Derek Minor - We Gone Make It (Feat. Canton Jones)

[Verse 1: Derek Minor] Uh... This for everybody surviving And all they money spent People up in my house And I can't even pay my rent I work my tail off Hopin' one day I'm well off Or at least just feed my babies They say I'm lazy, but they WAY off! I know the struggle I feel you Cops still in my rear view And I ain't broke no laws... But I guess my skin's in clear view Hey, we need education Maybe a lil' mo' patience Cause our father's gone and this slave mentality's still keepin' us naked You see crackheads on every corner Pills, drink... marijuana Pick jail, and in the coffin Cause that's what we see often And I know sometimes that you just wanna give up But boy just keep yo' head up... God said that we gon' make it bruh! [Hook: Canton Jones] One day I know we won't have to cry no more And this pain I can't let you take it That's why we, we, we gone make it yeah! We, we, we gone make it yeah! I can't let you take it That's why we, we, we gone make it yeah We, we, we, gone make it yeah I can't let you take it That's why we, we, we gone make it yeah [Verse 2: Derek Minor] Single mama it's hard... Lord knows I understand Growing up and he's smart How you gon' raise him into a man? You see the pain when he ask about where his daddy at You'll go hungry to make sure he got clothes on his back! Girl I know your pain God, He know the same He hears you when you pray You can give Him everything Young man I feel you See other kids and it kills you Cause they dads off in they homes And yours ain't even nowhere near you! I understand, cause I been it It's real to me, cause I lived it! And I swear to God Long as I breathe my son won't know that feeling! Not cause I'm so good But the Lord's my inspiration Long as He's our Father I know that we gone make it Not cause I'm so good But the Lord's my inspiration Long as He's our Father I know that we gone make it Not cause I'm so good But the Lord's my inspiration Long as He's our Father I know that we gone make it!
