| [00:23.01] |
If you want it to happen baybay |
| [00:25.65] |
Hold fast and believe |
| [00:28.50] |
You can make it happen baybay |
| [00:30.84] |
You can be where u pleaze |
| [00:33.03] |
All you gotta do is try |
| [00:36.81] |
Then try once again |
| [00:39.63] |
Then try a few more times |
| [00:42.48] |
Then try after then |
| [00:45.30] |
When I was a little girl |
| [00:47.73] |
Raised on N. Philly streets |
| [00:50.91] |
I'd hear my people say |
| [00:52.86] |
Ghetto'z all they'd be |
| [00:55.86] |
But my mommy would hold me |
| [00:58.23] |
Quietly give me peace |
| [01:01.95] |
She'd look me in my eyes and she'd say to me |
| [01:16.47] |
Chorus |
| [01:30.24] |
As a teenager I dreamed to see the world |
| [01:35.01] |
But how could I do this me a poor black girl |
| [01:40.83] |
And just when my will was lost |
| [01:44.34] |
And all hope seemed set free |
| [01:46.98] |
I'd remember my mama's face and her tellin' me |
| [01:51.60] |
Chorus |
| [02:29.43] |
Try try try |
| [02:29.88] |
Try try try |
| [02:30.15] |
Try try try |
| [02:30.63] |
Try and try again (repeat) |
| [02:37.38] |
Now as a grown woman I still stumble and fall |
| [02:42.42] |
But wit a lot of faith and the same amount of effort |
| [02:46.05] |
I can withstand it all |
| [02:48.63] |
I dun see some thangs now and been a few places |
| [02:53.73] |
I'm now enjoyin' the beautiful world and the many new faces |
| [05:06.00] |
I say |
| [05:06.93] |
Chorus |
| [08:10.23] |
If you want it to happen baybay 6x |
