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



b, b 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 who was becoming a star,

she was very beautiful leaving people in awe

singin' songs later on , but the younger version,

hung wit' the wrong person, got her stunger than irwin,

cocaine sniffi'n up drugs all in her nose,

could've died so young, now looks ugly and old,

no fun cuz now when she reaches for hugs

people hold thier breath 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 you gonna be the best im'a tell you how,

put your hands in the air and take the vow



(chorusx2)

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



b, b boys and girls listen again

this is for grown looking girls who's only ten,

the ones who watch videos and do as they see

as cute as can be, up in the clubs with fake i.ds,

careful 'fo you meet a man with h.i.v.

you can host a 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 boy, you could use alot of help you kn
