[Intro: Mr. Dalvin] |
|
DeVante, K-Ci, Mr. Dalvin, JoJo |
|
And it's on, still on, uh |
|
[Verse 1: K-Ci, Mr. Dalvin] |
|
Way back in 1989, I believe it was |
|
We packed up DeVante’s car and headed up north |
|
A little money in our pockets, but that didn’t stop us |
|
We had to leave, oh yeah |
|
Leaving our family behind back home |
|
It was so sad but we said “Mama, we’re gone” |
|
We were leaving in a rush — mama, don’t fuss |
|
We just wanna succeed — yes, we do (Come on) |
|
[Chorus: Jodeci, K-Ci] |
|
For those who thought we, wouldn’t make it (Uh) |
|
But we had to, ‘cause we had our made up mind (Yeah) |
|
(And you know who you are) |
|
Success is not hard to find |
|
(Have a little faith and you will go far) (Uh) |
|
For those who thought we, wouldn’t make it |
|
But we had to, ‘cause we had our made up mind |
|
(No one could stop us, no, no) |
|
Success is not hard to find |
|
(We had to go, we had to go) |
|
(Come on) |
|
[Verse 2: K-Ci, Mr. Dalvin] |
|
We rolled around the Big Apple all night long (Uh) |
|
Every time listening to our demo song |
|
Not a place to sleep, nothing was cheap |
|
But we still drove on — yes, we did (Uh) |
|
Ended up in this motel far out away |
|
Didn’t really care, we were still gonna stay |
|
‘Cause we’re living life, we wasn’t gonna cry |
|
There was always the next day |
|
You just gotta believe it, yes you do, yes you do |
|
[Chorus: Jodeci, K-Ci] |
|
For those who thought we (For those who thought we), wouldn’t make it (Wouldn't make it) |
|
But we had to (Yeah, yeah), ‘cause we had our made up mind |
|
(No one could stop us, no, no) |
|
Success is not hard to find |
|
(No, no, no, no, no, I said nobody, nobody) |
|
For those who thought we (Thought we), wouldn’t make it (Wouldn't make it) |
|
But we had to, ‘cause we had our made up mind |
|
(Well, well, well, well) |
|
Success is not hard to find |
|
(Don’t you know we just gotta keep moving on) |
|
[Bridge: Jodeci, K-Ci] |
|
Now we just gotta keep on |
|
(Singing your favorite song) |
|
Singing your favorite song |
|
(Song after song after song) |
|
Getting you up on your feet |
|
(Everybody get on up) |
|
Moving you to a beat |
|
(Can you feel it?) |
|
[Interlude: Mr. Dalvin & K-Ci] |
|
To our families, to our fans |
|
For everybody who supported us |
|
Thank you |
|
Sincerely yours, Jodeci |
|
(Ha, we're not gonna leave it alone, no, no) |
|
Peace |
|
(Confidence too high) |
|
Jodeci, sing |
|
[Chorus: Jodeci, K-Ci] |
|
For those who thought we (For those who thought we), wouldn’t make it (Wouldn't make it) |
|
But we had to, ‘cause we had our made up mind |
|
(We drove for twelve long hours) |
|
Success is not hard to find |
|
(Looking for a place to sleep, looking for a place to eat) |
|
For those who thought we (Ooh yeah), wouldn’t make it (Oh) |
|
But we had to, ‘cause we had our made up mind (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) |
|
Success is not hard to find (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) |
|
For those who thought we, wouldn’t make it (Yeah) |
|
But we had to, ‘cause we had our made up mind |
|
(Most of all, we love each other) |
|
Success is not hard to find |
