BE WHAT YOU WANNA BE

[verse 1]
they said I'd amount to nothing
proclaimed it like it was fact
they said that I couldn't add
that I could not subtract
if they all could see me now
they'd have to take it back
cause where it says "the manager"
is where I hang my hat
[chorus]
you can be what you wanna be
'cause doubt is just a crutch
you can be what you wanna be
the sky's not hard to touch
I worked up from the bottom
without a college degree
you can be what you wanna be
as a manager trainee
[instrumental]
[verse 2]
started in sanitation
worked hard to show them all
then maitre d' of excellence
with proof hung on the wall
and when at station finance
I broke bills of every size
but sales is where I took the lead
as the king of supersize
[chorus]
you can be what you wanna be
'cause doubt is just a crutch
you can be what you wanna be
the sky's not hard to touch
I worked up from the bottom
without a college degree
you can be what you wanna be
as a manager trainee
[instrumental]
[verse 3]
I still drive my pickup
it's good enough for me
an executive with limits
on a modest salary
I've learned how to get by
and to face reality
and I thank my lack of credit
for keeping me debt free
[chorus]
you can be what you wanna be
'cause doubt is just a crutch
you can be what you wanna be
the sky's not hard to touch
worked up from the bottom
without a college degree
be what you wanna be
yeah take a look at me
