| You, you can
|
| You, you, you can
|
| You, you, you can
|
| You, you, you can
|
| I remember when everything was so carefree
|
| Look into my future with 20/20 so clearly
|
| I had my plans mapped out
|
| Trying to tell me I wasn’t destined for greatness was aimless
|
| Because I lacked doubt
|
| I had to act out everything I saw for myself
|
| I had the faith and I believed like there was nobody else
|
| Willing to back me up and willing to invest in me
|
| My destiny was trying to do the best for me
|
| And I could never rest although they test and yeah they question me
|
| But I would just confess to me I had a different recipe
|
| I’m focusing excessively, but coming up against trials and tribulations
|
| And getting judged upon somebody else’s limitations
|
| And in consideration of all the temptations
|
| And all the frustrations, had to keep my motivation
|
| That doesn’t mean I’ve never shed a tear
|
| Or had the feeling that the people that I love the most are never there
|
| I’ve always heard people tell me life wasn’t easy
|
| From family that betray you and friends that can play you greezy
|
| From partners you used to love now the sight of them make you queasy
|
| If I came back from the future and told me, I wouldn’t believe me
|
| I’m two score and I’ve seen so much
|
| But thank God he let me breathe so much
|
| So I can be so much and from the bottom heart
|
| Yeah I know it ain’t that easy but I gotta tell you anyway…
|
| You can win, as long as you keep your head to the sky
|
| Yeah I get it when you ain’t getting the credit for the merits
|
| And they edit, cos you don’t fit they aesthetics yo'
|
| Yeah I see it, but I almost guarantee it
|
| You can overcome these obstacles when you reach and believe it yo'
|
| Yeah I heard it, they saying you don’t deserve it
|
| Cos they judge you like they perfect
|
| But don’t make that be the verdict yo'
|
| Yeah I know it, but I’m telling you
|
| You owe it to yourself to go and show the world your wealth
|
| Ain’t talking money yo', huh
|
| And it’s an everyday struggle
|
| Where you trying to build a picture
|
| But some pieces of the puzzle are missing
|
| And every time you try and speak, they try and muzzle
|
| Won’t listen, it’s like a competition that you trying to win
|
| Sometimes it seems impossible
|
| But searching deep within for a level of resilience to take it on the chin
|
| So whether you a long way from home
|
| Or suffering something you don’t condone
|
| Or facing something unknown
|
| Or wanna be around somebody, but you always alone
|
| Or if you’re contemplating giving up, or leaving the zone
|
| The only thing that I can say is what I told you before
|
| And just because it’s from the heart, I’m gonna say it once more
|
| I know that you’ve seen so much
|
| But you so blessed to get to breathe so much
|
| So you can be so much and from my very inner core
|
| Yeah I know that it ain’t easy, but I gotta tell you anyways…
|
| You can win, as long as you keep your head to the sky
|
| Oooh, you can win yeah, oooh, you can win, ye-eh-ah
|
| You-can-win-as-long-as-you-keep-your-head to the sky
|
| You can win, as long as you keep — your head to the sky
|
| I know that you’ve seen so much
|
| But you so blessed to get to breathe so much
|
| So you can see so much and from my very inner core
|
| Yeah I know that it ain’t easy, but I gotta tell you anyway…
|
| I know that you’ve seen so much
|
| But you so blessed to get to breathe so much
|
| So you can be so much…
|
| (oh-oh you can win, as long as you keep your head to the sky) |
