As we headed to the crib, yes I let her give me head So she won't remember where I live - my game is tight Baby no need to bring pajamas, you ain't staying the night No disrespect, I just say it polite I drop her off before I sleep, I be praying for life Like Hov said it “Can I Live?” Aye dear Lord, “Can I live?” Now am I living to get paid just slaves for a wage, are we I can't do no 9-to-5 told my momma “sorry” I can't do no suit and tie, no I want the glory If you knew me know my life is like a movie starring me Pardon me, if it seems that I'm following my dreams I ain't reading off the script that they picked for me I ain't pissed, naw couldn’t give a shit hardly I be shitting on them niggas that was shitting on me Will I live or will I die before they get to know me If I go I know the ones that’s pouring liquor for me And I know the fake niggas really hating on me Knew that I was 'bout to blow so they was waiting on me But Oh-No, Lord See I'm smarter than they know So hold on, Lord, cause I ain't quite ready to go Can I live? Somebody told me that it's only one shot So I'll be God damn, If I'm ever gonna stop Promise to my momma I'mma make it to the top So I'mma keep climbing 'til my heartbeat drop Like the phone when she heard the news Her sister on the other line talking to her shoes The only son, what a thing to lose More blacks singing more blues More niggas pouring more brews Poor dude he was young like 21, straight up out that city that I'm from A real smart nigga, but his niggas they was dumb He ain't even get a chance to run Before it landed in his lung God, breathe nigga His partner screaming “Don’t you fucking leave, nigga!!” Took off his shirt trynna stop the bleeding nigga, “Don’t you go!” But his life fading slow Did I tell my mom I love her, do she know Did I tell my baby sorry from before Won't get to see my son grow Lord I ain't ready to go Can I live? Can I live? Dear Lord, Can I live? Can I live?
