Huh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh yeah
[Chorus]
I've got to make it, I've got to make it
Someway, somehow
I've got to make it, I've got to make it
Someway, somehow

You can make it if you try
You will make it, oh yeah

When I was a boy
My grandmother said to me
"Son, if you want to earn your meal
You have got to turn the wheel"
[Chorus]
So I've got to make it, I've got to make it
Somehow
You can make it, you can make it
If you try
[Verse 2]
Oh come, let's make it here one day
Come, let's try, come, let's try
We will make it somehow, someway, somehow
Come, on brother, come on, sister
Come, let's help me turn the wheel (Oh yeah)
[Bridge]
Huh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh yeah
Huh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh yeah
[Outro]
I have got to make it, I've got to make it
You can make it, you can make it
Come, let's try, come, let's try
Oh-oh-oh-oh yeah
We're going to make it somehow, somehow
