Lyrics

[chorus] If you want it to happen baybay Hold fast and believe You can make it happen baybay You can be where u pleaze All you gotta do is try Then try once again Then try a few more times Then try after then When I was a little girl Raised on N. Philly streets I'd hear my people say Ghetto'z all they'd be But my mommy would hold me Quietly give me peace She'd look me in my eyes and she'd say to me Chorus As a teenager I dreamed to see the world But how could I do this me a poor black girl And just when my will was lost And all hope seemed set free I'd remember my mama's face and her tellin' me Chorus Try try try Try try try Try try try Try and try again (repeat) Now as a grown woman I still stumble and fall But wit a lot of faith and the same amount of effort I can withstand it all I dun see some thangs now and been a few places I'm now enjoyin' the beautiful world and the many new faces I say Chorus If you want it to happen baybay 6x
