We Did It
Lecrae Moore, Jordan L'Oreal, Alexandria Dollar, Deandre Hunter, Ricky Offord
(Wait a minute, ooowee) yeah
They say that boy can't take the pressure, but they see that I did it
Mama, I finally learned my lesson, now we counting them digits
And I came out from the bottom and won't ever forget it
We did it, we did it, we did it, we did it
Hold on, my brothers, we got blessings on the way (we did it)
I told 'em clouds, "We gon' need some brighter days" (we did it)
And I knew that He would always make a way
Tell 'em we did it, we did it, we did it, we did it, yeah (ay)
A couple babies, couple cars, with the crib (we did it)
I took a trip out of the country on a whim (we did it)
And looked to everyone who told me I would lose, I'm winning
I was sleeping in a basement, I couldn't afford to pay rent (let's go)
Was grinding, wasn't no 9 to 5, I worked that 2 to 7
When you clock out in the morning that's that opposite of Heaven
Mama tripping, she like, "Boy, if you don't get up out my kitchen"
Plastic, forks and paper dishes, tryna make it out these trenches
I've been down, I've been low, gas on E, bills keep piling
I don't look like where I came from, had to put it on the line
I was working every day to make a way for me (a way for me)
Now, I know for sure that somebody was praying for me (yeah)
They say that boy can't take the pressure, but they see that I did it
Mama, I finally learned my lesson, now we counting them digits

Tell 'em we did it, we did it, we did it, we did it, yeah (ay)
I done came up, came down, southside, H-town
Shoutout to my day ones, all my dawgs that stayed down
Plenty people wishing I would fall on the way
My uncle told me, "Don't you start if you can't finish the race
And if you ain't gonna do it, right, then don't you do it at all" (at all)
I meditate for my balance, I used to stumble and fall
I had to double up the prayers, call on God for favor
Came from shooting dice, and now I'm shooting hoops with hall of famers
Things good, parked the Cadillac on 28th 'cause we hood
Barbecuing on the front lawn, we eat good
Was trying to make a way for me
Now I know for sure that somebody was praying for me (yeah)
They say that boy can't take the pressure, but they see that I did it

(Wait a minute, ooowee) yeah

Dicono che quel ragazzo non può sopportare la pressione, ma vedono che ce l'ho fatta
Mama, I finally learned my lesson, now we counting them digits
Mamma, ho finalmente imparato la mia lezione, ora stiamo contando quelle cifre
And I came out from the bottom and won't ever forget it

Ce l'abbiamo fatta, ce l'abbiamo fatta, ce l'abbiamo fatta, ce l'abbiamo fatta

I took a trip out of the country on a whim (we did it)
Ho fatto un viaggio fuori dal paese preso da una voglia improvvisa (ce l'abbiamo fatta)
And looked to everyone who told me I would lose, I'm winning
E ho guardato a tutti quelli che mi dicevano che avrei perso, sto vincendo
I was sleeping in a basement, I couldn't afford to pay rent (let's go)
Dormivo in un seminterrato, non potevo permettermi di pagare l'affitto (andiamo)
Was grinding, wasn't no 9 to 5, I worked that 2 to 7
Stavo macinando, non era un lavoro dalle 9 alle 5, lavoravo dalle 2 alle 7
When you clock out in the morning that's that opposite of Heaven
Quando timbri l'uscita al mattino è l'opposto del Paradiso
Mama tripping, she like, "Boy, if you don't get up out my kitchen"
Mamma impazzita, dice, "Ragazzo, se non esci dalla mia cucina"
Plastic, forks and paper dishes, tryna make it out these trenches
Plastica, forchette e piatti di carta, cercando di uscire da queste trincee
I've been down, I've been low, gas on E, bills keep piling
Sono stato giù, sono stato basso, gas su E, le bollette continuano ad accumularsi
I don't look like where I came from, had to put it on the line
Non sembro provenire da dove vengo, ho dovuto metterlo in gioco
I was working every day to make a way for me (a way for me)
Stavo lavorando ogni giorno per farmi strada (una via per me)
Now, I know for sure that somebody was praying for me (yeah)
Ora, so per certo che qualcuno stava pregando per me (sì)
They say that boy can't take the pressure, but they see that I did it
Dicono che quel ragazzo non può sopportare la pressione, ma vedono che ce l'ho fatta

Sono salito, sono sceso, lato sud, H-town
Shoutout to my day ones, all my dawgs that stayed down
Un saluto ai miei primi sostenitori, a tutti i miei cani che sono rimasti fedeli
Plenty people wishing I would fall on the way
Molte persone speravano che cadessi per strada
My uncle told me, "Don't you start if you can't finish the race
Mio zio mi ha detto, "Non iniziare se non puoi finire la gara
And if you ain't gonna do it, right, then don't you do it at all" (at all)
E se non lo farai bene, allora non farlo affatto" (affatto)
I meditate for my balance, I used to stumble and fall
Medito per il mio equilibrio, ero solito inciampare e cadere
I had to double up the prayers, call on God for favor
Ho dovuto raddoppiare le preghiere, chiamare Dio per un favore
Came from shooting dice, and now I'm shooting hoops with hall of famers
Sono passato dal tirare i dadi, a giocare a basket con i membri della Hall of Fame
Things good, parked the Cadillac on 28th 'cause we hood
Le cose vanno bene, ho parcheggiato la Cadillac al ventottesimo perché siamo di quartiere
Barbecuing on the front lawn, we eat good

I had to double up the prayers, call on God for favor
J'ai dû doubler les prières, appeler Dieu pour la faveur
Came from shooting dice, and now I'm shooting hoops with hall of famers
Je suis passé de tirer les dés à jouer au basket avec des membres du Hall of Fame
Things good, parked the Cadillac on 28th 'cause we hood
Les choses vont bien, j'ai garé la Cadillac sur la 28ème parce que nous sommes du quartier
Barbecuing on the front lawn, we eat good
Barbecue sur le devant de la maison, nous mangeons bien
Was trying to make a way for me
J'essayais de me faire un chemin
Now I know for sure that somebody was praying for me (yeah)
Maintenant je sais que quelqu'un priait pour moi (ouais)
They say that boy can't take the pressure, but they see that I did it

Mama, I finally learned my lesson, now we counting them digits
Maman, j'ai finalement appris ma leçon, maintenant nous comptons ces chiffres

I told 'em clouds, "We gon' need some brighter days" (we did it)

And I knew that He would always make a way
Et je savais qu'Il ferait toujours un chemin
Tell 'em we did it, we did it, we did it, we did it, yeah (ay)
Dis-leur qu'on l'a fait, on l'a fait, on l'a fait, on l'a fait, ouais (ay)

Sie sagen, dieser Junge kann den Druck nicht aushalten, aber sie sehen, dass ich es geschafft habe
Mama, I finally learned my lesson, now we counting them digits
Mama, ich habe endlich meine Lektion gelernt, jetzt zählen wir diese Ziffern
And I came out from the bottom and won't ever forget it
Und ich bin vom Boden aufgestiegen und werde es nie vergessen
We did it, we did it, we did it, we did it
Wir haben es geschafft, wir haben es geschafft, wir haben es geschafft, wir haben es geschafft

Haltet durch, meine Brüder, wir haben Segnungen auf dem Weg (wir haben es geschafft)
I told 'em clouds, "We gon' need some brighter days" (we did it)
Ich sagte den Wolken, „Wir brauchen hellere Tage“ (wir haben es geschafft)
And I knew that He would always make a way
Und ich wusste, dass Er immer einen Weg machen würde
Tell 'em we did it, we did it, we did it, we did it, yeah (ay)
Sagt ihnen, wir haben es geschafft, wir haben es geschafft, wir haben es geschafft, wir haben es geschafft, ja (ay)
A couple babies, couple cars, with the crib (we did it)
Ein paar Babys, ein paar Autos, mit dem Haus (wir haben es geschafft)
I took a trip out of the country on a whim (we did it)
Ich habe eine Reise ins Ausland auf einen Einfall gemacht (wir haben es geschafft)
And looked to everyone who told me I would lose, I'm winning
Und schaute auf jeden, der mir sagte, ich würde verlieren, ich gewinne
I was sleeping in a basement, I couldn't afford to pay rent (let's go)
Ich schlief in einem Keller, ich konnte die Miete nicht bezahlen (los geht's)
Was grinding, wasn't no 9 to 5, I worked that 2 to 7
War am Schleifen, war keine 9 bis 5, ich arbeitete von 2 bis 7
When you clock out in the morning that's that opposite of Heaven
Wenn du morgens ausstempelst, ist das das Gegenteil vom Himmel
Mama tripping, she like, "Boy, if you don't get up out my kitchen"
Mama flippt aus, sie sagt: „Junge, wenn du nicht aus meiner Küche rauskommst“
Plastic, forks and paper dishes, tryna make it out these trenches
Plastikgabeln und Papierteller, versuche aus diesen Schützengräben herauszukommen
I've been down, I've been low, gas on E, bills keep piling
Ich war unten, ich war niedergeschlagen, Gas auf E, Rechnungen stapeln sich
I don't look like where I came from, had to put it on the line
Ich sehe nicht aus wie der Ort, von dem ich komme, musste es auf die Linie setzen
I was working every day to make a way for me (a way for me)
Ich habe jeden Tag gearbeitet, um einen Weg für mich zu finden (einen Weg für mich)
Now, I know for sure that somebody was praying for me (yeah)
Jetzt weiß ich sicher, dass jemand für mich gebetet hat (ja)
They say that boy can't take the pressure, but they see that I did it
Sie sagen, dieser Junge kann den Druck nicht aushalten, aber sie sehen, dass ich es geschafft habe
Mama, I finally learned my lesson, now we counting them digits

Ich bin aufgestiegen, bin runtergekommen, Südseite, H-Stadt
Shoutout to my day ones, all my dawgs that stayed down
Shoutout an meine Day Ones, all meine Hunde, die unten geblieben sind
Plenty people wishing I would fall on the way
Viele Leute wünschen, dass ich auf dem Weg falle
My uncle told me, "Don't you start if you can't finish the race
Mein Onkel sagte mir: „Fang nicht an, wenn du das Rennen nicht beenden kannst
And if you ain't gonna do it, right, then don't you do it at all" (at all)
Und wenn du es nicht richtig machen willst, dann mach es gar nicht“ (gar nicht)
I meditate for my balance, I used to stumble and fall
Ich meditiere für meine Balance, ich bin gestolpert und gefallen
I had to double up the prayers, call on God for favor
Ich musste die Gebete verdoppeln, rief Gott um Gunst an
Came from shooting dice, and now I'm shooting hoops with hall of famers
Kam vom Würfelspiel, und jetzt spiele ich Basketball mit Hall of Famers
