Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds. Have no fear for atomic energy, 'Cause none of them can stop the time. How long shall they kill our prophets, While we stand aside and look? Ooh! Some say it's just a part of it: We've got to fulfill the Book.

Woke up today, to everything grey And all that I saw, just kept goin' on and on Sweep all the pieces under the bed Close all the curtains and cover my head
And what you wish for won't come true You aren't surprised, love, are you
If this serenade (repeat after me) (just a little bit closer) Is not what you want (do what I say) (caught up in a lie) It's just how it is (won't change a thing) (got a little bit colder) It keeps goin' on and on
Come out, come out, wherever you are Would you do it all over Right from the start
And what you wish for won't come true You aren't surprised, love, are you So what you wish for won't come true You aren't surprised, love, are you
Once had this dream Crashed down in oz Not black and white But where the colors are I never dreamed that I would let it go
And I will get what I deserve Keep all the secrets under the bed Open the curtains forget what I said
And what you wish for could come true You aren't surprised, love, are you So what you wish for could come true You act surprised, love, are you
At first I was afraid, I was petrified I kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side But then I spent so many nights just thinking how you’ve done me wrong And I grew strong, I learned how to get along
And so you're back from outer space, I just walked in to find you here with that, that look upon your face I should have changed my fucking lock I would have made you leave your key If I’d have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me.
Oh now go, walk out the door Just turn around now, you're not welcome anymore. Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire? Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh not I, I will survive Yeah, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll be alive. I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give, I will survive
I will survive Yeah, yeah...
(SOLO)
It took all the strength I had just not to fall apart, I’m tryin' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart And I spent oh so many nights just feelin' sorry for myself, I used to cry But now I hold my head up high.
And you’ll see me with somebody new I'm not that stupid little person still in love with you. And so you thought you’d just drop by and you expect me to be free, But now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me,
Oh now go, walk out the door. Just turn around now, you're not welcome anymore. Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire? Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh not I, I will survive Yeah, as long as I know how to love I know I'll be alive, I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give, I will survive
They said you wouldn't make it so far ah ahhh And ever since they said it its been hard But never mind the nights you had to cry Cause you would never let it go inside You work real hard and you know exactly what you want and need so believe And you can never give up You can reach your goals Just talk to your soul and say
[Chorus:] I believe i can (i can) I believe i will (i will) I believe i'll know my dreams are real (my dreams are real) I believe i'll chant (oh yeah) I believe i'll dance (oh yeah) I believe ill grow real soon (that's why) That is what i do believe
Your goals are just a thing in your soul aha And you know that your moves will let them show You keep creating pictures in your mind So just believe they will come true in time It will be fine leave all of your cares and stress behind and Just let it go Let the music flow inside Forget all your pain and just start to believe
[Chorus] I believe i can (i can) I believe i will (i will) I believe i know my dreams are real (my dreams are real) I believe i'll chant (oh yeah) I believe i'll dance (oh yeah) I believe ill grow real soon (that's why) That is what i do believe
[Freestyle]
Never mind (yeh) what people say Hold your head high and turn away With all my hopes and dreams I will believe Even though it seems it's not for me I won't give up, i'll keep it up Looking to the sky I will achieve on my knees I will always believe
[2x chorus] I believe i can I believe i will I believe i know all my dreams are real I believe ill chant I believe ill dance I believe ill grow real soon And that is what i do believe
INTRO (Amateur Basketball Player) Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
VERSE 1 (Twista) I wish the way I was living could stop, serving rocks, Knowing the cops is hot when I’m on the block, And I Wish my brother woulda made bail, So I won’t have to travel 6 hours to see him in jail, And I Wish that my grandmother wasn’t sick, Or that we would just come up on some stacks and hit a lick, And I (I wish) Wish my homies wouldn’t have to suffer, When the streets get the upper hand on us and we lose a brother, And I Wish I could go deep in a zone, And lift the spirits of the world with the words with in this song, And I (I wish) Wish I could teach a soul to fly, Take away the pain out cha hands and help you hold them high, And I Wish my homie butch was still alive And on the day of his death we had never took that ride, And I wish that God can protect us from the wrongs so that all the soldiers that were sent overseas come home, And uh We will never break, though they devestate, we shall motivate, And we gotta pray, all we got is faith. Instead of thinking about who gonna die to day, The Lord is gonna help you feel better, so you ain’t gotta cry today. Sit at the light so long, And then we gotta move straight forward, cuz we fight so strong, So when right go wrong, Just say a little prayer, get ya money man, life goes on Let’s HOPE!

VERSE 2 (Twista) I wish that you could show some love, Instead of hatin so much when you see some other people commin up (I wish) I wish I could teach the world to sing, Watch the music and have ‘em trippin of the joy I bring, (shiit) I wish that we could hold hands, Listen instead of dissin lessons from a grown man, And I (I wish) Wish the families that lack, but got love, get some stacks Brand new shack and a lack that’s on dubs, And I Wish we could keep achieving wonders, See the vision of the world through the eyes of Stevie Wonder, (you feel me) (I wish) And I hope all the kids eat, And don’t nobody in my family see six feet, (ya dig) I hope them mothers stain’ strong, You can make it whether you wit him or your mans gone, And I (I wish) Wish I could give every celly some commissary, And no po po bring the heat on our peace like they did R. Kelly, And I Wish that DOC could scream again And bullets could reverse so Pac and Biggie breathe again, (shit) (I wish) Then one day they could speak again, I wish that we only saw good news every time we look at CNN, I wish that we can never get the blues Wish I can bring back the people that died, Eddy to, (I wish) I wish that we could walk a path, stay doin the right thing Hustle hard so the kids maintain up in the game, Let’s HOPE

VERSE 3 (Twista) Wish the earth wasn’t so apocalyptic, I try to spread my message to the world the best way I can give it, We can make it always be optimistic, If you don’t listen gotta live my life the best way THAT I can live it, I pray for justice when we go to court, Wish it was all good so the country never even went to war, Why can’t we kick it and just get em on, And in the famous words of Mr. King “Why can’t we all just get along”, Or we can find a better way to shop and please, And I Hope we find a better way to cop a keys, And I Wish everybody would just stop and freeze, And ask way are we fulfillin these downfalls and these prophecies, You can be wrong if it’s you doubting, With the faith of a mustard seed you can move mountains, And only the heavenly father can ease the hurt, Just let it go and keep prayin on your knees in church And let’s HOPE
CHORUS (Faith Evans) X 2 Cuz I’m hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today, Take this music and use it Let it take you away, And be hopeful (hopeful) and he’ll make a way I know it ain’t easy but that’s okay. Cuz we hopeful!
