Success
[Intro: Mr. Dalvin]
DeVante…K-Ci…Mr. Dalvin…JoJo
And each song, still on
[Verse 1: K-Ci]
Way back in 1989, I believe it was
We packed up DeVante’s car and headed up north
A little money in our pockets, but that didn’t stop us
We had to leave, oh yeah
Leaving a family behind back home
It was so sad that we said “Mama, we’re gone”
We were leaving in a rush—mama, don’t fuss
We just wanna succeed—yes we do
[Chorus: Jodeci + (K-Ci ad-libs)]
For those who thought we, wouldn’t make it
But we had to, ‘cause we had our made up mind
(And you know who you are)
Success is not hard to find
(Have a little faith and you will go far)
For those who thought we, wouldn’t make it
But we had to, ‘cause we had our made up mind
(No one could stop us, no no)
Success is not hard to find
(We had to go; we had to go)
[Verse 2: K-Ci]
We rolled around the Big Apple all night long
Every time listening to our demo song
Not a place to sleep, nothing was cheap
But we still drove on—yes we did
Ended up in this motel far out away
Didn’t really care, we were still gonna stay
‘Cause we’re living life, we wasn’t gonna cry
There was always a next day
You just gotta believe it, yes you do, yes you do
[Chorus: Jodeci + (K-Ci ad-libs)]
For those who thought we, wouldn’t make it
But we had to, ‘cause we had our made up mind
(No one could stop us, no no)
Success is not hard to find
(I said nobody, nobody)
For those who thought we, wouldn’t make it
But we had to, ‘cause we had our made up mind
(No one could stop us, no no)
Success is not hard to find
(Don’t you know we just gotta keep moving on)
[Bridge: Jodeci + (K-Ci ad-libs)]
Now we just gotta keep moving on
(Singing your favorite song)
Singing your favorite song
(Song after song after song)
Getting you up on your feet
(Everybody get on up)
Moving you to a beat
(Can you feel it?)
[Interlude: Mr. Dalvin]
To our families, to our fans
For everybody who supported us
Thank you
Sincerely yours, Jodeci
Peace
Jodeci, sing
[Chorus]
For those who thought we, wouldn’t make it
But we had to, ‘cause we had our made up mind
(We drove for 12 long hours)
Success is not hard to find
(Looking for a place to sleep, looking for a place to eat)
For those who thought we, wouldn’t make it
But we had to, ‘cause we had our made up mind
Success is not hard to find
For those who thought we, wouldn’t make it
But we had to, ‘cause we had our made up mind
(Most of all, we love each other)
Success is not hard to find
