Verse 1
For all the mamas who be stuck at home
For all the papa’s who be doing it alone
Take a breathe take a one, two, three
Take a breath, make it work for me

For all the young’uns who be on the streets
Lost souls, no shoes on their feet
Take a breathe take a one, two three
Take a breath, make it work for me

For all my sisters who be living through
Heartache and troubles, don’t know what to do
Take a breathe, take a one, two, three
Take a breath, make it work for me

For all my brothers struggling
Tryna be the man yet hurting
Take a breathe take a one, two three
Take a breath, make it work for me

Chorus
Girl you can, assume you can
Boy you can, take command

Make it work for me, make it work for me
Make it work for me, make it work for me

Verse 2
Girl, I know just where you’re at
Shooting low ‘cause you think that’s all you can get, get
Take a breathe, take a one, two, three
Take a breath, make it work for me

Boy so much controversey
Living in reverse never worked for me
Take a breathe, take a one, two, three
Take a breath, make it work for me

Take a look at the people that ‘av made it
Dreaming large, working hard, not handed to em on a plate
Take a breathe, take a one, two, three
Take a breath, make it work for me

Took a chance, a risk, for my destiny
Been so blessed, the rest is just history
Take a breathe, take a one, two, three
Take a breath, and you’ll start to see (and you will see?)

Chorus
Girl you can, assume you can
Boy you can, take command

Make it work for me, make it work for me
Make it work for me, make it work for me

Bridge
Girl visualise it could be you having that life
Now boy
I’m not necessarily talking about material things
But if you stop believing what they say
You’ll start to live for real today

Chorus
My sisters now, my brothers yeah, my sisters
My sisters, my brothers
You can, you can, just do it
