Can It Be(Half A Million Dollars And 18 Months Later) - Murs[00:00:00]
It's been two years man[00:00:01]
Of of of waitin' man[00:00:05]
(Can it be I stayed away too long )[00:00:10]
From my supporters and my fans[00:00:13]
Man I know y'all been waitin'[00:00:14]
Now it's finally here and thank you for your patience[00:00:15]
The world's gone crazy since we last spoke[00:00:18]
Bloodshed and war the absence of hope[00:00:20]
Shootin' at the school economy's a joke[00:00:23]
Homies on heroine homies on coke[00:00:25]
But can you even blame 'em[00:00:28]
When they only tryin' to cope damn [00:00:29]
(Can it be I stayed away too long )[00:00:31]
All these rappers wanna talk about is guns and d**e[00:00:33]
Don't they realize we all at the end of our rope[00:00:35]
The future all depends in the power of our quotes[00:00:38]
The power of a pen the power of a vote[00:00:41]
The power of your words the power of your voice[00:00:43]
The power of America's the freedom of choice[00:00:46]
We choose to do nothin' we lose and we sufferin'[00:00:49]
(Can it be )[00:00:51]
That it's time to do somethin'[00:00:52]
It's not socialism it's not communism[00:00:54]
It's lovin' each other realize there's no difference[00:00:56]
It's positive movement gradual improvement[00:00:59]
When no one else does believe you can do it[00:01:02]
My heart is a speaker I bleed this music[00:01:04]
The beat's in my blood I must transfuse it[00:01:07]
If it wasn't for this yeah I just might lose it damn[00:01:09]
(Can it be I stayed away too long )[00:01:12]
My goddaughters Nadia Simone[00:01:15]
Diana know when not our father's ever comin' home[00:01:17]
Claim by the streets with them other war zone[00:01:20]
Tears in my eyes as I'm writin' this song[00:01:22]
Mommy workin' two jobs tryin' to do it on her own[00:01:25]
No matter where I go or how far I roam[00:01:27]
Know that I love and you'll never be alone[00:01:30]
(Can it be )[00:01:32]
Damn y'all so grown[00:01:34]
And a and a wise man told me man like[00:01:36]
(You don't have to worry 'cause I'm coming)[00:01:37]
Life is like a table full of like glasses of water[00:01:39]
(Back to where I should have always stayed)[00:01:41]
And your job is to keep 'em all full [00:01:43]
You know what I'm sayin'[00:01:45]
So everyone's happy[00:01:46]
(And now I've heard the maybe to your story)[00:01:47]
But at the same time [00:01:47]
You gotta keep your pitcher full of water[00:01:49]
So you could fill everybody else up[00:01:51]
(And it's enough love for me to stay)[00:01:52]
And it's like damn[00:01:54]
(Can it be I stayed away too long )[00:01:56]
From the independent hip hop scene[00:01:59]
Now they talkin' like how I'm not a hip hop fiend[00:02:01]
Needle in my arm can't they see I'm O D 'in [00:02:03]
You'll never take the strife from this triple O G in[00:02:06]
I blaze trails created festivals[00:02:09]
Lost fifty G's on paid dues is that acceptable[00:02:11]
What I'm not down for the cause[00:02:14]
(Can it be )[00:02:16]
Hold on Mike I'ma need a few bars[00:02:18]
I could've done the Nas and scream hip hop is dead[00:02:19]
I got up off my a** and I did somethin' instead[00:02:22]
Signed with the devil brought the scene up a level[00:02:24]
Killed the beast from within I'm a born again rebel[00:02:27]
Tryin' to save the youth from the way of the gun[00:02:29]
And if I only save one then my job is done[00:02:32]
So you can say what you will but you should judge me none[00:02:34]
(Can it be I stayed away too long )[00:02:37]
From my God from my faith as I move place to place[00:02:40]
Times I thought if I could just die it'd be great[00:02:42]
Drop on the spot man I didn't even care[00:02:45]
I stopped talkin' to you I stopped sayin' prayers[00:02:47]
Numb from the liquor and the antidepressants[00:02:50]
Pressure from the label studio stressin'[00:02:52]
Almost lost my passion to pursue this profession[00:02:55]
(Can it be I stayed away too long )[00:02:58]
From myself from my soul when I'm out on the road[00:03:00]
I give so much shout to these kids I don't know[00:03:03]
I thought I lost you with no one to talk to[00:03:06]
But you're the one that open up these doors that I walk through[00:03:08]
I can't fault you only forgive you[00:03:11]
I'm the only one that seen the pain that you been through[00:03:13]
The drama the struggle that built all your issues[00:03:16]
(Can it be I stayed away too long )[00:03:18]
The drama the struggle that built all these issues[00:03:21]
Is all just to make sure they never forget you[00:03:23]
Did I leave your mind when I was gone [00:03:26]
It's not my thing trying to get back[00:03:32]
But this time let me tell you where I'm at[00:03:37]
