nas - i can (remix) lyrics
[hook : kids]
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 it!)
i’ll be where i wanna be
[verse 1 : rakim]
i’m from the home of a million legends and trend settin
a lot of footsteps to follow, i’ve been steppin
mind stressin tryin to find direction, crime spreading
time precious, i ain’t have rest since 9/11
i live fast, hustle like today is my last
i get cash, the struggle’s like a day on the ave
crack, d and raw, gats squeezin off
manhattan streets in awe from casualties of war
the eve of the apocalypse, evil people in politics
every block is at risk, the metropolitan metropolis
the opposite of liza minelli and frank sinatra
alicia keys, nas and ra the gangsta’s opera
so new york city walk with me, talk gritty
it’s up to us new york it’s our city
here the man come with the anthem, hands up
it’s time the thrill is back new york, let’s stand up
[hook : kids]
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 it!)
i’ll be where i wanna be (i’ll be where i wanna be!)
[verse 2 : nas]
for brothers who died from black-on-black violence
from here to the dark continent were rebels sell diamonds
to clients all over the world, got little black girls dyin’
and can we please pour some more liquors?
for will, bokeem, bar, pappy — my n-ggas
here’s another warrior song from nasty and quan
it’s to him i p-ss the baton to carry this on
street’s disciple, salute to those who’s gone with bullets
and i promise through rhymin’ quan gon’ rep his life to the fullest
and can we please have a moment of truth?
for soldiers and troops away with helmets and boots
and families back home who pray they make it home safe
hopin’ that they don’t get hit with a stray or missiles
this is just a moment to let you all know that we miss you
mommy i’m still here, wishin’ i was there with you
let’s take ’em home
[hook : kids]
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 it!)
i’ll be where i wanna be (i’ll be where i wanna be!)
[verse 3 : 2pac]
i want money in large amounts, my garage full of cars that bounce
movin’ my tapes in major ways cause every dollar counts
busters is jealous and half these n-ggas is punks
they runnin’ off at the mouth ’til i fill it up with my pump
they jump, my automatic keep ’em wary
why you frontin’ like you billy bad–ss, n-gga you scary
i’ve been knowin’ you for years, we was high school peers, in junior high
i was itchin’ to k!ll, and you was, ready to die
while you bullsh-ttin’, n-ggas was dyin’ and catchin’ cases
bustin’ my automatics at motherf-ckers in foreign places
leavin’ no trace, they see my face and they buried
them b-tches die in a hurry, still i ride, i’m never worried
mr. makaveli tell me to ride, and i’mma ride
pick my enemies out the crowd, and motherf-ckers die
it’s not the way i wanna live, my n-gga it’s how it is
homey got into a fight last night, that k!lled his kids
in this life i lead
[hook : 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 it!)
i’ll be where i wanna be (i’ll be where i wanna be!)
[hook : 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 it!)
i’ll be where i wanna be (i’ll be where i wanna be!)
[bridge : kids]
ooohh
[outro : nas]
save the music y’all, save the music y’all
save the music y’all, save the music y’all
save the music
