How I Made It

Mario Winans

[Intro]


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


[Chorus - Mario Winans]


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 faking


I kept on moving and shaking


And that's how I made it


[Verse - Mario Winans]


I've seen it all


But I never let no one


Tell me it'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


[Chorus]


[Verse - Mario Winans]


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 holding on, and stay strong


And do what you gotta do


[Chorus]


[Verse - Loon]


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, and all y'all niggaz can hate it


Seeing that I sound like Mase and


Knowning that I came from the basement


Did my own thing, so face it


Now they coming wit cases, now wit this hand I'm racist


I'm so close I can taste it


Sometimes I just wanna 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 (I'm a make it)


[Chorus]
