Together we made it
We made it even though we had our backs
Up against the wall

See a [bad word] survived the worst
But my life is glorious (uh!)
But I know that I leaped every hurdle
And I'm so victorious (uh!)
Take a look I'm a symbol of greatness
Now call a [bad word] Morpheus (yeah)
As force securin' the win, but they
Believe I'm so notorious (yeah)
You know that I've been 'bout my bread
Even though we rappin' now (yes)
We used to live on the strip even though
[bad word] higher level trappin' now (oh!)
Superseded everyone of my little [bad word] and (uh!)
So failure has never ever been an option [bad word] 
[bad word] paper long [bad word] hour traffic
And I'm about to take the hood shoppin' (get it!)

Together we made it (say we did it niggas)
We made it even though we had our backs
Up against the wall [bad word] on)
Forever we waited (ah hah)
And they told us we were never gonna
Get it all we took it on the road
To the riches (on the road)
To the ghetto (on the road)
In the projects, to this bangin' [bad word] (on the road)
Rise with me (on the road) [bad word] and get it (on the road)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yo

When it all got started we were steadily
Just getting rejected
And it seemed like nothin' we could do
Could ever get us respected
At best we were stressed at the worst
They probably said we're pathetic
Had all the pieces to that puzzle
Just the way to connect it
I was fighting through every rhyme
Tightening up every line
Never restin' the question if I 
Was out of my mind
It finally came time to do it or let it die
So we put the chips on the table and
Told them to let it ride, sing it (yeah)

Together we made it (say we did it niggas)
We made it even though we had our backs
Up against the wall [bad word] on)
Forever we waited (ah hah)
And they told us we were never gonna
Get it all we took it on the road
To the riches (on the road)
To the ghetto (on the road)
In the projects, to this bangin' [bad word] (on the road)
Rise with me (on the road) [bad word] and get it (on the road)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, look

In case you misunderstand exactly what I'm buildin'
This [bad word] that I can leave for
My children's (children's) children's (children)
Now on the wake up I smile, to see how far [bad word] (yeah)
Fighting for sales when I'm stripped
To negate the hustle from (yeah)
From nights in jail on a bench using my muscles son (yeah)
To countin' money like Dre and Jimmy [bad word] was (yeah [bad word] 
But now I live when I dream, you see we finally did it (oh!)
Let's make a toast to the hustle
Regardless how you get it, sing it

Together we made it (say we did it niggas)
We made it even though we had our backs
Up against the wall [bad word] on)
Forever we waited (ah hah)
And they told us we were never gonna
Get it all we took it on the road
To the riches (on the road)
To the ghetto (on the road)
In the projects, to this bangin' [bad word] (on the road)
Rise with me (on the road) [bad word] and get it (on the road)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
