Emerson Day - Gonna Make It lyrics

[Intro: John F. Kennedy] The dramatic achievements in space which have occurred in recent weeks Should have made clear to us all As did Sputnik in 1957 The impact of this invention in the minds of men everywhere Who are attempting to make a determination Of which road they should take [Verse 1: Paul Banks] A captain inspires, that's what they always say I'm gonna make it someday Reach for the skies, let the trees fall as they may I'm gonna make it someday I'm gonna make it someday Freeform disguise, that's how I kiss my prey I know I'll make it some day [Verse 2: RZA] Dangerous weapons, proceed at your own discretion There's no time for panic bu*tons or emergency exits Purge, surge, burn like electric or antiseptic on you germs There's no chance for paramedics This is ancient as the Vedic Hari Krishna Vishnu Move the black bishop Over the world like a guided missile We shall overcome over drums No one knows but when the time come Fa la so ti do k**er bee amigo Artillery c-note Fresh brewskies from distillery Cheery like a Cheerios cereal Eery like a lake full of bodies from the burial Delirium minds, striving material Substance accustomed to weakness to the inferior Trustin this poison that's pushed through the stereo Lustin for success, yes Never getting blessed, no Because they unwilling to fulfill the spiritual [Bridge: Paul Banks] It's a jungle of lies, I know how to clear my way I'm gonna make it some day [Hook: Paul Banks] Steep like leviathan, flow up like violence A stone in ocean A piece til you find you are known there Very known Very known Seep like leviathan, chosen like tyrant A stone in the ocean At peace til you find you are known there Very known Very known [Verse 3: RZA] Trapped inside this schism of capitalism Baptism, fascism, terrorism Knowing that all these ism's is just another prism Another prison designed to smother vision How can a child survive inside this world without his mother's wisdom For heaven's sake I been trapped in a pit of snakes Trying to speed ball through my life then I hit the brakes Made a right at the light Come to learn that the light expels the darkness It's like softness absorbs the hardness Are you King, Kennedy Malcolm X or Marcus Nazi or Marxist Narcissist or black caucus He said listen kid I'll be whatever it costed And I'mma be that way until my funds are exhausted He trusted on the cross, he was double crossed Kissing on the Bible, then he took it tossed it It's like a bad habit dag nabbit, he lost it The illusion of luxury man cannot afford it [Bridge: Paul Banks] Reach for the skies, it's a free fall all the way I'm gonna make it someday I'm gonna make it someday I'm gonna make it, I'm gonna make it I'm gonna make it, I'm gonna make it [Verse 4: RZA] Adolescents on those antidepressants No substance, no wisdom, they're lackin their essence Sex stressin, quickly undressin' Now knowin that their future is ruled by their present Don't know their lessons Don't bear witness to God while life is evidence They'd rather risk their lives for these old dead presidents And live in strife in the concrete settlement Never realizin that man means intelligence History's irrelevant, knowledge is relevant Righteousness benevolence, but don't be malevolent To those who try to teach you the truth, and bring you testaments Become the civilized and rise to pure excellence [Hook: Paul Banks] Steep like leviathan flow up like violence A stone in the ocean a piece til you find you are known there Very known Very known I'm gonna make it I'm gonna make it I'm gonna make it I'm gonna make it someday
