Yeah, this song right here is about a young man   Who's endured a lot of twists and turns in his life   'Cause he always kept his head up, stayed focused   This man's name is Mario Winans, listen      What makes you think I can't make it?   Put me to the test, I'll take it   I've been through more trials but I've overcome all of them   And I've never been one for fakin'   I kept on movin' and shakin' and that's how I made it      I've seen it all but I never let no one   Tell me what's right, when it's wrong   'Cause I heard it all before   And it gives me a reason to fight for a right for, to do what I gotta do      What makes you think I can't make it?   Put me to the test, I'll take it   I've been through more trials but I've overcome all of them   And I've never been one for fakin'   I kept on movin' and shakin' and that's how I made it      All of my life I was told that you had to go through   Just to get where you want and if you come across a storm   You just gotta keep holdin' on and stay strong   And do what you gotta do      What makes you think I can't make it?   Put me to the test, I'll take it   I've been through more trials but I've overcome all of them   And I've never been one for fakin'   I kept on movin' and shakin' and that's how I made it      Check it out, yo, hey yo, hey yo   I came from the bottom, worked my way up   Ran wit big dudes, had to get my weight up   Now my cake up, now it's lights, cameras, make up   Trips to Jacob, foreign countries      Reminisce of times when we all was hungry   Now I made it, know y'all niggaz that hate it   Seeing that I sound like Mase and   Knowing that I came from the basement, did my own thing, so face it      Now they coming wit cases, now with this hand I'm racist   I'm so close I can taste it   Sometimes I just want to grab, toast and take it   But I'm a keep moving and shaking   Stay true to my faith and I ain't worried about you, I'm a make it      What makes you think I can't make it?   Put me to the test, I'll take it   I've been through more trials but I've overcome all of them   And I've never been one for fakin'   I kept on movin' and shakin' and that's how I made it
