(feat. Aretha Franklin, Juvenile)
<!-- start of lyrics -->
[Aretha Franklin:]
Trey, this is Aretha,
Believe in yo self,
Believe in yo dreams,
Don't let nobody tell you what you can't do.
Ya sho' you gonna make yeah...
[Trey Songz:]
This song is for my SHAWTY
That's goin through it
You gotta know you can do it
And this song is for my homies
Just hold it down cause
Gudda from the ground up
Cause I tried suit with a smile
It ain't fit me
And I played the blocked for a while
Them people tried to kill me
No matter what you go through
I know one thing is true
Keep believin' in you.
[Hook:]
Cause when it's feelin like you
Just can't take it
And no matter what you do
Ooh they keep hatin
Lift your head up to the sky
Tell yourself I
Just gotta make it (aah)
Just gotta make it
[repeat]
[Trey Songz:]
Shawty I know you bout to have yo baby
Before you give up just take a second lady
Look in the mirror your reflection baby
It's perfection baby
Don't neglect it baby
My homie I know you been nicklin and dimin
Can't get enough hours at yo job to get your time in
I know them streets lookin good
And that money lookin long
Gone and get how you live who am I to tell you wrong
Cause I tried suit with a smile
It ain't fit me
And I played the blocked for a while
Them people tried to kill me
No matter what you go through
I know thing is true
Keep believin' in you
[Hook]
Juvenile
Man I 'dun slept in hallways,
but i didn't cry through.
Was advanced for my learning,
but was all caught in the cycle.
What i wore in the daytime,
is what i wore for my night-clothes.
Concern about a mil
when i should have been shutin' my eyes close.
Know about the song rappers real and the pot calls

If i aint got nothin I got flow
Small carrying a block glow
Just keep on grinding dont pay atention to these potholes
And you can make a come up
makin moves in the hummer
And you bring the children down to disneyworld this summer
I dun been to hell and back
Thats why i changed my life
Been caught up and convicted for the same thing twice.
Mamma preaching to me
to get my mindframe right
They found two on my partners' bodies on the same night
If I was with them i would be on the same plane
I was livin in this dump so i changed my life
Look at you day after day I know I
Just gotta make it just gotta make it
Just to see that smile upon your face I know I
Just gotta make it just gotta make it
Everything I do I do for you and we
Just gotta make it just gotta make it
To top of the world me and my girl we
Just gotta make it just gotta make it
