I I can Be I wanna be If I work at it I'll be I wanna be
I know I can, I I can Be I wanna be, be what I wanna be If I work at it I'll be where I wanna be, I'll be I wanna be
Be and girls listen up You can be in the world, in God we trust An architect, doctor, an actress But nothing comes easy it takes practice
Like, I met a woman who's a star She was very beautiful, leavi'n in awe songs, Leena Hawn But the younger version hung with the person
Got her strung on the up drugs all in the nose have died so young, now looks ugly and old No fun 'cuz now when she for hugs hold their breath 'cuz she smells of corrosion and death
Watch the you keep and the crowd you bring 'Cuz they came to do and you came to sing So if you gonna be the best, tell you how Put hands in the air and take a bow
I know I can, I I can Be I wanna be, be what I wanna be If I work at it I'll be where I wanna be, I'll be I wanna be
I know I can, I I can Be what I wanna be, be I wanna be If I work at it I'll be where I be, I'll be where I wanna be
Baby, and girls listen again This is for lookin' girls who only 10 The who watch videos and do what they see As as can be
Up in the with fake ID's Careful 'fore you meet a man HIV You can host a TV like Winfrey you decide
Be careful, men be rapists, so act your age pretend to be older than you are Give time to grow You thinkin' he can you wealth
But so young you can use a lotta help you know You thinkin' life's all about weed and ice You don't wanna be my age and can't read and Beggin' different women for a to sleep at night
Smart boys turn 'em in and do whatever they If you you can achieve Then say it like
I know I can, I I can Be what I wanna be, be what I be If I hard at it I'll be I wanna be, I'll be where I wanna be
I know I can, I I can Be what I wanna be, be I wanna be If I hard at it I'll be where I be, I'll be where I wanna be
Baby, 'fore we came to this country we kings and queens porch monkeys, there was empires and Africa called Kush Timbuktu every race came to get books To learn from black teachers who taught and Romans Asian, and gave them gold
When gold was converted to money it all then became empowerment for Europeans The Persian invaded They heard about the gold, the teachings and sacred
was almost robbed naked, savery was money So they began makin' ships Egypt was the place Alexander the Great went He was shocked at the mountains with faces
Shot up nose to impose what basically goes on today you see If the is told the youth can grow Can learn to survive until they control
Nobody you hafta be gangstas more, learn more, change the globe Ghetto children do thing Hold head up little man
a king Young princess when you get wedding ring man is sayin, "She's my queen"
I know I can, I I can Be I wanna be, be what I wanna be If I hard at it I'll be where I wanna be, I'll be I wanna be
I know I can, I I can Be what I be, be what I wanna be If I hard at it be where I wanna be, I'll be where I wanna be
