Made it through

“Made It Through” – Lil Mae

[Hook]
Yeah, we came from the bottom, had to fight for this shit
Everybody switched up when the money got thick
Used to pray every night, now we finally lit
Told myself keep pushin’, never quit, never quit

Mama cried, bills due, couldn’t fix that shit
Had some nights in the dark, I admit that shit
Now I’m standin’ on top, got the world in my grip
Middle fingers to the ones that abandoned the ship

[Verse 1]
I was broke as a bitch, had holes in my shoes
Same clothes every day, man, I had nothin’ to lose
All that pain in my chest turned my heart into fuel
Now these motherfuckers watchin’ every move that I do

Used to hear “you ain’t shit,” now they knowin’ my name
Funny how they come around when they seein’ the fame
I was walkin’ through the storm, standin’ out in the rain
Had to learn the hard way, every loss is a gain

Had some friends turn fake, had some family too
When you down in the dirt, that’s when you learn who’s who
I was stressin’ every day, didn’t know what to do
Now I’m chasin’ every dream that I said I’d pursue

[Hook]
Yeah, we came from the bottom, had to fight for this shit
Everybody switched up when the money got thick
Used to pray every night, now we finally lit
Told myself keep pushin’, never quit, never quit

Mama cried, bills due, couldn’t fix that shit
Had some nights in the dark, I admit that shit
Now I’m standin’ on top, got the world in my grip
Middle fingers to the ones that abandoned the ship

[Verse 2]
I remember cold nights, hearin’ sirens outside
Tryna act like I’m good while I’m dyin’ inside
Had to carry all this weight with nobody beside
Now I’m lookin’ at the stars from the driver’s side

Every scar got a story, every wound got a name
Every loss made me stronger, every struggle brought pain
But I swear I wouldn’t trade all the shit that I faced
’Cause it made me who I am and put this fire in my veins

Now my head to the sky, got my feet on the ground
Told my people we’d be up, now they see it around
Still got demons in my mind when nobody’s around
But I’m fightin’ every day, I won’t let ’em drag me down

[Outro]
Yeah, we made it through the pain, made it through the hurt
Had to get it out the mud, had to put in the work
If they doubt you, tell ‘em watch while you show what you’re worth
’Cause the realest motherfuckers always rise from the dirt
