How I Made It

Yeah, this song right here is about a young man Who's endured a lot of twists and turns in his life 'Cause he always kept his head up, stayed focused This man's name is Mario Winans, listen What makes you think I can't make it? Put me to the test, I'll take it I've been through more trials but I've overcome all of them And I've never been one for fakin' I kept on movin' and shakin' and that's how I made it I've seen it all but I never let no one Tell me what's right, when it's wrong 'Cause I heard it all before And it gives me a reason to fight for a right for, to do what I gotta do What makes you think I can't make it? Put me to the test, I'll take it I've been through more trials but I've overcome all of them And I've never been one for fakin' I kept on movin' and shakin' and that's how I made it All of my life I was told that you had to go through Just to get where you want and if you come across a storm You just gotta keep holdin' on and stay strong And do what you gotta do What makes you think I can't make it? Put me to the test, I'll take it I've been through more trials but I've overcome all of them And I've never been one for fakin' I kept on movin' and shakin' and that's how I made it Check it out, yo, hey yo, hey yo I came from the bottom, worked my way up Ran wit big dudes, had to get my weight up Now my cake up, now it's lights, cameras, make up Trips to Jacob, foreign countries Reminisce of times when we all was hungry Now I made it, know y'all niggaz that hate it Seeing that I sound like Mase and Knowing that I came from the basement, did my own thing, so face it Now they coming wit cases, now with this hand I'm racist I'm so close I can taste it Sometimes I just want to grab, toast and take it But I'm a keep moving and shaking Stay true to my faith and I ain't worried about you, I'm a make it What makes you think I can't make it? Put me to the test, I'll take it I've been through more trials but I've overcome all of them And I've never been one for fakin' I kept on movin' and shakin' and that's how I made it
