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 it)
i‘ll be where i wanna be (i‘ll be where i wanna be)
be, 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 who‘s becoming a star
she was very beautiful, leaving people in awe
singing songs, lina horn, but the younger version
hung with the wrong person
gotta astrung when i heard when
cocaine, sniffing up drugs, all in her nose
coulda died, so young, no looks ugly and old
no fun cause when she reaches for hugs people hold they breath
cause she 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 you gonna be the best, i‘ma tell you how
put your hands in the air
