[F#m] _ Be what I wanna be.
[G#m] If I work hard at [F#m] it, I'll be where I wanna be.
I [D] know I can.
Be what I wanna [Fm] be.
[F#] If I work hard at [E] it, [D#]
I'll be where I wanna be.
[F#] Be.
Be.
[G#] Boys and girls, listen [F#m] up.
You can be anything in the world and God you trust.
An architect, [C#] doctor, maybe an [F#m] actress but nothing comes [D] easy.
It takes much practice like I met a woman who's becoming a [B] star
She was very [G#] beautiful leaving people in [F#] awe
Singing songs lean on [F] horn but the [F#m] younger version
Hung with the wrong person got a strong one at
Sniffing [B] up drugs all in her [F#m] nose
Could have died so young now looks ugly and old
No fun because now when [G#m] she reaches for hugs
People [F#] hold they breath
Because she smells of [Dm] corrosion and [D] death
Watch the company you [E] keep and the crowds you bring
[D] Because they came to do [C#] drugs and you came to sing
[F#] So if you're going to be the [G#m] best I'ma tell you [F#m] how
Put your hand in the air and [C#m] take the [F#m] bow
I know I [G#] can
[A] Be what I wanna be
[F#m] If I work hard at [G#m] it
[F#m] I'll be where I wanna be
Be [D] _ [C#] _
[B] what I wanna [G#m] be
[F#m] If I work hard at [G#m] it
[A]
[F#m] I'll be where I wanna be
Be [G#] boys and girls listen [D] again
This is for [D#] grown looking girls who's only 10
The ones who watch [C#] videos and do what they [D] see
As cute as can be
Up in the club with fake ID
Careful for you [C#m] need a man with HIV
[A] You can host a [G#] TV like Oprah [F#] Winfrey
Whatever you [G#] decide be careful some [F#] men be
Rapists or act your age
Don't [D#] pretend to be older than you [C#] are
Give yourself [D] time to grow
You thinking [D#] he can give you wealth but so young boys
You can use a lot of [G#m] help you know
[F#] You thinking life's all about smoking [A] ice
You don't [Bm] wanna be my agent [D] can't read and write
Begging different women [G#m] for a place to sleep at [D] night
Smart boys turn to [G#m] men and do [F#m] whatever they wish
If you believe you can achieve then say it like this
I know I [G#] can
[F#m] Be what I wanna be
If I work hard [E] at it
[F#m] I'll be where I wanna be
I [D] know I [C#m] _
[D] can
[G#m] Be what I wanna [F#m] be
If I work hard at [A] it
[F#m] I'll be where I wanna be
Be [Bm] before we came to this country
We were kings and queens never [F#] poor among these
There was empires in [D] Africa called Kush
Timbuktu where every race came to get books
To learn from black [B] teachers who taught Greeks and Romans
[C#] Asian Arabs and gave them [B] gold when
Gold was converted to money it all [F#] changed
Money then [E] became empowerment for [F#] Europeans
The Persian [G#] military invaded
They [D] heard about the gold [F#m] the teachings and everything sacred
Africa [G#m] was almost robbed [F#] naked
Slavery was money so they [B] began making [E] slave ships
Egypt was the place that Alexander [A] the Great went
He wasn't [G#] shocked that the mountains were black [F#] faces
Shot up [G#] they nose to impose what [F#m] basically still goes on today you see
If the truth is [G#] told the youth can [F#m] grow
They'll learn to survive until they gain control
Nobody says you [G#m] have to be gangsters
[F#m] Read more learn more change the globe
[D] Ghetto [Bm] children [C#m] do your [A] thing
Hold [G#m] your head up little man you're [F#m] a king
Young [G#m] princess when you get your wedding [D] ring
[F#] You man is saying she's my queen
I know I [G#] can
[A] Be what I wanna be
Be what I wanna [F#] be
If I work hard [G#] at it
If I work [F#m] hard at it
I'll be where I wanna be
