[00:08.85] I know I can

[00:30.23] You can be anything in the world, in God we trust
[00:32.94] An architect, doctor, maybe an actress
[00:35.34] But nothing comes easy it takes much practice
[00:37.85] Like, I met a woman who's becoming a star
[00:40.17] She was very beautiful, leaving people in awe
[00:42.70] Singing songs, Lina Horn, but the younger version
[00:45.25] Hung with the wrong person
[00:46.43] Gotta astrung when I heard when
[00:47.69] Cocaine, sniffing up drugs, all in her nose
[00:50.20] Coulda died, so young, no looks ugly and old
[00:52.75] No fun cause when she reaches for hugs people hold they breath
[00:55.74]
[00:55.76] Cause she smells of corrosion and death
[00:57.70] Watch the company you keep and the crowd you bring
[01:00.35] Cause they came to do drugs and you came to sing
[01:02.79] So if you gonna be the best, I'ma tell you how
[01:05.41] Put your hands in the air
[01:06.86] And take the bell
[01:08.04] I know I can (I know I can)
[01:10.49] Be what I wanna be (be what I wanna be)
[01:12.89] If I work hard at it (If I work hard it)
[01:15.41] I'll be where I wanna be (I'll be where I wanna be)

[01:20.39] Be what I wanna be (be what I wanna be)
[01:23.06] If I work hard at it (If I work hard it)
[01:25.46] I'll be where I wanna be (I'll be where I wanna be)
[01:27.98] Be, B-Boys and girls, listen again

[01:30.73] This is for grown looking girls who's only ten
[01:33.39] The ones who watch videos and do what they see
[01:35.56] As cute as can be, up in the club with fake ID
[01:38.23] Careful, fore you meet a man with HIV
[01:40.78] You can host the TV like Oprah Winfrey
[01:43.37] Whatever you decide, be careful, some men be
[01:45.92] Rapists, so act your age, don't pretend to be
[01:48.51] Older than you are, give yourself time to grow
[01:51.28] You thinking he can give you wealth, but so
[01:53.09] Young boys, you can use a lot of help, you know
[01:55.66] You thinkin life's all about smokin weed and ice
[01:58.28] You don't wanna be my age and can't read and right
[02:00.76] Begging different women for a place to sleep at night
[02:03.35] Smart boys turn to men and do whatever they wish
[02:05.78] If you believe you can achieve, then say it like this

[02:28.42] Be, be, fore we came to this country
[02:31.02]
[02:31.24] We were kings and queens, never porch monkeys
[02:33.79] It was empires in Africa called Kush
[02:36.11] Timbuktu, where every race came to get books
[02:38.67] To learn from black teachers who taught Greeks and Romans
[02:41.72]
[02:41.74] Asian Arabs and gave them gold when
[02:43.99] Gold was converted to money it all changed
[02:46.35] Money then became empowerment for Europeans
[02:48.82] The Persian military invaded
[02:50.73] They learned about the gold, the teachings and everything sacred
[02:54.33]
[02:54.35] Africa was almost robbed naked
[02:56.25] Slavery was money, so they began making slave ships
[02:59.30] Egypt was the place that Alexander the Great went
[03:01.77] He was so shocked at the mountains with black faces
[03:04.24] Shot up they nose to impose what basically
[03:06.95] Still goes on today, you see?
[03:08.85] If the truth is told, the youth can grow
[03:11.52] They learn to survive until they gain control
[03:14.03] Nobody says you have to be gangstas, hoes
[03:16.51] Read more learn more, change the globe
[03:18.88]
[03:19.53] Ghetto children, do your thing
[03:21.93] Hold your head up, little man, you're a king
