Self Esteem |
You got to believe in yourself |
Don’t let nobody tell you what you can’t be |
You got to believe in yoursel-elf, yeah |
And everything else’ll work out, you’ll see |
Ohh (ohh) ohh, ohh, hoh! |
You got to believe in yourself |
Don’t let nobody tell you what you can’t be |
You got to believe in yoursel-elf, yeah |
And everything else’ll work out, you’ll see |
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh |
I think I — naw, I know I can |
I think I — naw, I know I can |
I think I — naw, I know I can |
I know I can, I know I can, ay |
Ay, yeah |
Nobody, uh-uh uh uhh |
Everybody I think I… |
Uhh, uhh, uhh, uhh |
You see my poppa was a rollin stone |
And my momma had problems of her own |
But I still managed to make it out okay |
… ohh, ohh |
Although I’m hailed as a hometown hero |
Still in my hometown I’m seen as a negro |
But man, that’s okay |
Uh uh uh uh uh uh |
It’s so many obstacles in life to overcome |
And as soon as you jump over one here come another come |
But we got to be strong, and set examples for our sons |
If the sun don’t shine, then the decayin has begun |
Uhh, uhh, uhh, uhh |
They say I’m old enough to go to war |
But I ain’t old enough to play in the NBA no more |
Now you tell me, what’s wrong with that? |
Ah ah ah, ah-ah ah ah |
I pledge allegiance all the way to Iraq |
But ain’t nobody pledgin to me when I get back |
Tell my Uncle Sam he wrong for that |
Ah ah ah, WOO! |
You see my self-esteem, I’m never leavin home without it |
They told me I’d never make it, they told me I ain’t doubt it |
Now tell me whoever make it, now tell me I ain’t got it |
I’m seein No Limits nigga, who sayin I ain’t Bout it? |
WOO! |
That’s right, you gotta believe it y’all, c’mon |
I know I can |
I think I — naw, I know I can |
I think I — naw, I know I can |
Know I can, know you can |
Rock on Nelly, rock on my brother |
Keep your head up over the storm, young fella (hoh!) |
Got a letter from the government, opened and read it |
Uhh, and told 'em all to forget it |
C’mon, cause we BELIEVE in the future |
Uncle Sam sent his man to recruit ya |
You still can’t trust it, cause you came this far |
End of discussion, when you KNOW who you are |
That’s right believe, c’mon now |
Don’t let nobody tell you, what you can be |
C’mon Nelly, tell 'em man |
That’s right, rockin it positivity, that’s right |
I know I can, I know I can |
I think I, I know I can |
You gotta believe it |
You gotta believe, my brother |
You keep doin your thing |
That’s right, keep that head up |
All the way to the future |
That’s right, for the babies baby |
For the babies |
