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
