Gonna Make It

Everywhere I been, I been learning

How to get to wherever I am

And where I am is where I'm going

And I'm going to the promised land

I don't always know my direction

But in faith and Love I overstand

That if I ask up for guidance

I'm guided by the almighty hand

And every time I'm feeling inspired

I take my guitar in my two hands

Jah Love is all that I man require

To reach that holy Zion land

And I won't let them take it away

No I man, I won't be led astray

And I don't need to ride nobody's coattails

And I don't need no one to hold my hand

I'm gonna make it on my own two feet

I'm gonna make it on my blood, sweat and tears

I'm gonna make it, not gonna fake it, no way

They said get a degree but it wasn't for me

Higher education of the Almighty through music

Teach me Love, teach me to use it

All I ever wanted was to spread Jah Love

And the only way that I could rise above was music

Sweet Jah reggae music

So every note I plays is to give praise

That's why I play guitar and I sing

And I wouldn't trade these blisters on my fingers for no diamond rings

I sing just for the Love of Jah music

To lift you up when you are tattered and worn

And if I sound a little bit hoarse it's

Cause I been singing since the day I was born

And I just wanna sing a little bit more

And I'm sure that you can feel me

Don't need you to know just where I'm coming from

But I need you to feel me

So take it and make it your own song

And don't you let them take it away

No don't you let them lead you astray

You're gonna make it on your own two feet

You're gonna make it on your blood, sweat and tears

You're gonna make it, not gonna fake it, no way

I will never sell my soul to them

So many already givin' in, dem a caught up in confusion

Suffering delusions

All this dirt that we been digging in

Searching for something that we will never find

Oh mankind we can't let them take it away

We won't let them lead us astray

And we don't need no president to lead us

And we don't need no general to take a stand

We're gonna make it on our own two feet

We're gonna make it on our blood, sweat and tears

We're gonna make it, not gonna fake it, no way

Can you feel me, my heart pumping in my chest

Can you feel me, oh people please say yes

I need you to feel me, this is the real me

The reason I'm singing, the Love that I'm bringing is pure, unfiltered for sure

Cause in my mind I saw a vision of peace

Every man, every woman, every child, one family

All singing together in one perfect harmony

It's not so far away, we're gonna make it someday
