Jay-z I Made It Lyrics

I Made It Lyrics

I told you Ms. Carter, here we are



Momma, I made it

You know how I do when the Doc do it

I fly through it, that's how I operated

Momma, I made it

Ghetto like the grease when you gettin' your hair braided

Sweeter than your sister Kool Aid is



Hooray, it's the underdog now, my feet under desk

I'm the presidential favorite

Can't believe I got away with my earlier stages

To bein' on stages, havin' my way with the world



Congratulations, your baby boy's a made man

I'ma hold the fam down at least 3 generations

I'm talkin' when spaceships are around

And your great great grands

Reminiscin' about foundation you gave 'em



For repairin' my relationship with my pops before he passed

All I ask is you raise your glass in this celebration

Toast to the most beautiful girl in the world

My inspiration, thanks for the information



Momma, I made it

Momma, I made it



Home became where it ain't everyday that you make it out

To be on top of yachts wavin'

I remember you savin' for the light bill

Paid the rent with a light bill

Now our crib dark as a basement



Had to lock up the phone when you wasn't home

We was communicatin' like the money you made wasn't basic

Our cable was basic, no HBO, WHT

Just Ralph McDaniels on the station



I aggravated you for Atari and ColecoVision

Pinstripe Lee's when the first day of school came

And I was okay with not havin' everything

Long as Saturdays you had The Commodores playin'



The expression on your face was priceless

It's still with me 'til this day, baby girl, I won't erase it

I go to my grave with the memory of the sacrifice you made

You deserve a standin' ovation



Momma, I made it

Momma, I made it

Momma, I made it



Now your lil' misfit makes sure every day is Christmas

Write out your wishlist, sixes, wrist is glistenin'

You don't even like jewels

But you can missin' anywhere you like to



Where the water's light blue

Anything you order, sign it to your nice room

Leave a extra tip, Ma, be extra nice to 'em

CEO, Carter Foundation



Wow, I know Pop lookin' down

I know Colleek somewhere up in the clouds

Like, "Go get 'em, Grandma, make me proud'€?

Didn't have a man in the house, so you made one

So I act like your husband and I'm only your son



I told you one day, I'll get you a home

I didn't know it would possibly be in Rome

Told me don't wait on nobody, get your own

So with me, myself and my microphone, I made it



Momma, I made it

Momma, I made it
