  • аккорды, текст
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

I'll be where I wanna be

I'll be where I wanna be


Verse 1:


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 nothing comes easy it takes much practice

Like, I met a woman who's becomin a star

She was very beautiful

Leavin people in awe

Singin songs Leena Hawn

But the younger version

Hung with the wrong person

Got her strung on the

Sniffin up drugs all in the nose

Could have died so young 

Now looks ugly and old

No fun cuz now when she reaches for hugs

People hold their ground

Cuz she smells of corrosion and death

Watch the company you keep

And the crowd you bring

Cuz 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 in the air and take a bow


Chorus:


I know I can

I know I can

Be what I wanna be

Be what I wanna be

If I work hard at 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

I'll be where I wanna be

I'll be where I wanna be


Verse 2:


Be be

Boys and girls listen again

This is for grown-lookin girls

Who only 10

The ones who watch videos and do what they see

As cute as can be

Up in the club with fake ID's

Careful

Fore you meet a man with HIV

You can host a T.V. 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 thinkin he can give you wealth

But so young boys you can use a lotta help you know

You thinkin life's all about smokin * and ice

You don't wanna be my age and can't read and write

Beggin different women for a place to sleep at night

Smart boys turn em in and do whatever they wish

If you believe you can achieve

Then say it like this


Chorus:


I know I can

I know I can

Be what I wanna be

Be what I wanna be

If I work hard at 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

I'll be where I wanna be

I'll be where I wanna be


Verse 3:


Be be

Fore we came to this country

We were kings and queens

Never porch monkeys

There was empires and 

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 empowerment for Europeans

The Persian military invaded

They heard about the gold, the teachings, and everything 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 moutains with black faces

Shot up their nose to impose what basically

Still goes on today you see

If the truth is told the youth can grow

Can learn to survive until they gain control

Nobody says you hafta 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 is sayin "She's my queeeen"


Chorus:


I know I can

I know I can

Be what I wanna be

Be what I wanna be

If I work hard at 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

I'll be where I wanna be

I'll be where I wanna be


Save the music ya'll

Save the music ya'll

Save the music ya'll 

Save the music ya'll

Save the music
