[Verse 1]
Now my people think that I just fake it
I know I do things they don't understand
So I've got to show 'em I can take it, yeah
I've got to show 'em I can be a man
Still there's some things that never have appeal to me
Like standing out in front of the crowd
Well, my people now you just wait and see
I'm gonna give you a reason to be proud
[Chorus]
I'm gonna make it someday
I'm gonna make it somehow
Then I'll be able to say
People look at me out now
Yeah, look at me now
[Verse 2]
Well now my woman thinks I'm just a dreamer
And she's right about me I suppose
But I could never, never, never be a schemer
I don't know the things a schemer knows
But I do know there's a better day coming up soon
Baby just you wait and see
I'll find us some light in this darkness
If a-you just have faith in me
[Chorus]
I'm gonna make it someday, yeah
Gonna make it somehow
I'll be able to say
Baby look at me out now
Well look at me now
Look at me now
Come look at me now
[Outro]
Yeah, I'm gonna make it someday
Lay right on up in there somehow
