Make It
Rocom Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm gonna make it as long as I base it off the love and not the fame of entertainment
Grab a glass, I got a toast, you gotta raise it
I build this from the heart
And not the goal of being famous
I'm in a scene that you wouldn't even dreamed of
Did it for the love not the taste of the green stuff
What up, just keeping it real, better over the years
Fresh flow in your ears, so get it clear
I know the haters get it twisted
Living in the present, everybody call it Christmas



Its not a business making it my business
Take away your mic like I'm busy eating fish sticks
I take the hip shit, chop it up and mix it
Add it to the queue, download it like I'm NetFlix
Roll in a Lexus, yes I got it paid off
Making my art, set it up and watch it take off
We punk rock, welcoming the chaos
Lifting up spirits when I spit it like a seance
Fuck a job got bars like a boss
This is mine, I rhyme, and I never take a day off
I'm gonna make it as long as I base it off the love and not the fame of entertainment
Grab a glass, I got a toast, you gotta raise it
I build this from the heart
And not the goal of being famous
I'm gonna make it as long as I base it off the love and not the fame of entertainment
Grab a glass, I got a toast, you gotta raise it
I build this from the heart
And not the goal of being famous
In the beginning it started with a couple tapes
Didn't know what I was dubbing was the start of something great
Computer scientist, my mind was in another place
Thinking about the vinyl I was piling up, up in my crates
Hated work, but still learning about the beats and breaks
At home in the zone 'til the morning breaks
Helped me escape a job that I clearly hate
Made way into the scene screaming up in peoples face
Got into battle raps just to get a little name
Got in a couple scraps, came out with a couple scrapes
Break bread, me and Ill' say the grace
Foundation was the fans that helped form the base
Thanks, gotta respect it otherwise gotta pump your breaks
They call us weightless, but recognize we heavyweights
Used to serve rappers in and out of every state
Now I serve food for thought, better get a bigger plate
I'm gonna make it as long as I base it off the love and not the fame of entertainment
Grab a glass, I got a toast, you gotta raise it
I build this from the heart
And not the goal of being famous
I'm gonna make it as long as I base it off the love and not the fame of entertainment
Grab a glass, I got a toast, you gotta raise it
I build this from the heart
And not the goal of being famous
Every day's a chance, you gotta take it by the hand
Live it up, don't waste any breaks on a nap
Understand, this is my rap romance
Burn at a turn when my flow slow dance with the beat
Believe, I conjure what I think
Reality's seen like a Green Lantern ring
Used to play guitar, now I rap and sing
So I'm living my dreams like it ain't a damn thing
Fuck all the people saying that I'd never make it
Stuck in the hood drinking, begging with they breath stinkin'
I'm doing good, good or bad, man, that never changin'
No change swingin' just a pocket full of Ben Franklins
Time to get this, you never see me hesitating
Except when I wake up and my mind is busy meditating
God been good, its only right, I gotta thank him
Tombstone probably read he made it when he dead and stinkin'
I'm gonna make it as long as I base it off the love and not the fame of entertainment
Grab a glass, I got a toast, you gotta raise it
I build this from the heart
And not the goal of being famous
I'm gonna make it as long as I base it off the love and not the fame of entertainment
Grab a glass, I got a toast, you gotta raise it
I build this from the heart
And not the goal of being famous
