[Verse 1: Christian Beadles]
(Yes I can)
Download the introduction
We bout to change some lives
And when the whole world's repeating this then we've arrived
This for my generation
My family and friends
We've all been through the fire so now we bout to start this trend
I see this like a movement
An anthem for this time
The match that sparks improvement concentrated in my rhymes
There's power in expression
To move the public eye
There's power in this music - we decide there's "no compromise"
Economies have fallen
We all could use a boost
I wonder what would happen if we started spillin' truth
A task that's overwhelming
But I can surely dream
A demonstration of when words become like laser beams
We'll make the news with this one but
That ain't what we about
Three words that make a difference
Tweet 'em - I'mma spell 'em out
Here what you say when you're feeling at an end
It's simple y-e-s-i-c-a-n
[Hook: Christian Beadles]
When people tell you what you'll never do - "Yes I Can"
You wanna be apart of something new - "Yes I Can"
"Yes I Can"
"Yes I Can"
If you believe in making history - "Yes I Can"
You wanna help us shape the industry - "Yes I Can"
"Yes I Can"
"Yes I Can"
[Verse 2: Christian Beadles]
I believe collectively
We could soon effectively
Help to bring positive change all prospectively
So we'll selectively
Speak this objectively
"yes I can" when a problem is perpetually
Holding us back from what we feel is our destiny
Yes I can when circumstances get the best of me
One simple phrase that you speak everyday
While at school - while at work
As we slowly move away
From the old to this new
Where your future's up to you
Where the "once we wished" is the "now we do"
See there's power in our numbers
Here's the choice - it's up to you
Take a moment - find a way to help me grow this into
The new thing someone says
Off the top of their head
When this life brings resistance
I need your a**istance
Yes I can - and I will with persistence
Now is our time - don't miss this! Listen!
[Hook: Christian Beadles]
[Verse 3: MarsRaps]
So here's what you do
If this music speaks to you
Twitter, Facebook and YouTube
Every time you run into
Obstacles that hinder you
From what you know you should do
Be creative and be cool
Yo together we will do
Anything that we choose
Show the world just how much power's in a simple "me and you"
And when people tell you stop it tell 'em change is overdue
"Yes I can" - you should too
There's a song I got for you
Here's the link - just listen to it
