Letra Still I've Got To Make It de Reisa L. Gerber original

Still I've Got to Make It (On My Own)

Does someone understand
What ir's like to be alone?
Still I can't make demands,
Out here on my own.
Dig those crazy notions
Material devotions
Still I've got to make it on my own.

I tried to sing my songs,
But I was rejected.
Where did I go wrong?
I'm feeling so neglected.
Bleep their nomenclature,
It's my 'pink flash yellow' nature,
Still, I've got to make it on my own.
So I'm caught in the middle of a value clash
And nothing shines like cold hard cash!
Though 'I try' and 'I can't',
I must make my way!
All I really need are the people to play for.

My art can fill this void, it's such an undertaking.
People get annoyed,
But my heart is breaking.
I've got a buried treasure,
To bring the people pleasure,
Still I've got to make it,
Somehow, I'm gonna make it,
Yes, I'm gonna make it on my own.
