if i try lyrics

I could do whatever I try
Can't life pass me by
It's okay to say no
You wanna make it then you gotta say go

[Chorus:]
Can't let life pass me by
You could make it if you try
Hold your head up high
You might touch the sky
Can't let life pass me by
You could make it if you try
Hold your head up high
You might touch the sky

Look in the sky you know where it came from?
Plenty stars but the moon we only got one
Me and you we all people shawty
We all human so we people shawty
God made adam then He made eve
Plenty apples fell from the tree
Can't forget about the birds and the bees
God's tears built the seas
And from our parents came you and me
Now you can be what you wanna be

It's time to make the right move (uhhuh)
You can be smart in school (uhhuh)
All you gotta do is study shawty
Troublemakers ain't your buddies shawty
Stay focused say no to drugs
Respect your elders by showing em love yeah,

[Chorus]

I could be a doctor I could be a lawyer
I could be the next Michael Jordan or Vince Carter
I could be a teacher cause I love to read
I could be a fireman or a police
I wanna be a scientist and save the world
Or I can be a veterinarian and study squirrels
I could be the president just need your vote
Too many kids dying we just need your support
I could be like Master P and own my own business
Or operator or a technition
I like airplanes I could be a pilot
I wanna be a dentist I would go to college
Or I could be on TV and be a superstar
Or I could be a mechanic and fix cars
I could be an astronaut and fly to the moon
I always gonna be me, you gonna be you

[Chorus]

Can't let life pass me by (uh ha)
I can make it if I try (uh ha)
But I gotta keep my head up high (uh ha)
And I might touch the sky (uh ha)
Can't let life pass me by (uh ha)
I can make it if I try (uh ha)
But I gotta keep my head up high (uh ha)
And I might touch the sky (uh aite)
