Nas - I Can

I know I can
Be what I wanna be
If I work hard at it
I'll be where I wanna be
I know I can
I know I can
Be what I wanna be
be what I wanna be
If I work hard at it
If I work hard it
I'll be where I wanna be
I'll be where I wanna be
Be B Boys and girls
listen up
You can be
anything in the world
in God we trust
architect doctor
maybe an actress
But nothing comes easy
it takes much practice
Like I met a woman
who's becoming a star
She was very beautiful
leaving people in awe
Singing songs Lina Horn
but the younger version
Hung with the wrong person
Gotta astrung when I
heard when
Cocaine sniffing up drugs
all in her nose
Coulda died so young
no looks ugly and old
No fun cause
when she reaches for
hugs people hold they breath
Cause she smells of
orrosion and death
Watch the company you keep
and the crowd you bring
Cause they came to do drugs
and you came to sing
So if you gonna be the best
I'ma tell you how
Put your hands they air
and take about
I know I can
I know I can
Be what I wanna be
be what I wanna be
If I work hard at it
If I work hard it
I'll be where I wanna be
I'll be where I wanna be
I know I can
I know I can
Be what I wanna be
be what I wanna be
If I work hard at it
If I work hard it
I'll be where I wanna be
I'll be where I wanna be
Be B Boys and girls
listen again
This is for grown
looking girls
who's only ten
The ones who watch videos
and do what they see
As cute as can be
up in the club with fake ID
Careful'
fore you meet a man with HIV
You can host the TV
like Oprah Winfrey
Whatever you decide
be careful some men be
Rapists so act your age
don't pretend to be
Older than you are
give yourself time to grow
You thinking he can give you
wealth but so Young boys
you can use a lot of help
you know
You thinkin life's all about
smokin weed and ice
You don't wanna be my age
and can't read and right
Begging different women for
place to sleep at night
Smart boys
turn to men and do what
ever they wish
If you believe you
can achieve then
say it like this
I know I can
I know I can
Be what I wanna be
be what I wanna be
If I work hard at it
If I work hard it
I'll be where I wanna be
I'll be where I wanna be
I know I can
I know I can
Be what I wanna be
be what I wanna be
If I work hard at it
If I work hard it
I'll be where I wanna be
I'll be where I wanna be
Be be 'fore we came to
this country
We were kings and queens
never porch monkeys
It was empires in
Africa called Kush
Timbuktu where every race
came to get books
To learn from
black teachers
who taught
Greeks and Romans
Asian Arabs and
gave them gold when
Gold was converted to money
it all changed
Money then became'em
powerment for Europeans
The Persian military invaded
They learned about the gold
the teachings and
everything sacred
Africa was almost
robbed naked
Slavery was money
so they began making
slave ships
Egypt was the place that
Alexander the Great went
He was so shocked at the
mountains with black faces
Shot up they nose
to impose what basically
Still goes on today you see
If the truth is told
the youth can grow
They learn to survive
until they gain control
Nobody says you
have to be gangstas hoes
Read more learn more
change the globe
Ghetto children
do your thing
Hold your head up
little man you're a king
Young Prince thats when you
get your wedding ring
Your man is saying
she's my queen
I know I can
I know I can
Be what I wanna be
be what I wanna be
If I work hard at it
If I work hard it
I'll be where I wanna be
I'll be where I wanna be
I know I can
I know I can
Be what I wanna be
be what I wanna be
If I work hard at it
If I work hard it
I'll be where I wanna be
I'll be where I wanna be
