[Kids-x2]
I know I can (I know I can)
我知道我能(我知道我能)
Be what I wanna be (be what I wanna be)
成为理想的自己(成为理想的自己)
If I work hard at it (If I work hard it)
只要我不断追寻(只要我不断追寻)
I\'ll be where I wanna be (I\'ll be where I wanna be)
我就会到达梦想的彼岸(我就会到达梦想的彼岸)

[Nas]
Be, B-Boys and girls, listen up
现在,男孩女孩们,都听着
You can be anything in the world, in God we trust
在我们所信仰的上帝的普照之下,有志者事竟成
An architect, doctor, maybe an actress
一个工程师,一个医生,也许是一名演员

But nothing comes easy it takes much practice
但是没有什么伸手就能得到,只有你付出艰辛的努力
Like, I met a woman who\'s becoming a star
一如我所遇见的一个走在星光大道上的女人
She was very beautiful, leaving people in awe
她美丽得让所有人敬畏
Singing songs, Lina Horn, but the younger version
她所唱的歌曲一如当年的Lina Horn
Hung with the wrong person
但却沉溺于与人鬼混
Got her strung on that heroin
她吸毒上瘾不能自拔
Cocaine, sniffing up drugs, all in her nose
可卡因从不离手
Coulda died, so young, now looks ugly and old
如此年轻貌美却步步迈入死亡的深渊,现在她已是残花败柳
No fun cause now when she reaches for hugs people hold they breath
这可不是说笑,现在当她伸手索要拥抱的时候,人们都屏住呼吸不愿接受
Cause she smells of corrosion and death
只是因为她已经怀绕在死亡与腐败的气息之中
Watch the company you keep and the crowd you bring
看看你的兄弟朋友及你身旁所有的人们
Cause they came to do drugs and you came to sing
他们来到人世却沉迷于毒品之中,而你却是为了歌唱而生的
So if you gonna be the best, I\'ma tell you how
所以如果你想成为最好,我来告诉你应该如何
Put your hand in the air and take the vow
高举你的双手,高呼这些誓言吧
Nas
[Chorus - 2x (Nas and Kids)]
I know I can (I know I can)
我知道我能(我知道我能)
Be what I wanna be (be what I wanna be)
成为理想的自己(成为理想的自己)
If I work hard at it (If I work hard it)
只要我不断追寻(只要我不断追寻)
I\'ll be where I wanna be (I\'ll be where I wanna be)
我就会到达梦想的彼岸(我就会到达梦想的彼岸)

[Nas]

This is for grown looking girls who\'s only ten
这些献给那些看似成熟却只有10岁的女孩们
The ones who watch videos and do what they see
那些总是看电视并竭力效仿她们所见的女孩们
As cute as can be, up in the club with fake ID

小心点,在你碰到某个感染艾滋病的男人之前

不管你要决定什么,小心一点,有些男人正是
Rapists, so act your age, don\'t pretend to be

Older than you are, give yourself time to grow
给自己一个成长的过程
You thinking he can give you wealth, but so
你以为他可以给你荣华富贵,
Young boys, you can use a lot of help, you know
但是一样太过年轻男孩怎么可能拿得出来,你知道你可以获得更多的帮助
You thinkin life\'s all about smokin weed and ice
你把生活的全部意义都放在吸食大麻和冰毒上
You don\'t wanna be my age and can\'t read and write
你不想到了我这个年级却仍旧一事无成
Begging different women for a place to sleep at night
每天晚上去向不同的女人讨一个住处
Smart boys turn to men and do whatever they wish
聪明的男孩子会变成真正的男人,然后去实现他们想做的一切
If you believe you can achieve, then say it like this

纽约的Rap皇帝,Eninem的早期模仿对象,JAY-Z的死对头(应该是曾经的死对头),东岸的领军人物,被称做街头诗人的Nas。其作品I can早被认做是rap界的经典。

有人说他是纽约之王,如果有两个选择的话,Nas绝对当之无愧,可是JAY-Z比他更会应付大众,就两人音乐实力来说的话,个人认为NAS在JAY-Z之上的,但一综合,两人就各占半壁江山,统治着近几年的New York City。

这首《I can》由童声说唱+《天鹅湖》背景音乐+NAS的流利rap,没有烦躁的节奏和含糊的语言。
