lyrics

I’ve been walkin’ on this pavement.
And I’m stressin, lookin’ depressing because I gotta pay rent.
But if I make it through April and pay my May rent?
I gotta call my Mom and tell that bitch I made it.

I made it. I made it.
I not only made rent, I fuckin’ paid it.
I made it. I made it.
I not only made my rent I mother fuckin paid it.

Yo Ma! (Hey!) It’s me. Your dope-ass son.
Callin’ to tell you that I made it to the first of the month.
I work as hard as I can. I hustle all over town.
I’m wakin’ up with the sun and I’m not done till it’s down.

And WOO! This month I cut it close.
But I made some extra money washing cars with a hose.
People ask me how I’m getting my work.
I tell em’ find me up on Craigslist goin’ berzerk

I’m walkin’ doggies in the morning, waiting tables at night.
Sometimes I dress up like a taco and I carry a sign.

I saw my ex last week while I was dressed as a taco,
I said hello, she pretended not to see me. I cried.

I made it. I made it.
I not only made rent, I fuckin’ paid it.
I made it. I made it.
Mostly cause I had a fat tax return!

Savin’ when I do my taxes (taxes)
My accountant’s name is Gladys (Gladys)
She helps me do all my deductions so that my return is lookin’ like the fattest (fattest)
That it can possibly be (woo)
Gladys lookin’ out for me (Gladys)
Savin’ up all my receipts for the government, trying to get it for free (WOO)

Write it off, write it off.
Getting whatever I want and I
Write it off, write it off.
I’m buyin’ all kinds of shit.

New shirt (Write it off)
Dessert (Write it off)
A massage ‘cause my shoulder kinda hurts (Write it off)

Sunday morning yoga (Write it off)
Tattoo of Yoda (Write it off)
The extra that I paid for guacamole at Chipotle (Write it off)

Write it off, Write it off
Getting whatever I want and I
Write it off, write it off
I’m buyin’ all kinds of shit

Some people spend their whole returns in a day.
I keep mine in the bank until the first week of May.
So I can tell you that

I made it. I made it.
I not only made rent, I fuckin’ paid it.
I made it. I made it.
I not only made my rent I mother fuckin paid it.

Bad news. Gladys fucked up
She made a couple deductions she wasn’t allowed to deduct.
Now the government is asking me for thousands of bucks.
And a rent check’s due at the top of the month. FUCK!

Now I’m in trouble, so I make a call to my Mom. (Ring ring)
And tell her I’m sorry, that I called her a bitch at the top of the song. (I didn’t mean it)
She forgives me, and she helps me pay my debt.
Uncle Sam can suck it, my Mom is the best!

And it’s because of her
I made it, I made it,
I called my Mom she helped me make my rent and then I paid it.
I made it, I made it,
My mommy helped me make my rent I mother fuckin’ paid it. WOO
