I Can — + Nas | караоке, минус + текст песни

Get, get, get down. Uh. Uh. 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. 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 becoming a star. She was very beautiful, leaving people in awe. Singing songs, Lena Horne, but the younger version. Hung with the wrong person, got a strong on that-- Sniffing up drugs, all in her nose. Coulda died so young, now looks ugly and old. No fun 'cause now when she reaches for hugs, people hold they breath. 'Cause she smells of corrosion and death. Watch the company you keep and the crowds you bring. 'Cause they came to do drugs and you came to sing. So if you're gonna be the best, I'ma tell you how. Put your hand in the air and take the vow. 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. I know I can. I know I can. Be what I wanna be. Be what I wanna be. Huh, huh, huh, huh. If I work hard at it. If I work hard at it. Hu- I'll be where I wanna be. Huh. I'll be where I wanna be. Be. Be. Boys and girls, listen again. This is for grown-looking girls who's 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, before you meet a man with HIV. You can host the 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 thinking he can give you wealth, but so young boys. You can use a lot of help, you know. You're thinking life's all about smoking and ice. You don't wanna be my age and can't 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, then say it like this. 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. Now, go. I know I can. I know I can. Be what I wanna be. Be what I wanna be. Huh, huh, huh, huh. If I work hard at it. If I work hard at it. Ho. I'll be where I wanna be. I'll be where I wanna be. Be. Be. Before we came to this country. We were kings and queens, never porch monkeys. There was empires in Africa called Kush. Timbuktu where every race came to get books. To learn from Black teachers who taught Greeks and Romans. Asians, 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 making slave ships. Egypt was the place that Alexander the Great went. He was as shocked as the mountains with Black faces. Shot up they knows to impose what basically. Still goes on today, you see. If the truth is told, the youth can grow. They learn to survive until they gain control. Nobody says you have to be gangsters. Read more, learn more, change the globe. Ghetto children, do your thing. Hold your head up, little man, you're a king. Young princess when you get your wedding ring. Your man will sing, "She's my queen." Queens. 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. 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. Be. Be. Save the music, y'all. Save the music, y'all. Save the music, y'all. Save the music, y'all. Save the music.
