Make It Happen
The Record Company Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well I'm looking busted
Working for nothing
Who can be trusted
Oh I've been struggling
When the rent keep doubling
Cards keep shuffling
Gotta go out and get it baby
I'm tired of talking
Sitting and watching
Feels like I'm walking
On the brink of something
I think of myself as an honest man
The kind that never could deny
When I gotta keep going baby
I gotta keep moving on
Whoa oh, oh oh, oh oh
Let's make this happen
Gotta make it happen
Whoa oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Let's make this happen
Gotta make it happen
I slept through the landing
Tossing and fighting
I opened my eyes and
Oh it was inspiring
I think of myself as an honest man
The kind that never could deny
When I gotta keep going baby
I gotta keep moving on
When I gotta keep going baby
I got to keep moving on, yeah
Whoa oh, oh oh, oh oh
Let's make this happen
Gotta make it happen
Whoa oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Let's make this happen
Gotta make it happen
Let's make this happen
Gotta make it happen
I've got to keep going baby
I got to keep moving on
I got to keep going baby
I got to keep moving on woo
Whoa, no regret, no regret
We gotta live like we ain't there yet
Whoa, no regret, no regret
We gotta live like we ain't there yet
That's right!
Whoa, no regret, no regret
We gotta live like we ain't there yet (oh)
Whoa, no regret, no regret
We gotta live like we ain't there yet
Whoa oh, oh oh, oh oh
Let's make this happen
Gotta make it happen
Let's make this happen
Gotta make it happen
Let's make this happen
Gotta make it happen
Let's make this happen
Gotta make it happen
Let's make this happen
Gotta make it happen (gon' do, do, do, do, baby)
Let's make this happen
Gotta make it happen
The Record Company's "Make It Happen" is an upbeat, energetic song that calls on listeners to take action and pursue their dreams regardless of the obstacles they face. The lyrics open with the singer feeling down and out, working hard but not making progress, feeling like they're stuck in a rut. The repeated phrase, "Gotta make it happen," serves as their inspirational rally cry, urging them to keep pushing forward to achieve their goals.
As the song continues, we see the singer's attitude shift from one of defeat to one of determination. They're tired of talking about change and want to see results. The line "Let's make this happen" is repeated several times in the chorus, emphasizing the importance of taking action and making things happen, rather than waiting for them to happen on their own. The song ends with a call to live without regret and to keep striving for success.
Ultimately, "Make It Happen" is a song about perseverance and the power of positive thinking. It's a reminder that success is within reach, even when things seem tough, as long as we're willing to put in the work to make it happen.
Line by Line Meaning
Well I'm looking busted
I appear to be physically tired and unwell
Working for nothing
I am not being compensated for my efforts
Who can be trusted
I am skeptical of the reliability of others
Oh I've been struggling
I have been facing difficulties
When the rent keep doubling
My rent keeps increasing at a rapid rate
Cards keep shuffling
My circumstances keep changing in unpredictable ways
You want something
If you desire to achieve something
Gotta go out and get it baby
You must take action to attain your goals
I'm tired of talking
I am weary of conversation without action
Sitting and watching
Observing without participation
Feels like I'm walking
It seems as though I am slowly progressing
On the brink of something
I am near to reaching a significant achievement
I think of myself as an honest man
I perceive myself as being truthful and sincere
The kind that never could deny
A person who can never reject something that is true or favorable
When I gotta keep going baby
When I am required to persist
I gotta keep moving on
I must continue making progress
Let's make this happen
We should work hard to achieve our goals
Gotta make it happen
We must take action to reach our aims
I slept through the landing
I missed an opportunity to make significant progress
Tossing and fighting
I experienced internal conflict
I opened my eyes and
I became aware of something important
Oh it was inspiring
It was encouraging and motivating
Whoa, no regret, no regret
Let's move forward without remorse
We gotta live like we ain't there yet
We need to behave as if we have not yet achieved our goals
Let's make this happen (gon' do, do, do, do, baby)
We must take initiative to attain success

Sick and tired of X Factor wannabes making it just for a quick buck and bands like this get sidelined. Real music, real talent, real attitude! Brilliant.
