[Maino:]
Just when I started to feel like there was no more hope-is when hope presented it self.
And just like that my life changed.
Man, so I guess tomorrow really did come.
Yeah, tomorrow's here
Ohhh!
Yea, look at me now!
That's right
I'm happy baby
Lets celebrate
[Hook:]
Stand up now
Hands up now
Look at me baby
I dun came up now
We dun came too far to give up now
Pop more bottles lets do it up now
Celebrate it!
Celebrate it!
It's a holiday nigga I made it!
Celebrate it!
Celebrate it!
It's a holiday nigga I made it!
[Verse 1:]
Yea, feel the wind breeze
See the palm trees
I could feel the clouds in a drop GT
Who would ever think I would make it out the street?
My whole life around drugs and the Police
Remember nights I was stuck in a jail yard
When I couldn't see the sun through the cell bars
Now my whole world changed and it feels odd
Can't believe it, this is what I tell God
I made it, upgraded, man I found me a dream and I chased it
I was wasting time in and out of cages
Now I'm in that S6, feels like a spaceship
We gon drink for my homies cuz they ain't here
One more for my niggaz in the pen, yea
I coulda been a ghost but I'm still here
Can't forget where I come from, hell yea
[Hook:]
Stand up now
Hands up now
Look at me baby
I dun came up now
We dun came too far to give up now
Pop more bottles lets do it up now
Celebrate it!
Celebrate it!
It's a holiday nigga I made it!
Celebrate it!
Celebrate it!
It's a holiday nigga I made it!
[Verse 2:]
To the top now
Im a pop now
I got both feet planted
Can't stop now
Mo' money, fast women is my lifestyle
Look at me buying everything I like now
Never thought that I would turn my life round
It's like a crap game, couldn't put the dice down
I was hopeless, heart broke, and guilty
I was raised off of oatmeal and grilled cheese
If you been where I been you gotta feel me
An example of what a street dream means
Man I made something out of nothing
Started out hand to hand on the block pumping
Look at me now CO, you see me now PO?
I dun came up, now I'm CEO
Career criminal, against all odds
I climbed out the dirt, now I glow with the stars
[Hook:]
Stand up now
Hands up now
Look at me baby
I dun came up now
We dun came too far to give up now
Pop more bottles lets do it up now
Celebrate it!
Celebrate it!
It's a holiday nigga I made it!
Celebrate it!
Celebrate it!
It's a holiday nigga I made it!
[Verse 3:]
You wanna eat Duke?
Nigga me too
I cant preach to you if I can't feed you
I'll tell you what though
I hope these words reach you
Cuz you never know where life'll lead you
We gon party for my niggaz that died young
Too soon, never seen the other side son
I got homies that been locked up since 9-1
And I'm thinking man, that could've been my life son
Floatin in that big body Benz
Starin at the stars
Look how lucky I am
I could've been dead
I could've been gone
I guess I am blessed, look at where I came from
[Hook:]
Stand up now
Hands up now
Look at me baby
I dun came up now
We dun came too far to give up now
Pop more bottles lets do it up now
Celebrate it!
Celebrate it!
It's a holiday nigga I made it!
Celebrate it!
Celebrate it!
It's a holiday nigga I made it! [Repeat]
