Artist: Jay-Z
Album: Kingdom Come
Song: I Made It

I told you Ms. Carter... here we are

(Mama I made it)
You know how I do it like the doc do it I fly through it
That`s how I operate (Mama I made it)
Ghetto like the grease when you getting ya hairbraided
Sweeter than ya Sister kool-aid is
Hooray!! It`s the underdog now my feet
On the desk I`m the Presidential favorite
Can`t believe I got away with
My earliest stages to being on stages
Having my way with the world Congratulations !!
Your baby boy`s a made man I`m a hold the fam down like three generations
I`m talking when spaceships are around and ya great-great grands
Reminiscing bout the foundation you gave em
For repairing 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

[Chorus]
Mama I made it... Mama I made it

Out in BK where
It aint everyday that you make it out
Be on top of yachts waving
I remember you saving for the light bill paid the rent with the light bill
Now our crib dark as a basement
Had to lock up the phone when you wasn`t home
We was communicating like the money you made wasn`t basic
Our cable was basic no HBO WHT just Ralph Mcdames on the station
I aggravated you for Atari and Colico vision pin stripe Lee`s
When the first day of school came in
I was ok with not having everything
long as Saturdays you had the commodores playing
The expression on your face was priceless
Still with me till 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 standing ovation

[Chorus]

Now your lil ms. Fit make sure everyday is Christmas write out your wish list
6`s wrist is glistening you don`t even like jewels
But you could get missing anyway you like to
Where the waters light blue anything you order
Sign it to your nice room leave a extra tip ma be extra nice to em
Ceo of carter foundation Wow!!!
I know pop looking down I know Carlique 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`d get you a home
I didn`t know it could possibly be in Rome
Told me don`t wait on nobody get your own
So with me myself and my microphone I made it

[Chorus]
