Through It All Lyrics - Written by Igloo
(Intro)
It’s Igloo with another one/
Ok, I’m back/
And yall know what that means/
It means you should/
(Verse 1)
Holla one time for everybody struggling/
Two times if they tryna act to counteract the poverty factor by drug smuggling/
I know you don’t wanna be in trouble with/ (the law)
But you gotta hustle in/ (the world)
If you plan on doublin your worth and getting somewhere/
Plus your girl havin your kid soon, you gotta prepare/ (man)
You gotta be there/ (man) Life is unfair/
It put us in bad situations and leaves us stranded/
Understand that you’re branded by your experiences and that’s/
Based on how you handle them/ If you can/
You’re a man now/ So light some candles/
For those who’ve passed/
Then look past the past to the future/
Look forward, not back/
Towards the message of truth I/
Forward to you through rap/
This advise is freely given/ Listen to the music driven/
By realistic lyricism/
Envision not wishin you weren’t livin in imprisoned conditions/
Believe there’s better/
Boo it’s true, you finna do whatever you want whenever/ cuz
(Hook)
I know I can make it through it all/
Anything I wanna do, I know I can do it all/
Nothing can hold me down, I choose to smile, not frown/
I’m gonna live my life/
I know I can make it through it all/
Do it all, get to it all/
I knew it all along, do it wrong and then I sing this song/
And it’s alright/
(Post Hook)
It’s Igloo with another one/
Haha, imagine that/
(Verse 2)
Do like Nas and Quan said/
Can we please pour out some more liquors/
For all the people who are now long dead cuz of pulled triggers/
Look at family pictures, take some time to reminice/
Bout the people who still should be with us, but who now are missed/
To my father, I love ya, now that you’re high above us/
I know that you’re at peace, I pray for you and all others/
Tupac, Jam Master Jay of course/
B-I-G, G-I-E, S-M-A- double L-S, I wish those slugs ain’t hit your chest/
You shouldn’t have to wear a vest, as self-protection from a Tek/
But I try my best not to fear death, because I know it’s the next step/
I gotta live my life the best way I can live, give it all I can give it/
Accept, respect, then forget about the rest/
If I can pass the test, that’s the life between birth and death/
If I can be worth something to someone and make a difference/
If I know that I’ve accomplished everything that I can/
Then I know with my last breath, there’ll be a smile on my face/ cuz
(Hook)
(Post Hook)
(Verse 3)
I’ll admit it, at first my wishes were for riches/
But then I pictured how many people who were livin their visions/
Of getting dividends were giving men, women and children stitches/
You want evidence, see the empty shell cartridges/
Can’t we go back to partridges in pear trees, 12 days of Christmas/
Innocence of childhood, instead of drawing blood/
From each other like vampires for power/
Together make good for each other, leave a taste in the mouth of another/
That’s real sweet, not bitter or sour/
It’s our hour to tower, not cower/
Shower children with love and knowledge, they blossom like flowers
You know how a lotta people want money, power, respect/
Reverse it, respect is first, then power comes next/
Money should come after, laughter is a cure/
For almost anything, it helps to keep your whole soul pure/
People set lures, kick you to trip you to get you to fall/
But just keep your head up, you can get up and make it through it all/ cuz
(Hook)
(Outro)
You see, if I fall, I know I can get back up/
I know I can make it man/ cuz
(Hook)
(Post Hook)
