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