Make It Away Lyrics by John River

The Academy

2019

[Verse 1]
Niggas see you flapping and they wish you never fly
My nigga started trapping I just wish you never died
Mom I see you scrapping I just wish you never cried
And girl I know you clapping I just wish you never lied
Then you sit and wonder why, all I ever do is fuck you
My dick might lust you but its impossible to trust you
The day that I fucked you fuck I felt the burn
Put on a condom on my dick the lesson I was bout to learn
Pull it out without the sperm, that’s dangerous living
Five dollars in my tank but I would say I was driven
Just relaying the vision to get my momma off this property
And buy nigga clothes to start interviewing properly
They say you dress sloppily you just can’t afford the tie
Or new shoes and dress shirt you can’t afford to buy
But can’t afford to cry, when you poor you gotta fake it
Is you frontin nigga? nah this just practice for when I

[Chorus]
Make it a way, Just so I could make it a way
Just so I could make it a way, Just so I could make it a way
Just so I could make it a way, Just so I could make it a way
If I ever meet God I wonder what I would say?
Will I tell him I strayed Just so I could make it a way
Just so I could make it a way, Just so I could make it a way

[Verse 2]
The minute I shook ya hand my nigga I felt the tension
I know you think I’m dissing that was never my intention
Every time you wanna hang I say never got the time
Just don’t want to be the man who said I never got my shine And end up finishing second or not make it out section
Look lately I’ve been sinking in depression and thinking bout the
Question, of how the fuck we end up on this planet?
And If I can die tomorrow, nigga what’s the point in planning? The thoughts I leave stranded, that I don’t got the answer for And if I get to heaven I probably got a lot to answer for
Shit, just a bit, of the stress on my dome, I didn’t
Text I was home? Well apologies I must admit I’m not the
Best on my phone nigga, I hope you know it’s not personal
We all got a life I’m trying to make this shit purposeful
So fuck that apprehension let me take it away
Your still my nigga I’m blowing up and coming back

[Chorus]
Make it a way, Just so I could make it a way
Just so I could make it a way, Just so I could make it a way
Just so I could make it a way, Just so I could make it a way
If I ever meet God I wonder what I would say?
Will I tell him I strayed Just so I could make it a way
Just so I could make it a way, Just so I could make it a way

[Verse 3]
This is for my black girls believing in nothing
They say your heads nappy and your weave is disgusting
You read the discussions on Instagram and reddit
And you tried to tell your man except he don’t really get it When white girls got an ass we shower them with gratitude
If it’s black we say its fat, and that it’s got too much latitude
Only date white girls nigga they don’t mad at you
And fuck darkskins they got way too much attitude
First two girls I fucked? Neither of which were black
It took me a while to realize the media was wack
And indeed it did impact, the direction of my glancing
Like why Kelly Rowland just ain’t hot as Scarlett Johansson
Apologies to all the black girls I didn’t date
I showed up to the party I must admit though I was late
Look you’re beautiful don’t ever let them take that away
You don’t need a man to validate or help you

[Chorus]
Make it a way, Just so I could make it a way
Just so I could make it a way, Just so I could make it a way
Just so I could make it a way, Just so I could make it a way
If I ever meet God I wonder what I would say?
Will I tell him I strayed Just so I could make it a way
Just so I could make it a way, Just so I could make it a way

[Outro]
