If you want it to happen baybay |
|
Hold fast and believe |
|
You can make it happen baybay |
|
You can be where u pleaze |
|
All you gotta do is try |
|
Then try once again |
|
Then try a few more times |
|
Then try after then |
|
When I was a little girl |
|
Raised on N. Philly streets |
|
I'd hear my people say |
|
Ghetto'z all they'd be |
|
But my mommy would hold me |
|
Quietly give me peace |
|
She'd look me in my eyes and she'd say to me |
|
Chorus |
|
As a teenager I dreamed to see the world |
|
But how could I do this me a poor black girl |
|
And just when my will was lost |
|
And all hope seemed set free |
|
I'd remember my mama's face and her tellin' me |
|
Chorus |
|
Try try try |
|
Try try try |
|
Try try try |
|
Try and try again (repeat) |
|
Now as a grown woman I still stumble and fall |
|
But wit a lot of faith and the same amount of effort |
|
I can withstand it all |
|
I dun see some thangs now and been a few places |
|
I'm now enjoyin' the beautiful world and the many new faces |
|
I say |
|
Chorus |
|
If you want it to happen baybay 6x |
