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, if i work hard at it

I'LL BE WHERE I WANNA BE, i'll be where i wanna be



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 nothin' comes easy it takes much practice,

like i met a woman who was becoming a star,

she was very beautiful leaving people in awe

singin' songs later horn , but the younger version,

hung with the wrong person, got her strung on the irwin,

cocaine sniffi'n up drugs all in her nose,

could've died so young, now looks ugly and old,

no fun cuz now when she reaches for hugs

people hold their breath 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 umma tell you how,

put your hands in the air and take the vow

b, b boys and girls listen again

this is for grown looking girls who's only ten,

the ones who watch videos and do as they see

as cute as can be, up in the clubs with fake i.d.,

careful 'fo you meet a man with h.i.v.

you can host a tv 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're thinkin' he can give you wealth

but so young boy, you could use alot of help you know

ya thinkin' life's all about smokin' weed 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,
