it
You know how I do it, like the Doc do it
I fly through it, that's how I operated
Momma, I made it
Ghetto like the grease when
you gettin' your [Em]hair braided
Sweeter than your [Am]sister's
Kool [Dm]Aid is

[Verse 3]
Hooray, it's the underdog now,
my feet under desk
I'm the presidential favorite
Can't believe I got away with
my earlier [C]stages
To bein' on [Em]stages,
havin' my [Am]way with t[Dm]he world

[Verse 4]
Congratulations,
your baby boy's a made man
I'ma hold the fam down at least
3 generations
I'm talkin' when spaceships are around
And your great great grands
Remin[Em]iscin' about
foundation [Am]you gave 'em
For [Dm]repairin' my relationship

[Verse 5]
with
my pops before he passed
All I ask is you raise your glass
in this celebration
[Em]Toast [Dm]to the most beautiful girl in the world
My inspira[Em]tion,
thanks for the in[Am]formation
[Dm]Momma, I made

[Verse 6]
[G]it[C]
[G]Momma, I made [Em]it[Am]
[Dm]Home became

[Verse 7]
where it ain't
everyday that you make it out
To be on top of yachts wavin'
I remember you savin' for the light bill
Paid the rent [Em]with a light bill
Now our crib dark as a [Am]basement
Had [Dm]to lock up the phone

[Verse 8]
when you wasn't home
We was communicatin' like the money
you made wasn't basic
Our cable was basic,
[Em]no HBO, WHT
Just Ralph McDaniels on the [Am]sta tion
[Dm]I aggravated

[Verse 9]
you for Atari and
ColecoVision
Pinstripe Lee's when the first
day of school [C]came
And [Em]I was [Dm]okay with
not havin' everything
Long as Saturdays [Em]you
had The Commodores play[Am]in'
The ex[Dm]pression on your

[Verse 10]
face
was priceless
It's still with me 'til this day,
baby girl, I won't erase it
I go to my grave with the memory
of the [Em]sacrifice [C]you made
[Em]You deserve a standin' ova[Am]tion
[Dm]Momma, I made

[Verse 11]
[G]it[C]
[G]Momma, I made [Em]it[Am]
[Dm]Momma, I made it

[Verse 12]
Now your lil' misfit makes sure every [Dm]day
is Christmas
Write out your wishlist, sixes,
wrist is glistenin'
You don't even like jewels
[Em]But you could get missin'
[Am]anywhere [Dm]you like to

[Verse 13]
Where the water's light blue
Anything you order,
sign it to your nice room
Leave a extra tip, Ma,
be extra nice to 'em
CEO, of Carter Found[Em]ation
Wow, [Am]I know Pop [Dm]lookin' down

[Verse 14]
I know Colleek somewhere
up in the clouds
Like, "Go get 'em, Grandma,
make [Em]me proud"
[Dm]Didn't have a man in [Em]the house,
so you [Dm]made one
So [Em]I act like your husband
and [Am]I'm only your son
[Dm]I told

[Verse 15]
you one day,
I'll get you a home
I didn't know it could
possibly be in Rome
Told me don't wait on nobody,
[Em]get your o[C]wn
So [Em]with me, myself and my [Am]micro[Dm]phone,
I [G]made [C]it
[F]Momma, I made

[Verse 16]
[G]it[Em][Am]
[Dm]Momma, I made it
