[Intro: Mario Winans]
Yeah, this song right here
Is about a young man
Who's endured a lot of twists and turns in his life
Cause he always kept his head up, stayed focused
This man's name is Mario Winans, listen

[Chorus: Mario Winans]
What makes you think I can't make it?
Put me to the test, I'll take it
I've been through my trials
But I've overcome all of them
And I've never been one for faking
I kept on moving and shaking
And that's how I made it

[Verse 1: Mario Winans]
I've seen it all
But I never let no one
Tell me what's right, when it's wrong
Cause I heard it all before
And it gives me a reason to fight for
A right for, to do what I gotta do

[Chorus: Mario Winans]
What makes you think I can't make it?
Put me to the test, I'll take it
I've been through my trials
But I've overcome all of them
And I've never been one for faking
I kept on moving and shaking
And that's how I made it
[Verse 2: Mario Winans]
All of my life
I was told that you had to go through
Just to get where you want
And if you come across a storm
You just gotta keep holding on, stay strong
And do what you gotta do

[Chorus: Mario Winans]
What makes you think I can't make it?
Put me to the test, I'll take it
I've been through my trials
But I've overcome all of them
And I've never been one for faking
I kept on moving and shaking
And that's how I made it

[Verse 3: Loon]
Hey yo I came from the bottom, worked my way up
Ran wit' big dudes, had to get my weight up
Now my cake up, now it's lights, cameras, make up
Trips to Jacob, foreign countries
Reminisce on times when we all was hungry
Now I made it and all y'all n***as that hate it
Sayin' that I sound like Mase it
Knowing that I came from the basement
Did my own thing so face it
Now they coming wit' cases, now wanna say I'm racist
I'm so close I can taste it
Sometimes I just wanna grab toast and take it
But imma keep moving and shaking
Stay true to my faith and
I ain't worried about you, imma a make it (I'm a make it)
[Chorus: Mario Winans]
What makes you think I can't make it?
Put me to the test, I'll take it
I've been through my trials
But I've overcome all of them
And I've never been one for faking
I kept on moving and shaking
And that's how I made it
