Make It There Lyrics (feat. Amos Lee) by Amos Lee
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
So long ago the lines were drawn
People on the corner ’cause the jobs all gone
Money making deadly dreams
Two dollar hustles, million dollar schemes
Driftin’ through the usual routine
Caught in the red tape searchin’ for the green
Money making no respect
Tired of living check to check

Fear is taking over so watch over your shoulder
As the hour draws closer

If we can make it there, there’s gotta be a way somehow
If we can make it there, then we should do it now
Through our darkest days and endless nights
I can’t find my way, but I can see, I can see the light

Been looking for a better way
Seeking out the want ads nearly every day
No mission, man, don’t need advice
So sick of eating on these beans and rice
Still driftin’ through the usual routine
Caught in the red tape searchin’ for the green
Money making no respect
Tired of living check to check

Fear is taking over so watch over your shoulder
As the hour draws closer

If we can make it there, there’s gotta be a way somehow
If we can make it there, then we should do it now
Through our darkest days and endless nights
I can’t find my way, but I can see, I can see the light

I know I’ve been here before
Waiting on the wrong side of the door
Feels like day after day
Questions linger in my mind
Got me feeling left behind
Feel I’m driftin’ away

If we can make it there, there’s gotta be a way somehow
If we can make it there, then we should do it now
If we can make it there through our darkest days and endless nights

I can’t find my way, but I can see, I can see the light (repeat)
So long ago the lines were drawn   People on the corner ’cause the jobs all gone   Money making deadly dreams   Two dollar hustles, million dollar schemes   Driftin’ through the usual routine   Caught in the red tape searchin’ for the green   Money making no respect   Tired of living check to check      Fear is taking over so watch over your shoulder   As the hour draws closer      If we can make it there, there’s gotta be a way somehow   If we can make it there, then we should do it now   Through our darkest days and endless nights   I can’t find my way, but I can see, I can see the light      Been looking for a better way   Seeking out the want ads nearly every day   No mission, man, don’t need advice   So sick of eating on these beans and rice   Still driftin’ through the usual routine   Caught in the red tape searchin’ for the green   Money making no respect   Tired of living check to check      Fear is taking over so watch over your shoulder   As the hour draws closer      If we can make it there, there’s gotta be a way somehow   If we can make it there, then we should do it now   Through our darkest days and endless nights   I can’t find my way, but I can see, I can see the light      I know I’ve been here before   Waiting on the wrong side of the door   Feels like day after day   Questions linger in my mind   Got me feeling left behind   Feel I’m driftin’ away      If we can make it there, there’s gotta be a way somehow   If we can make it there, then we should do it now   If we can make it there through our darkest days and endless nights      I can’t find my way, but I can see, I can see the light (repeat)
