V.I.C (UK)
Mumma We Made It
[Verse 1]
There once was a kid with some big old eyes that saw many things
Saw a name in the sky with the starlight shine plus all that it brings
Said I want that
But he was timid with no skills
Lookin' at those hills
Smaller in person and bigger in those feels
Those feels and nobody knew what it does take, you know
See, he saw what not now, but the one in the future, he will be
Said those words that they say won't kill me
Uppin' his price so they look at him twice
When it's tints in his rides and my fits be filthy
And those friends from those days, they feel me
'Cause I never changed, what I'm showin' them is the real me
Job still thrills 'cause I do what I like and I'm livin' my life, you know
[Chorus]
I'll say, "Mumma, we made it and life's good"
It worked out the way that I said it would
Then now I'm set for my brothers
I'm set for my sister too, sisters too
Took some risk and it paid off well
Loads to show, so much to tell
One for the kids we know without a place to go
When they have dreams to show so they know
[Verse 2]
That I once was a kid with some big ol' eyes that saw many things
I saw some kids with the big house
Pool in the yard with the pretty swings
I said, "I want that"
But we never had these things back then
When we wanna play, we just pretend
I told friends when I'm older, I'lI get myself two houses in Hollywood
They'll have pools in the backyard, jacuzzis too
One for me and one for you
To do the things that we couldn't do
In those days as kids when nobody knew that we
That we never had these things back then
When we wanna play, we just pretend
I'lI pick up my phone from LA
Call Mumma and say that these days, we're doin' okay
I'll say
[Chorus]
I'll say, "Mumma, we made it and life's good"
It worked out the way that I said it would
Then now I'm set for my brothers
I'm set for my sister too, sisters too
Took some risk and it paid off well
Loads to show, so much to tell
One for the kids we know without a place to go
When they have dreams to show so they know that I
[Bridge]
Once was a kid with some big old eyes that saw many things
I've grown up now
But I still be chasin' lights plus all that it brings
Things, I'm close
I've been workin' for a while now
Not long now to go, to go
[Chorus]
I'll say, "Mumma, we made it and life's good"
It worked out the way that I said it would
Then now I'm set for my brothers
I'm set for my sister too, sisters too
Took some risk and it paid off well
Loads to show, so much to tell
One for the kids we know without a place to go
When they have dreams to show so they know that I
[Outro]
Once was a kid with some big ol' eyes that saw many things
Saw a name in the sky with the starlught shine plus all that it brings
And then he got it, yeah, yeah, yeah
I think that's good
