If You Want It

(album: Everyday Life, Everyday People - 2018)

If you want it
Lord, you can have it now
In any way you want to go
And if you need it
Reach right out and grab it, love
Some acting like they never know

Respect is given where respect is due
[?] carry you through
Respect for them becomes respect for you
Mark my words and everybody know it's true
Harder you come will be dem harder you fall
Said you wanna back, they're singing "come on, come on"
Some others knowing when dem back 'gainst the wall
While we never see them fighting for the truth

And if you want it
Then you can have it, love
It's any way you want to go
And if you need it
Reach right out and grab it, love
Some acting like they never know
But if you want it
Then you can have it, love
It's any way you want to go

Some them coming, said they pick up them [?]
Saying that they're the best, that they're better than the rest
My lovers know there will be no contest
While others going like they on the one man show
Some never listening and some never learn
[?] to the fire and they bound to get burned
They think they know that love is something that's earned
They've gone astray and then they never to return

Well, if you want it
Lord, you can have it now
It's any way you want to go
And if you need it
Reach right out and grab it, love
Some acting like they never know

Things that we say for some people sounds outrageous
Hard as them live it and take it as contagious
Some other laugh and think you're just hilarious
Some other feel it and praise you like a savior
The harder they come, so the harder they fall
The weaker their mind, [?]
Respect must be given to one and to all
My message: spread the [?]

Some, they coming only with humbleness
Never can be no stress, how they living is righteous
The man with love is the one that Jah bless
Everything else in dem life, it will follow
Some, they coming only strictly with love
Like the Lord up above, see, it's unconditional, it
Is the way we should all be thinking of
That's the way and that would be one mission road

Well, if you want it
Lord, you can have it now
It's any way you want to go
And if you need it
Reach right out and grab it, love
Some acting like they never know
Lord, if you want it
Then you can have it now
It's any way you want to go
And if you need it
Reach right out and grab it now
Some acting like they never know
Some acting like they never know
Some acting like they never know
