Chorus:
I know i can
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)

Verse 1:
B b-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 whose becoming a star
She was very beautiful leaving people in awh
Singing songs leana horne but the younger version
Hung with the wrong person get a strung of that heroin
Cocaine sniffing up drugs all in her nose
Could of died so young now looks ugly and old
No fun cause now when she reaches for hugs people hold theybreath
Cause shes smells of corrosion 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 your going to be the best imma tell you how
Put your hand in the air and take the vow

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 (if i work hard at it)
Ill be where i wanna be (ill 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 at it)
Ill be where i wanna be (ill be where i wanna be)

Verse 2:
B b-boys and girls listen again
This is for grown lookin girls whose 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 wit h.i.v
You can host a tv like oprah winfrey
Whatever you decide be careful some men be
Rapist so act your age dont pretend to be
Older than you are give yourself time to grow
Ya thinking he can give you wealth but so
Young boys you can use a lot of help you know
You thinking life is all about smoking weed and ice
You dont wanna be my age and cant read and write
Begging different women for a place to sleep at night
Smart boys turn to men and do whatever they wish
If you believe you can achieve than 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 (if i work hard at it)
Ill be where i wanna be (ill 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 at it)
Ill be where i wanna be (ill be where i wanna be)

Verse 3:
B before we came to this country
We were kings and queens never porch monkeys
There was empires in africa called cush
Timbuktu were 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 than became an powerment for europeans
The persian military invaded
They heard about the gold, the teachings and everything sacred
Africa was almost rob naked
Slavery was money so the began making slave ships
Egypt was the place that alexander the great went
He was in shock that the mountains were black faces
Shot up there nose to impose what basically
Still goes on today you see
If the truth is told
The youth can grow
They'll learn to survive until they gain control
Nobody says you have to be gangsters hoes
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"

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 (if i work hard at it)
Ill be where i wanna be (ill 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 at it)
Ill be where i wanna be (ill be where i wanna be)
