Now’s the Time - Eddie Jefferson

lafee - now's the time
i never thougt i could get this far
i still hear them say "no chance, no way"
and they said "she ain't too smart
she ain't got what it takes, this girl is bound to fail"
i almost bought that **** but i ain't gonna quit
now's the time
the time to lay it on the line
the time for me to say and do whatever's on my mind
i will fight for my right, will defend my way of life
come hell or high water
the time has come for me to shine
whatever they may say, i ain't gonna break my stride
i will make the world see you can realize your dreams
in the eye oft the storm but i ain't scared
cause after the storm there'll be calm somewhere
an army of thousands pissin' on my dream
but i don't give a damn
guess i'll have them make to see:
i never gave a **** and i ain't gonna quit
