Relly the Emcee - Till The Break (feat. Raheem Devaughn)

Blessings
We done came a long way (whoo hoo)

My uncle d had me rapping at the age of three
B-bopping off rhythm tryna make a beat
By the age of 16 niggas can't compete
I would battle grown men never seen defeat
Always knew I had a gift but never acted on it
Turning pain into hunger kept my passion growing
Spit the hottest 16s with a nasty chorus
Dropped a bomb when my volume one landed on em
24 hour sessions ask Joe skeet
We was working straight shifts getting no sleep
Made ten thousand dollars spent it on beats
Exclusive rights don't no record labels on me
Pay my own dues, paid my own fees
Make my own moves made my own cheese
Often prayed for the day that I would make it
Then heard a voice send me comfirmation
It sounded like (whoo hoo oh)
Music to mt ears
Global distribution now my music everywhere
Yeah no doubt I'm on a path to be great
But I'm just tryna make it to the break gotta skate gone

God Bless the child that can hold his own
We done came a long way
Lots of sacrifice just to do my thing
I bet it all on the game
Hustle and flow, another day old
Now I lay me down to sleep
If I should die before I wake
Let me make it to the break

Got a foot up in the door linked wit yro
Clash party where I had my first live show
Took off I dropped letter 2 God
One hundred thousand views I though I was on
Was so wrong, me and chi put rebound bitch on worldstar
Radio rotation heard it from the jail wall
I felt like a star my cellmates was going off
Then watched it all fall that was solely my fault
My nigga Pete helped me cope when I lost hope
My spirit died uncle Charles at the crossroad
I was so uninspired when I came home
My nigga Day stayed on me to create songs
Mind still locked up like Akon
I escaped the broken dreams and dropped the boulevard
Hardest tape in the streets set the city off
My destiny had called and it sounded like (Aye)
Music to my ears, boom bap shit this that music you can feel
Yeah no doubt on on the course to win the race
But I'm just tryna make it to the break gotta skate gone

God Bless the child that can hold his own
We done came a long way
Lots of sacrifice just to do my thing
I bet it all on the game
Hustle and flow, another day old
Now I lay me down to sleep
If I should die before I wake
Let me make it to the break

I said I sacrificed it all the fails and the falls
Had to dust myself off and stand tall
Through it all
Let me make it to the break (god bless the child)
Let me make it to the break (ohh ohh)
I said I sacrificed it all the fails and the falls
Had to dust myself off and stand tall
Through it all (I bet it all on the game)

Me and phenix worked for hours on the resurrection
Rolling Og and sipping scotch every session
A masterpiece perfection
A classic it was special
A different sound for me but my fans was so receptive
Dropped that 1st 48 now my flow respected
In my city living legend I'm the goat forever
Raised the bar ain't nobody spitting on this level
I found that hidden treasure and it sounded like (whoo hoo oh)
Music to my ears and dollar signs
Streaming royalties from iTunes and Spotify
No lie I had obstacles to face
But somehow I made it to the break
Now I'm straight gone

God Bless the child that can hold his own
We done came a long way
Lots of sacrifice just to do my thing
I bet it all on the game
Hustle and flow, another day old
Now I lay me down to sleep
If I should die before I wake
Let me make it to the break

Can I make it to the break
Can I make it to the break oh noo
Can I make it to the break
Can I make it to the break huh
