Together we made it
  We made it even though we had our backs
  Up against the   wall
 
  See a nigga survived the worst
  But my life is glorious   (uh!)
  But I know that I leaped every hurdle
  And I'm so victorious   (uh!)
  Take a look I'm a symbol of greatness
  Now call a nigga Morpheus   (yeah)
  As force securin' the win, but they
  Believe I'm so notorious   (yeah)
  You know that I've been 'bout my bread
  Even though we rappin' now   (yes)
 
  We used to live on the strip even though
  A nigga higher level   trappin' now (oh!)
  Superseded everyone of my little struggles and (uh!)
  So   your head never ever been an option (trust)
  A nigga paper long like rush hour   traffic
  And I'm about to take the hood shoppin' (get it!)
 
  Together we   made it (say we did it niggas)
  We made it even though we had our backs
  Up   against the wall (come on)
  Forever we waited (ah hah)
  And they told us we   were never gonna
  Get it all we took it on the road
  To the riches (on the   road)
  To the ghetto (on the road)
  In the projects, to this bangin'   instrumental (on the road)
  Rise with me (on the road)
  Come and get it (on   the road)
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yo
 
  When it all got started we were   steadily
  Just getting rejected
  And it seemed like nothin' we could   do
  Could ever get us respected
  At best we were stressed at the   worst
  They probably said we're pathetic
  Had all the pieces to that   puzzle
  Just the way to connect it
  I was fighting through every   rhyme
  Tightening up every line
  Never restin' the question if I
  Was out   of my mind
  It finally came time to do it and let it die
  So we put the   chips on the table and
  Told them to let it ride, sing it   (yeah)
 
  Together we made it (say we did it niggas)
  We made it even   though we had our backs
  Up against the wall (come on)
  Forever we waited   (ah hah)
  And they told us we were never gonna
  Get it all we took it on the   road
  To the riches (on the road)
  To the ghetto (on the road)
  In the   projects, to this bangin' instrumental (on the road)
  Rise with me (on the   road)
  Come and get it (on the road)
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, look
 
  In case   you misunderstand exactly what I'm buildin'
  This shit that I can leave   for
  My children's (children's) children's (children)
  Now on the wake up I   smile, to see how far I've come (yeah)
  Fighting for sales when I'm   stripped
  To negate the hustle from (yeah)
  From nights in jail on a bench   using my muscles son (yeah)
  To countin' money like Dre and Jimmy and Russel   was (yeah nigga)
 
  But now I live when I dream, you see we finally did it   (oh!)
  Let's make a toast to the hustle
  Regardless how you get it, sing   it
 
  Together we made it (say we did it niggas)
  We made it even though   we had our backs
  Up against the wall (come on)
  Forever we waited (ah   hah)
  And they told us we were never gonna
  Get it all we took it on the   road
  To the riches (on the road)
  To the ghetto (on the road)
  In the   projects, to this bangin' instrumental (on the road)
  Rise with me (on the   road)
  Come and get it (on the road)
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
