Try If You Want
Beres Hammond Lyrics

As poor as I am I've got my ambition
Despite my financial state, I have a strong desire and determination to achieve my goals.

Keep my distance from war and contention
I avoid conflicts and fights to maintain peace and harmony in my life.

I might not be rich but I sure got style
Though I don't have a lot of money, I have my own unique way of doing things and I am confident in my abilities and choices.

Got some good friends, but still some who hate me
I have friends who support me, but also some who are jealous or resentful of me.

Tell their lies, and still that don't quake me
I am not affected by the lies or false accusations made by my enemies and critics.

The joy that's inside brings out my healthy smile
My inner happiness and contentment make me radiate positivity and joy.

Try if you want, can't stop me
You can make an effort to stop me, but you won't succeed in doing so.

Lie if you want, still won't move me
Even if you spread false information about me, it won't affect my determination and inner strength.

Won't move me, no
I am too strong and resolute to be influenced or shaken by your attempts to bring me down.

I know who I am, I don't let nobody underestimate me
I have a strong sense of self and I don't allow anyone to belittle me or underestimate my worth.

The father will humble you like a child
God will teach you a lesson and show you your place if you act arrogantly or disrespectfully towards me.

I'm getting stronger, so much stronger day by day
I am steadily growing in strength, mentally and emotionally, with each passing day.

Amidst all the pressures, I've still got to make it
Despite the challenges and difficulties I face, I am determined to accomplish my goals.

The sky is my limit, so keep your idle talk
I have unlimited potential and possibilities, and I don't pay attention to the negative or useless opinions of others.

There's so much in life if you're willing to earn it
Life has a lot to offer, but you need to strive and work hard to achieve your goals and dreams.

Awake from the slumber, open up your eyes
Stop being ignorant and unaware of the opportunities and realities of life, and start being more awake and mindful.

I'm getting stronger, so much stronger (stronger and stronger)
I am growing in strength more and more each day, and becoming even more determined to succeed.

And you can't move me, no (can't move me, can't move me)
You have no power to influence or affect me, as I am strong and resolute in my determination to achieve my goals.
