Hangin on a tight rope, fingers slippin off But you ain't by yourself dawg, we all been lost Stay on your course, carry your cross Ain't no stoppin, got to keep it poppin You want it, you can get it, believe me the king did it Nothin gonna hold you back, there's no limits I'm sent to bring truth to rap, not gimmicks And I'm not finished, man listen Here's the moral to the thesis, y'all cats need Jesus He put your life back together, pick up the pieces Word to the masses, I heard God asked us For less fake rappers, and more real pastors Uh-huh, uh-huh, so hereafter [Chorus - 2X w/ ad libs] [Mary Mary (LL)] We made it, we made it Through the storm and rain, yeahhhhhhh You can make it, yes you can You can make it, you got me I know you can, I know you can I know you can, yessssss, yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I do believe we'll make it (Hallelujah!)
