Nas - "I Can"
CHORUS(x2): 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 at it
Ill be where I wanna be, Ill be where I wanna be
Be be, Boys and girls listen up
You can be anything in the world, in God we trust
An architect, doctor, maybe an actress
But nothin comes easy, it takes much practice
Like, I met a woman whos becoming a star
She was very beautiful, leavin people in awe
Singing songs, Lena Horn, but the younger version
Hung with the wrong person, got her strung on that crack
Sniffin up drugs, all in her nose
Coulda died so young, now looks ugly and old
No fun, cause now when people reach for a hug
They hold they breath, cause she smells of curosion 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, Imma tell you how
Put your hands in the air, and take the vow
CHORUS(x2):
Be be, Boys and girls listen again
This is grown lookin girls whos only ten
The ones who watch videos and do as they see
As cute as can be, up in the club with fake IDs
Careful before you meet a man with HIV
You can host a TV like Oprah Winfrey
Whatever you decide, careful, some men be
Rapest, or at your age, dont pretend to be
Older than you are, give yourself time to grow
You thinkin he can give you wealth, but so
Young boys, you can use a lotta help you know
You thinkin lifes all about smokin weed and ice
You dont wanna be my age a cant read and write
Beggin different woman for a place to sleep at night
Smart boys turn into men and do whatever they wish
If you believe you can achieve, than say it like this
CHORUS(x2):
Be be, before we came to this country
We were kings and queens, never porch monkeys
There were empires in Africa called Kush
Timbuktu where everyu race came to get books
To learn from black teachers, who taught Greeks and Romans
Asians, Arabs, and gave them gold when
Gold was converted to money and all things
Money then became empowerment for Europeans
The Persian military invaded
They heard about the gold, money, and every thing sacred
Africa was almost robbed naked
Slavery was money, so they began makin slave ships
Egypt was the place that Alexander the Great went
He was shocked at the mountains with black faces
Shot out they nose to empose what basically still goes on today
You see, if the truth is told, the youth can grow
To learn to survive until they gain control
Nobody said you have to be gangstas
Read more, learn more, change the globe
Ghetto children do your thing
Hold your head up little man, your a king
Young princess when you get your wedding ring
Your man will sing "Shes my queen!"
