Self Esteem lyrics
You got to believe in yourself
Don't let nobody tell you what you can't be You got to believe in yourself, yeah And everything else will work out you'll see You got to believe in yourself Don't let nobody tell you what you can't be You got to believe in yourself, yeah And everything else will work out you'll see Everybody I think I know, I know I can I think I know, I know I can I think I know, I know I can I know I can, I know I can, ay 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 Although I'm hailed as a hometown hero Still in my hometown I'm seen as a Negro But man, that's okay 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 You got to believe in yourself Don't let nobody tell you what you can't be You got to believe in yourself, yeah And everything else will work out you'll see I think I know, I know I can I think I know, I know I can I think I know, I know I can I know I can, I know I can, ay 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? I pledge allegiance all the way to Iraq But ain't nobody pledgin' to me when I get back Tell my Uncle Sam he was wrong for that 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 got 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? You got to believe in yourself Don't let nobody tell you what you can't be You got to believe in yourself, yeah And everything else will work out you'll see I think I know, I know I can I think I know, I know I can I think I know, I know I can I know I can, I know I can, ay Go on Nelly, rock on my brother Keep your head up over the storm, young fella Got a letter from the government, opened and read it 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 You got to believe in yourself Don't let nobody tell you what you can't be You got to believe in yourself, yeah And everything else will work out you'll see I think I know, I know I can I think I know, I know I can I think I know, I know I can I know I can, I know I can, ay 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
