Mario Winans Feat. Loon - How I Made It lyrics

rate me

Yeah, this song right here is about a young man<br />

Who's endured a lot of twists and turns in his life<br />

'Cause he always kept his head up, stayed focused<br />

This man's name is Mario Winans, listen<br />

<br />

What makes you think I can't make it?<br />

Put me to the test, I'll take it<br />

I've been through more trials<br />

But I've overcome all of them<br />

And I've never been one for fakin'<br />

I kept on movin' an' shakin'<br />

An' that's how I made it<br />

<br />

I've seen it all but I never let no one<br />

Tell me what's right, when it's wrong<br />

'Cause I heard it all before<br />

An' it gives me a reason to fight for<br />

A right for, to do what I gotta do, baby<br />

(What makes you think I can't make it?)<br />

<br />

Put me to the test, I'll take it<br />

I've been through more trials<br />

But I've overcome all of them<br />

And I've never been one for fakin'<br />

I kept on movin' an' shakin'<br />

An' that's how I made it<br />

<br />

All of my life I was told that<br />

You had to go through<br />

Just to get where you want<br />

An' if you come across a storm<br />

You just gotta keep holdin' on<br />

An' stay strong and do what you gotta do, baby<br />

(What makes you think I can't make it?)<br />

<br />

Put me to the test, I'll take it<br />

I've been through more trials<br />

But I've overcome all of them<br />

And I've never been one for fakin'<br />

I kept on movin' an' shakin'<br />

An' that's how I made it<br />

<br />

Hey, yo, I came from the bottom<br />

Worked my way up, ran wit big dudes<br />

Had to get my weight up, now my cake up<br />

Now it's lights, cameras, make up<br />

<br />

Trips to jake up, foreign countries<br />

Reminisce on times when we all was hungry<br />

Now I made it, an' all y'all niggaz can hate it<br />

Seein' that I sound like Mase<br />

An' knownin' that I came from the basement<br />

Did my own thing, so face it<br />

<br />

Now they comin' wit cases, now wit this hand I'm racist<br />

I'm so close, I could taste it<br />

Sometimes, I just wanna grab toast an' take it<br />

But I'm a keep movin' an' shakin', stay true to my faith<br />

An' I ain't worryin' about you, I'ma make it<br />

(What makes you think I can't make it?)<br />

<br />

Put me to the test, I'll take it<br />

I've been through more trials<br />

But I've overcome all of them<br />

And I've never been one for fakin'<br />

I kept on movin' an' shakin'<br />

An' that's how I made it
