I Can Be
Intro
Sow what you reap (uh-huh, uh-huh)
Preach as you teach (uh-huh, uh-huh)
Chorus
Say, I can be, anything, that I want, stand tall
You can be, anything, that you want, go far
We can be, anything, that we want, just believe
You can be, anything, that you wish, Thank god
Verse 1
(Preach)
I can be anything that I want
(Teach)
Counting my blessing - give thanks to god
(Preach)
You wanna learn more- Then stay in class
(Teach)
With eyes on the pride - you'll learn the lesson
(Preach)
Changes will come, what will take from me
At the dead end, we reverse and go
Be proud... Counting blessings - give thanks to God
You gotta stay focused,
Eyes open... Wide open... Not in a box
You gotta be patient and work smart, not hard, good luck
Say I gotta be stronger, for my Momma, I love her, be honest
Let's face it, I'm not basic and not lazy, so don't worry
Just keep working, it's not easy, But who said it would be huh?
Why staring at the wall with no windows huh?
Chorus
Say, I can be, anything, that I want, stand tall
You can be, anything, that I want, go far
We can be, anything, that we want, just believe
You can be, anything, that you wish, thank god
Verse 2
Then probably if you knew better... knew better (ey)
Then probably you would do better... do better
I know you want something that you can hold on to
But I don't know why you wanna hold on
Please be strong and don't let it change you
Wake up and pray about an hour to dawn
I start to work and I never go home
Step in the booth then I marry the beat
Working so hard, I ain't never go sleep
I can drop albums like every week
I will not stop, til' I reach at the peak
You can't swim, don't come on the deep side
Cause probably you gon work til' you retire
Baby... til' you retire
You can't swim, don't come on the deep side...
Baby... til' you retire
Outro
Say, I can be, anything, that I want, stand tall
You can be, anything, that you want, go far
