Make It Ourselves

This is your start to fame...do it, do it, do it

[Chorus:]
We got young blood
Can't destroy us
We make our own luck in this world
We got young blood
Can't destroy us
We make our own luck in this world

But in dark times, when we close our eyes
It's a nightmare, it's a nightmare
When the sun don't shine, we lose our minds
But I swear, we can get there

[Chorus]

The look on my counselor's face
When I told her I wanted to rap
Told me to "drop it with this nonsense"
Or just watch my grades collapse
So either do what I love
Or just hate how I'm living
Damn, it's a hard decision
Say goodbye to 9 to 5s
But working 5 to 9, I'm driven
Reminiscent of the times
Writing raps in mathematics
Thought I had it all down
Like this one girl on my mattress
Catching feelings cuz my music
And all my music comes from you
But feelings only last a second
I got time for just a few
And she says
"You're always working B
This seems to me
You don't want this to work
How do you expect for me
To let this be, I'm not one of them skirts"
But that's the thing, it's time to focus on myself
Cuz nothing's ever handed
Gotta make that shit yourself
Like

But in dark times, when we close our eyes
It's a nightmare, it's a nightmare
When the sun don't shine, we lose our minds
But I swear, we can get there

[Chorus]

[Hendersin:]
Yeah, kill it, and they feel it
Cuz I'm still keeping that grind alive
Make 30 grand in two months
But I still work a 9 to 5
Cuz nothing's really promised nigga
I'm just being honest wit'cha
Can't complain, I stand for change
Like I got Obama's picture
Had the vision
Always knew that I could see far
Almost worked myself to death
I just got out that ER
But I'm okay
I'm still working every night
I promise
That Imma be up in this game
Until I'm 90, Betty White
And they know
That I had to link with Ivan
Yeah, we thrivin, they surviving
Yeah we driven, don't mean driving
And I said
Fuck your recipe
Knew this was my destiny
Every word I say
Nick Lachey
I give them all what's left of me, I'm gone

But in dark times, when we close our eyes
It's a nightmare, it's a nightmare
When the sun don't shine, we lose our minds
But I swear, we can get there

[Chorus]
