Try - Jill Scott

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

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

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

If you want it to happen baybay 6x
