You want me to tell you something

Violence

You can decide

When you start using it

But you don't choose when it stops

I believe it deep down

Inside, lil bro

Don't call that a line

I swear, if you want it

You can become what you wish

You can become what you wanna be

Live, if you wanna be born

There's sunshine on the horizon

You just gotta open the right windows

You can pull off big plans

If you aim high

There's no future

In the hood lobby

Or in the bars

Never listen to those who'll tell you

Success is only for others

Still less the ones who'll claim

That illegal stuff is for us

You too, you can

Change the world

Become a role model

Without asking them for a thing

Make your own money

Grow in the shadows

End up in the sun

I know the road is long

Till the end of the tunnel

I know I can

I know I can

Become what I want

Become what I want

Astronaut or lawyer

Astronaut or lawyer

Or doctor if God wills

Or doctor if God wills

I know I can

I know I can

Become what I want

Become what I want

Astronaut or lawyer

Astronaut or lawyer

Or doctor if God wills

You're the one lecturing me

Look what you've done

You talk about my future, Demba?

But look at your past

I became your mirror

And I think that's what bugs you

Kids don't always listen

But they say they imitate

I'll never shut my mouth

In front of anyone

Who crosses the line

yeah?

Blood doesn't scare me

I've already seen liters of it flow

Hood against hood

You tell me you find that pathetic

You'd kill for your dough

I'll die for my turf

I'm not gonna change the world

Or become a role model

But without asking them for a thing

I'm gonna make my own money

Grow in the shadows

Then end up in the sun

I know the road is long

Till the end of the tunnel

I'm not gonna change the world

Or become a role model

But without asking them for a thing

I'm gonna make my own money

Grow in the shadows

Then end up in the sun

I know the road is long

Till the end of the tunnel

I know I can

I know I can

Become what I want

Become what I want

Astronaut or lawyer

Astronaut or lawyer

Or doctor if God wills

Or doctor if God wills

I know I can

I know I can

Become what I want

Become what I want

Astronaut or lawyer

Astronaut or lawyer

Or doctor if God wills

I see myself in your reflection

Reflection

yeah, big bro

lil bro

I see myself in your reflection

Reflection

yeah, big bro

lil bro

You know the last thing

Mom asked me?

What?

She wanted me to tell you

To stop your bullsh*t

What bullsh*t?

This hood bullsh*t

Like you didn't do the same thing

When you were my age?

I know I can

I know I can

Become what I want

Become what I want

Astronaut or lawyer

Astronaut or lawyer

Or doctor if God wills

Or doctor if God wills

I know I can

I know I can

Become what I want

Become what I want

Astronaut or lawyer

Astronaut or lawyer

Or doctor if God wills

Or doctor if God wills

I know I can

I know I can

Become what I want

Become what I want

Astronaut or lawyer

Astronaut or lawyer

Or doctor if God wills

Yeah I know I can

And become what I want

Astronaut or lawyer

Yeah I know I can

And become what I want

Astronaut or lawyer

Or doctor if God wills

Despite the letdowns

Despite the oppression

Despite the jail time

Despite all the 'ations'

Get up and walk
