Self Esteem (Feat. Chuck D.)

Chours 1 You got to believe in yourself Don’t let nobody tell you what you can be You got to believe in yourself And everything else will work out, you’ll see 2x Chorus 2 I think, I.., No, I know, I can 3x I know I can 2x You see my papa was a rolling 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 There’s so many obstacles in life to overcome and as soon as you jump over one here come another one But we got to be strong and set examples for our sons If the sun don’t shine (it’s a gain? another day has begun?) Chorus 1 repeat 2x Chorus 2 repeat 3x 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 [Self Esteem Lyrics On http://www.elyricsworld.com/ ] I pledge allegiance all the way to Iraq But ain’t nobody pledging to me when I get back Tell my Uncle Sam he’s wrong for that You see my self-esteem I’m never leaving home without it They told me I’d never make it They told me I ain’t got it (this verse is unclear for me) Now tell me whoever made it now tell me I ain’t got it I’m sayin’ (??) who’s sayin’ I ain’t (??) Chorus 1 repeat x2 That’s right You gotta believe it brother Chours 2 repeat - 3x’s Rock on Nelly Rock on my brother Keep your head up over the storm young fellow Got a letter from the government Opened it, read it and told ‘em all to forget it Because we believe in the future Uncle Sam sends his man to recruit you You still can’t trust it But you came this far end of discussion When you know who you are Chorus 1 repeat 2x That’s right, believe Com’on now Don’t let nobody tell you Nelly, tell ‘em now That’s right, rockin’ in pos-i-tivity Chorus 2 repeat 2x You gotta believe You gotta believe my brother You keep doin’ your thing That’s right, keep that head up all the way into the future that’s right for the babies, baby
