Cred ca reprezinta viziunea artistului, daca e sa vorbim la modul asta. Ascultati versurile, ele spun totul.
Pe de alta parte nu pot spune ca sunt de acord cu unele versuri din piesa, pentru ca e usor sa spui: imi bag **** in ceva dupa ce ai obtinut acel ceva. Pe de alta parte poate reprezenta si faptul ca nu mai are astfel de dorinte, vise, aspiratii odata ce le-a obtinut... asta e in ton cu feelingul piesei
Probabil era intr-o pasa proasta cand a scris versurile acelea, de aici si tematica, un pic introspectiva

"I Can"
[Kids]
I know I can (I know I can)
Be what I wanna be (be what I wanna be)
If I work hard at it (If I work hard at it)
I'll be where I wanna be (I'll be where I wanna be)
[Nas]
Be, B-Boys and girls, listen up
You can be anything in the world, in God we trust
An architect, doctor, maybe an actress
But nothing comes easy it takes much practice
Like, I met a woman who's becoming a star
She was very beautiful, leaving people in awe
Singing songs, Lina Horn, but the younger version
Hung with the wrong person
Got her strung on that
Heroin, cocaine, sniffin up drugs all in her nose...
Coulda died, so young, now looks ugly and old
No fun cause now when she reaches for hugs people hold they breath
Cause she smells of corrosion and death
Watch the company you keep and the crowd you bring
Cause they came to do drugs and you came to sing
So if you gonna be the best, I'ma tell you how,
Put your hands in the air, and take a vow
[Chorus - 2x (Nas and Kids)]
I know I can (I know I can)
Be what I wanna be (be what I wanna be)
If I work hard at it (If I work hard at it)
I'll be where I wanna be (I'll be where I wanna be)
[Nas]
Be, B-Boys and girls, listen again
This is for grown looking girls who's only ten
The ones who watch videos and do what they see
As cute as can be, up in the club with fake ID
Careful, 'fore you meet a man with HIV
You can host the TV like Oprah Winfrey
Whatever you decide, be careful, some men be
Rapists, so act your age, don't pretend to be
Older than you are, give yourself time to grow
You thinking he can give you wealth, but so
Young boys, you can use a lot of help, you know
You thinkin life's all about smokin weed and ice
You don't wanna be my age and can't read and write
Begging different women for a place to sleep at night
Smart boys turn to men and do whatever they wish
If you believe you can achieve, then say it like this
[Chorus]
[Nas]
Be, be, 'fore we came to this country
We were kings and queens, never porch monkeys
There was empires in Africa called Kush
Timbuktu, where every race came to get books
To learn from black teachers who taught Greeks and Romans
Asian Arabs and gave them gold when
Gold was converted to money it all changed
Money then became empowerment for Europeans
The Persian military invaded
They heard about the gold, the teachings, and everything sacred
Africa was almost robbed naked
Slavery was money, so they began making slave ships
Egypt was the place that Alexander the Great went
He was so shocked at the mountains with black faces
Shot up they nose to impose what basically
Still goes on today, you see?
If the truth is told, the youth can grow
Then learn to survive until they gain control
Nobody says you have to be gangstas, hoes
Read more learn more, change the globe
Ghetto children, do your thing
Hold your head up, little man, you're a king
Young Princess when you get your wedding ring
Your man is saying "She's my queen"[Chorus]
Save the music y'all, save the music y'all
Save the music y'all, save the music y'all
Save the music
I dont' t know why but 4 me this is an anthem , ya know...what more can i say...
Peace..I'm out!
[Kids]

Big himself said Nas was better than him........check it!
by Matt Life (former A&R at Loud):
"...Big might not have been the best freestyle MC, but he could craft a few bars at a time in his head while standing in front of the mic like no other.
The reason that I hesitate to give him the freestyle crown is because of what happened late one night in San Francisco. Around five o'clock in the morning at the Gavin Covention in '94 guess who's knockin' at my hotel door? Big and Nas, with a couple bottles of Mo', like "Where's the dank, Matt?..."Purlpe haze ablaze, I pulled out the box and started playing beats. Immediately Nas started flowing, nonstop til the sun was out. I mean spittin' perfect verses and choruses that sounded thought out for hours but could only be off the top due to the here-and-now content. Barely awake, but in total awe, I look over at my man Free sharing the room with me. He was stuck. I looked at Big-stuck. Then Nas picked up the glance and paused for Big to start rhyming. After one long breath, Big said "Oh hell no, I can't fuk with duke". We laughed and Nas just kept going"
