"I Can" is the second single from the Nas album, God's Son.

Nas claims that before his mother died she had requested he write an inspirational song for children, and "I Can" is the result.^{[citation needed]}

The song heavily samples Beethoven's Für Elise and The Honey Drippers' "Impeach The President".
