Maxi Priest - Try
Don't give it all before you take
Just step aside and watch a while
Be prepared to walk an extra mile
Flip the switch and check the groove
And now's the time to stop talk and move
Education is the only way
To learn to live to fight another day, hey
We can make it if we (try, try, try, try, try, try)
Who's the mathematician Jah Jah on a mission
(Try, try, try, try, try, try)
Don't get caught in no desperation
Use your skill from your ghetto I-ration
Feel the vibration
Some people see it astrologically
But I didn't get that from my trigga knowledgy
What a friend who would deceive
Use your faith when you believe
Thought he was a friend
The human love we thought was real
So off and on so what's the deal
Thought he was a friend, yeah
We can make it if we (try, try, try, try, try, try)
We can make it if we (try, try, try, try)
Now tell me, who's the mathematician
Jah Jah on a mission
(Work it out, work it out) Hey
Trying to find a way in this world of attrition
Jah Jah on a mission
(Work it out, work it out)
Keep it real
We gotta find a sanctuary
Flip into the 21st century
Keep it real and lose the fakes
Learn all your lessons from your own mistakes
Children now will come of age
Let's keep the love as we set the stage
Justice for all we can stand tall
No more comin' from back against the wall, hey
We can make it if we (try, try, try, try)
Who's the mathematician, Jah Jah on a mission
We can make it if we (work it out)
Who's the mathematician, Jah Jah on a mission
(Work it out, work it out)
We can make it if we try
We can make it if we try
We can make it if we try..
