[Intro]
Yeah
Look
( I made it )
[Verse 1]
Mama cried in the kitchen light
Past due on the rent all night
Hand-me-downs, but the dream fit right
Kept my faith tucked tight in my sleeve
Missed calls from the old hometown
“Don’t forget us when you wear that crown”
Now the plane touch down, I’m back around
And it’s hard to believe
[Chorus]
I made it
From the floor to the ceiling, yeah I changed it
Every “no” that they gave me, I repainted
Turned the pain into gold, I can taste it
I can taste it
I made it
All the nights I was praying, now I’m blazing
Put the doubt in a grave, then I raised it
From the edge of the fall, now I’m waving
Saying “look, I made it” (yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2]
Used to write on the back of bills
Every bar was a way to heal
Job calls, but I called in “still
Got a verse I can’t kill, gotta finish this”
Friends laughed, said “you’re not that guy”
Same ones now tryna catch that high
When they ask, “what’s the secret, why?”
I just point to the scars that they missed
[Chorus]
I made it
From the floor to the ceiling, yeah I changed it
Every “no” that they gave me, I repainted
Turned the pain into gold, I can taste it
I can taste it
I made it
All the nights I was praying, now I’m blazing
Put the doubt in a grave, then I raised it
From the edge of the fall, now I’m waving
Saying “look, I made it” (I made it)
[Bridge]
This for every time I almost quit (almost)
Heart broke, but I held that grip (hold on)
Talked down, but I flipped that script
Now my name on the door they locked
This for every tear I never showed
Every mile on that lonely road
If they ask how the story goes
Tell ’em I don’t stop
[Chorus]
I made it
From the floor to the ceiling, yeah I changed it
Every “no” that they gave me, I repainted
Turned the pain into gold, I can taste it
I can taste it
I made it
All the nights I was praying, now I’m blazing
Put the doubt in a grave, then I raised it
From the edge of the fall, now I’m waving
Saying “look, I made it” (oh, I made it)
