Respond To Yourself
by Gentleman
never let them take away your joy
or your motivation will destroy
your very soul dem try to break into
your joy and happiness all that dem takin too
your whole life they hae been mistakin you
where is the sense of life and there is no appreciatin you
dem and those that will be hating you
but the things will happen that will change your point of view
every one has got to have there waterloo
and wondering now what we have to do
now you respond to yourself
embrace the change and find a way to yourself
and now you hear dem bawl and a call
dem want it all
rising to the challenge never fall
respond to yourself
embrace the change and find a way to yourself
and now you hear dem bawl and a call
dem want it all
rising to the challenge never fall
on your inside journey
thoughts appear more clearly
and you won't weary
truth and not theory earning the future sincerly
overcome the bondage of your daily life
its the simple things that happen make it right
what a joy providing for your kids and wife
and me moving on towards the light
now you respond to yourself
embrace the change and find a way to yourself
and now you hear dem bawl and a call
dem want it all
rising to the challenge never fall
respond to yourself
embrace the change and find a way to yourself
and now you hear dem bawl and a call
dem want it all
rising to the challenge never fall
to live above and not below
like a river never ending flow
just like a seed we should always grow
the longer we live the more we should know
absorbing all the tings we feel
connected to the force unseen
just unfair with every living being
hold on to your hopes and dreams
don't let nobody intervene
now you respond to yourself
embrace the change and find a way to yourself
and now you hear dem bawl and a call
dem want it all
rising to the challenge never fall
respond to yourself
