Gonna Make It
(Recorded by J-Saint) You can hear the song courteousy of Men Against Sexual Violence.

Chorus: I sit at night and just wonder why
I have this pain inside
And then I start to cry
And then I pray to God to make it go away
I can't take it (you're gonna make it)

I sit at night and stare into my eyes
And wonder why this has gone on all this time
I gotta find a way to take back what's mine
I won't make it (you're gonna make it)

Verse 1: She was just 14, the jr. high queen but yet she shared a dark secret that
remained unseen/ felt like she couldn't tell nobody, she had to keep it in, cause if
she told, what would his church or job think of him/ plus her mom wouldn't
believe it, so she just had to leave it/ sit alone in her room at night dreading and
grieving/ hoping that he wouldn't come opening her door, but anyway what for -
he made her feel like a …/ felt like there was no hope, like no one would care, but
think about it; how could a little girl ever bare/ the embarrassment involved in a
problem rarely solved/ cause every time it happened she would just brush it off/
and think it was her fault, that's what she was taught/ cause the past 8 years of
her life she lived distraught/ visions of black rain/ she couldn't bare the pain/ of
her own father causing all the hatred in her veins

Verse 2: What about the 18-year-old high school graduate/ honor roll student with a 4.0 average/
never really thought about this, college life/ she contemplated all the good things and
never the strife/ she met a real nice cat though/ fraternity bro/ he invited her to a frat
party at his home/ there was people she didn't know/ afraid to be alone/ so he calmed
her nerves with a little Bacardi and coke/ she felt better at first, then a little tired, then
she passed out/ totally blacked out/ woke up the next afternoon left in doubt/ with her
clothes all about/ she wanted to scream and shout/ but there was no one around/ no one
to be found/ she sat and cried by herself feeling lower than the ground/ cause she
realized that she had just become the victim/ in an average everyday college situation

Verse 3: 1 out of every 4 females experience this/ by the age of 16 it don't get sicker than this/
like a disease but nothing else spreads quicker than this/ we gotta educate the young
minds and have it dismissed/ it stops with us/ we gotta regain the trust/ people ask;
why the fuss?/ it's a blatant disgust/ that we go on living acting like nothing's up/ we
gotta stop the ignorant actions and quit cutting up/ and know that alcohol doesn't give
you the right/ to disrespect, we gotta know that and give back the night/ we gotta, help
with the fight/ and help make it right/ and do it for our grandmothers, mothers,
daughters and wives/ tell me; how would you feel if it was your mother or daughter?/
how would you feel if your mother was the one slaughtered?/ how would you feel if
your little girl's the one tortured?/ it would upset you right?

WELL YOU KNOW WHAT? IT OUGHTA IT'S AN OUTRAGE!!!
