Lyrics

Verse 1:
Let's go on and get into it; this is inspiration for those who rose when the haters
said you couldn't do it
As if the obstacle was too large and you couldn't move it
Listen here you came too far to make excuses
See those who doubt you, obviously don't know about you
Or see that little glow around you
This here is aimed at you pessimists
Who only sit back, whine, complain, and second guess
The risk involved; sometimes you've gotta walk by faith and not sight
And just risk it all
When you're fed up and tired of waiting
Ready to wake up and triumph over those who lay dormant and still hibernating
They won't sleep through this one; they need to see you've risen
That's something we can teach the children
From the hoods to the college dorms, since the day you were born
You've been destined to make it through the storm

chorus: You can make, make it through the storm
repeat

Verse 2:
I thrive off the deepest emotion, and even though I rise
my concentration's still deep as the ocean
I could've sworn they learned not to play with fire
Now they're dumping gas on it? That's how I stay inspired
Heart of a lion, eye of the tiger
Wings of an eagle so I soar even higher
Join me high up above sea level
Way above the clouds you can hear my voice echo
Let's go; no time like the present
Cuz present means gift and every gift is a blessing
When you're feeling low cuz the waters get rough
And you feel you've had enough and you ought to give up
Rise like the sun in the east in the morning
Let the world know you're a beast go ahead warn 'em
And when it starts storming, remember that
pain may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning

chorus: You can make, make it through the storm
repeat

Verse 3:
Anybody feel like you're going through hell?
With your back against the wall folks hoping you fail?
Ain't no way you're supposed to prevail, says who?
So called experts? They've been misled too
Got it twisted, a large percentage of people in your same position
But they ain't got the heart to risk it
When your chance comes show em you're too smart to miss it, seize it
Carpe diem, your fate is in your hands squeeze it
That's the thing that turns victims to survivors
We all wanna talk but those who listen are the wisest
Be like the phoenix that rises, above all else
Cuz anything that comes between us divides us
Ask me we're all on the same team, from hoods to the trailer parks
In essence we're fighting for the same thing
To be a champion and live comfortably
Haters wanna see you fail; don't give 'em the luxury

bridge: Anybody feeling like you just can't make it
Your back's against the wall and you just can't take it
Keep your head to the sky
Spread your wings and fly

chorus: You can make, make it through the storm
repeat
