Lyrics: ‘I Can’
HI. My name is Tapiwa from Mazowe Boys High School in Harare. Please publish lyrics of “I Can” by Nas.
************************* (Kids
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)
(Nas)
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
Got her strung on that
He****, co****, sniffin 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 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, and take a vow (Chorus - 2x (Nas and Kids)
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)
(Nas)
Be, B-Boys and girls, listen again This is for grown looking girls who’s 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 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 thinking he can give you wealth, but so
Young boys, you can use a lot of help, you know; You thinkin life’s all about smokin w**** 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
(Chorus)
Save the music y’all, save the music y’all Save the music y’all, save the music y’all Save the music
