Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Together, we made it
We made it even though we had out backs up against the wall
[Verse 2]
As you can see, I survived the worst, but my life is glorious
Better know that I leaped every hurdle and I'm so victorious
Take a look, I'm a symbol of greatness, now you could call me Morpheus
As for securing the win, better believe I'm so notorious
You know that I've been 'bout my bread, even though we rapping now
We used to live on the strip, even though you see me higher level trapping now
Superseded every one of my little struggles and failure has never, ever been an option
You see, my paper long, like rush hour traffic, thinking I'm 'bout to take the hood shopping, get it
[Verse 3]
Together, we made it (You see, we did it)
We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall (Come on)
Forever, we waited
And they told us we were never gonna get it, but we took it on the road (To the riches)
On the road (To the ghetto)
On the road (In the projects to this banging instrumental)
On the road (Ride with me)
On the road (You come and get it)
On the road (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 4]
Yo, when it all got started, we was steadily just getting rejected
And it seemed like nothing we could do would 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 no way to connect it
I was fighting through every rhyme, tightening up every line
Never resting 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 'em to let it ride, sing it, yeah
[Verse 5]
Together, we made it (You see, we did it)
We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall (Come on)
Forever, we waited
And they told us we were never gonna get it, but we took it on the road (To the riches)
On the road (To the ghetto)
On the road (In the projects to this banging instrumental)
On the road (Ride with me)
On the road (You come and get it)
On the road (Yeah, yeah)
[Verse 6]
Look, in case you misunderstand exactly what I'm building
There's things that I can leave for my for Children's (Children's) Children's (Children)
Now on my wake up, I smile to see how far I've come
Fighting for sales on a strip, to I gained the hustle from
From nights in jail on a bench, using my muscles, son
To counting money like Dre and Jimmy and Russell was
But now, I live what I dream, you see, we finally did it
Let's make a toast to the hustle, regardless how you did it, sing it
[Verse 7]
Together, we made it (You see, we did it)
We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall (Come on)
Forever, we waited
And they told us we were never gonna get it, but we took it on the road (To the riches)
On the road (To the ghetto)
On the road (In the projects to this banging instrumental)
On the road (Ride with me)
On the road (You come and get it)
On the road (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
