’ truth through pain

I don’t pop no pills, I just pray through rain

Got a Bible on the dash and a 9 in the seat

’Cause where I’m from, angels get gunned down in the street

I lost love in them shootouts

Only bond I trust is this Glock when it move out

Try to tell 'em I was loyal, they ain’t hear me though

Feds hit the trap, turned a home to a burial

My cousin in the cell, he ain't see the fame

Said he rather have his daughter than a platinum chain

Can’t lie, that hit me deep, had me questionin’ the route

How we rich now, but still tryna make it out?

Ain’t no love for the kid where I came from

Had to earn every “real” they ever claimed, son

My pain got a melody, my past got scars

But I still keep singin’, even broke behind bars

🎶

Still feel alone in the crowd (mmm-mm)

They love me better when I’m down (uh-huh)

I don’t smile for the ‘Gram, I cry in sound

Told God, "if I fall again, don’t let me drown"
