(Chorus/Intro)
Can I be as strong as they said I should…or should I be wrong cuz I’m from the Hood?
Can I be anything that I wanna be…even if it’s not meant for this society?
Can I be the reason why I wanna live…or should it be for you, ‘cuz you want me to give?
So when can I do what makes me feel right, and stop asking questions about my life
(Verse 1)
Broken Promises
And Empty Words
Ain’t the life that I wanna live and it only gets worse
But I know, in time things will be more sure
So imma start answering my questions—make sure I get a higher score
(Chorus)
Can I be as strong as they said I should…or should I be wrong ‘cuz I’m from the Hood?
Can I be anything that I wanna be…even if it’s not meant for this society?
Can I be the reason why I wanna live…or should it be for you, ‘cuz you want me to give?
So when can I do what makes me feel right, and stop asking questions about my life
(Verse 2)
Happy Endings—they all seem like a dream
A Bitter Life worth nothing, it feels like I’m drowning…
But I know, in time things will be more sure
So Imma start answering my questions—and make sure I get a higher score!
(Chorus)
Can I be as strong as they said I should…or should I be wrong ‘cuz I’m from the Hood?
Can I be anything that I wanna be…even if it’s not meant for this society?
Can I be the reason why I wanna live…or should it be for you, ‘cuz you want me to give?
So when can I do what makes me feel right, and stop asking questions about my life
[Bridge]
Can I?
Can I?
Can I?!
Oooh…
(Chorus x2)
Can I be as strong as they said I should…or should I be wrong cuz I’m from the Hood?
Can I be anything that I wanna be…even if it’s not meant for this society?
Can I be the reason why I wanna live…or should it be for you, ‘cuz you want me to give?
So when can I do what makes me feel right, and stop asking questions about my life
