I Made It
Kevin Rudolf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
Cash Money heroes
Private jets
Polish, Jay Sean, fly

I look up to the sky
And now the world is mine
I've known it all my life
I made it, I made it!
I used to dream about, the life I'm living now
I know that there's no doubt.
I made it, I made it!

Known from the city where no one believed in me
But I never gave up the fight.
Ya, but now I'm on top.
I told you to let it rock
Now money's fallin' from the sky-y-y-y-y
I made it.

I look up to the sky
And now the world is mine
I've known it all my life
I made it, I made it!
I used to dream about, the life I'm living now
I know that there's no doubt.
I made it, I made it!

Rooftop, hella choppa' burning smoke
Louie bag stay strapped wit a priceless globe
High life, flippin' and get some more.
Paradise, the luxury marble floor
When I hit, nigga hit me full of that cash
More money than I seen in a garbage can
Stunna' island, money and the power
That's how we do it, make it rain make it shower
Top floor, big timer doing big things
Over city views bought shawty new range
Flip another hundred, poppin' throwing hundreds
In a new Bentley, uptown stunna

I look up to the sky
And now the world is mine
I've known it all my life
I made it, I made it!
I used to dream about, the life I'm living now
I know that there's no doubt.
I made it, I made it!

Ooh I made it, I made it!
I made it, I made it!
I I I made it!

See I don't live for glamor and I don't care for fame
I'm in this for the love of the game
Funny how things can change
They didn't believe in me then
Now they calling my name
Now look who cashed in
They didn't wanna know me back then
But ever since I don' gone platinum
Everything turned around
And now the sky is falling down

I look up to the sky
And now the world is mine
I've known it all my life
I made it, I made it!
I used to dream about, the life I'm living now
I know that there's no doubt.
I made it, I made it!

Came from the gutter, lookin' like my motha'
Made it to the goal line, straight out the huddle
Cash money goldmine, Weezy stay loyal
Boy we getting money like we just found oil
Uh and that's word to my red flag
I live first and leave the bullshit dead last
I lay it down so hard I got a bed rash
And I just tell 'em to loaf it when the bread pass
Staring at you from the top of the game man
I might drop the world if I change hands
Uh, it feel good to be here, Weezy in the building got this bitch rebuilt
Young Money

I look up to the sky
And now the world is mine
I've known it all my life
I made it, I made it!
I used to dream about, the life I'm living now
I know that there's no doubt.
I made it, I made it!

I look up to the sky!
I made it! I made it!
I I I made it
I made it
I made it

Yes I did

Yes I did

Yes I did

Yes I did

Yes I did





I I I made it
