Can I Live - J. Cole (J. 科尔)[00:00:00]
My passion never been a fan of flashing[00:00:03]
Probably 'cause I never could so if I had it never would[00:00:05]
Then I got my first little taste of paper and I splurged[00:00:08]
I guess it's just the ni**a urge this is the boondocks[00:00:11]
I swear yo I'm like huey mixed with riley[00:00:14]
Thursday I be tryn'na save the[00:00:16]
World then on Friday I hit the club[00:00:17]
Hoping that my dick get rubbed by some fat asses[00:00:19]
Ni**s get to scraping then you hear the gats blasting damn[00:00:22]
Older n***as ain't got no problems with me[00:00:25]
My momma told me to speak like[00:00:27]
You got a college degree[00:00:28]
You see I can but I won't[00:00:30]
Plus I'm saying what I won't[00:00:31]
Plus this slang that I speak don't change that I'm deep[00:00:33]
That's the throat on a certified freak while she choke[00:00:35]
As we headed to the crib yes[00:00:38]
I let her give me head so she won't remember where I live[00:00:39]
My game is tight baby no need to bring pajamas[00:00:42]
You ain't staying the night[00:00:45]
No disrespect I just say it polite[00:00:46]
I drop her off before I sleep I be praying for life[00:00:48]
Like hov said it can I live[00:00:51]
Aye dear lord can I live[00:00:54]
Now am I living to get paid just[00:00:56]
Slaves for a wage all week[00:00:58]
I can't do no 9 to 5 told my momma sorry[00:01:00]
I can't do no suit and tie no I want the glory[00:01:02]
If you knew me know my life[00:01:05]
Is like a movie starring me[00:01:06]
Pardon me if it seems that I'm following my dreams[00:01:08]
I ain't reading off the script that they picked for me[00:01:10]
I ain't pissed naw could'nt give a sh*t hardly[00:01:13]
I be shitting on them n***as that was shitting on me[00:01:16]
Will I live or will I die before they get to know me[00:01:19]
If I go I know the ones that's pouring liquor for me[00:01:21]
And I know the fake n***as really hating on me[00:01:24]
Knew that I was bout to blow[00:01:27]
So they was waiting on me[00:01:28]
But oh no lord[00:01:30]
See I'm smarter then they know[00:01:32]
So hold on lord 'cause I ain't quite ready to go[00:01:35]
Can I live[00:01:40]
Somebody told me that it's only one shot so[00:01:42]
I'll be god damn if I'm ever gonna stop[00:01:44]
Promise to my momma I'm a make it to the top[00:01:47]
So I'm a keep climbing to my heartbeat drop[00:01:50]
Like the phone when she heard the news[00:01:53]
Her sister on the other line talking to her shoes[00:01:55]
The only son what a thing to lose[00:01:58]
More blacks singing more blues[00:02:00]
More n***as pouring more brews[00:02:02]
Poor dude he was young like 21 strait up out[00:02:04]
That city that I'm from[00:02:07]
A real smart ni**a but his n***as they was dumb[00:02:08]
He ain't even get a chance to run[00:02:11]
Before it landed in his lung[00:02:13]
God breath ni**a[00:02:15]
His partner screaming don't you fleave ni**a[00:02:17]
Took off his shirt tryn'na stop the[00:02:19]
Bleeding ni**a don't you go[00:02:21]
But his life fading slow[00:02:23]
Did I tell my mom I love her do she know[00:02:25]
Did I tell my baby sorry from before[00:02:28]
Won't get to see my son grow[00:02:31]
Lord I ain't ready to go[00:02:34]
Can I live can I live dear lord can I live[00:02:35]
Can I live[00:02:43]
