Lyrics

[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)
