I know I can

Be what I wanna be

If I work hard at it

Ill be where I wanna be

Chorus

I know I can- 2x

Be what I wanna be- 2x

If I work hard at it- 2x

I'll be where I wanna be- 2x



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 nothin comes easy

It takes much practice

Like I met a woman whos becoming a star

She was very beautiful

Leaving people in awe

Singing songs later on

But the other version

Hung with the wrong person

Got her strung on that heroin

Cocaine sniffing up drugs

All in the nose

Could a died so young

Now looks ugly and old

No fun

Cuz now when she reaches for hugs

People hold they breathe

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 your gonna be the best

Im gonna tell you how

Put your hands in the air

And take a bow



Chorus 4x



Verse 2

Be be boys and girls listen again

This is for grown lookin girls

Whos only 10

The ones who watch videos

And do what they see

As cute as can be

Up in the club with fake ID

Careful for you meet a man with HIV

You can host a TV

Like Oprah Winfrey

Whatever you decide

Be careful some men be

Rapists, so act 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 lot of help you know

You thinkin lifes all about smokin weed

And ice

You dont wanna be my age

And cant read and write

Beggin different women for a place to sleep at
