[Verse 1]
[Em]Oh Jah, bless us in these times
For thou seeth the wicked try
to hold [D]I and I down
[Em]But thou shalt strike them,
and bless I and I [G]I
[Em]They've tried [D]to hold [Em]me down
In more ways [D]than one[G][D][Em]
They've closed the door on me
so many times
[D]But still they can't keep me down
I've [Em]got a positive mind
[D]It may be [Em]long, but it won't be forever
But I know one day, I will get my share
[D]It may be [Em]long, but it can't be forever
I know my [D]time's [Em]on the cake,
it's waiting out [D]there[Em][D]
[Em]Stumbling blocks in my way,
I see [G]it on [Em]every [D]side
Hey, but still I won't worry no friend,
but that's how it'll be [Em]my
One day they will [D]see[Em]
[D][Em][D][Em][D][Em]
[D]It be [Em]long, but it can[D]'t be for[Em]ever
I [D]know my [Em]slice of the cake
is waiting [D]out [Em]there[D]
Give [Em]it to me, give it to me
It's mine, it's mine
Give it to me, give it to me
Stop wasting your time
Give it to me
I've worked so hard,
to achieve what I've got
Don't try to stop me,
cause I'm the son of Jah
It [D]may be [Em]long, but it can't [B]be [Em]forever
I know one day, I will get my share
[D]It may be [Em]long, but it [D]can't be [Em]forever
I [D]know my [Em]slice of the cake
is [D]waiting out [Em]there[D]
[Em]They've tried to stop me
in more ways than one
They've tried to keep me back
but still I stood [D]strong
[Em]They've closed the door [D]on [Em]me
[D]so [Em]many times
[D]But [Em]many more are open[D] up,
cause I've got a positive [Em]mind
[D]It may [Em]be long, but it can't [B]be [Em]forever
I know one day, I will get my share
[D]It may [Em]be long, but it [D]can't be forever
[Em]I kn[D]ow my si[Em]de's up the cake,
he's [D]waiting out [Em]there
[E]It [Em]may b[D]e lo[Em]ng,
but it won't be [E]forever[Em]
I know one [E]day [Em]I will get my share
[E]It [D]may be lon[E]g, but it [Em]won't[D] be forever
I know one day [Em]I will get my share
