Baby
You’ve got the makings
Of a man
You’ve just got to put your pen to paper
And keep
Making
You’ve just got to lift your weight
You’ve just got to break it
To make it stronger
You could have it just like all the others
If you want it
If you try
You could make the mark you always wanted
If you want it
If you try
What I mean is you know you’re a pilot, right?
You’ve a say alongside whims of life
Make a head-start to not suffer twice
And if we fly on, take us over the water
Baby
You’ve got the face of
Your mother mostly
And the hoods of your father
Don’t you know you’ve got a good one on you?
It will do for what you need and no more
Lucky we aren’t like them, we’ve got a good thing
Going on the undercarriage of something
I say, one day it won’t shake like this
You’ll get your crop when you stop fussing it
And you’ll be you still in the thick of it
And in thickets, you, now, thinking it
You know I’m just having a laugh
We’re covered in grass
But we got some sun on us
And this is just the type of stuff
That grows you up
So don’t think it’s lost on us
My baby
Can you make it?
Uh-huh
Good luck
Can you make it
Alone?
You are
Can you use what God gave you?
You are
Can you make it?
Uh-huh
You can make it
