T-Bone "Can I Live" |
Can I live? Can I live?Yeah, it's me, huh, I know you all seen meI'm the one who brings the blingin'Pushin' whips and 22 inch chromes spinnin'(Can I live?)La da y'all wanna judge me? Hair braided up, pants saggin'Can I just live, yo?(Yo, I'm just tryna live)Why can? t y'all leave me alone?Man seem like everybody be judging meTalkin' behind my back, fakin' the smiles and huggin' mePointin' fingers, hatin', jealous of my successPraying for my downfall, can?t handle me being blessedNow you? d rather see me at the bottom of the totem pollScraping for dollars on the edge 'bout to lose controlBack on the corner, still livin' in the projectsStill strugglin' down and out with no prophetsStill drivin' through the hood in a bucketI?m 'bout bringing my people over like I?m Harriet Tubman, huhBeen through the fire like Kanye WestBeat the odds, now I? m on shuffles and i-podsSee most of y'all could never reach stature'Cuz half of you gangsta rappers is gangsta actorsAnd back-stabbers, y'all got the game backwardsBut Bone and Darkchild make hits like linebackersCan I live?If you wanna be in my shoes then get inYou can talk the talk but don't live the life I liveSo can I live? That?s my question, can I?Can I live?If you wanna be in my shoes then get inYou can talk the talk but don't live the life I liveSo can I live? That?s my question, can I?I shed blood, sweat and tears, been on this grind for yearsI? m at the top of the charts, no respect from peersI could be the franchise still I?m chastisedSpreading ya lies, need to recognize there?s two sidesMy whole life been the underdogAgainst the odds, back still against the wallFighting to represent in the ring for GodConsciously makin' records for a different causeThis crab game keep pullin' me downBut like Ron Artest been known to reboundAnd like Roy Jones, I?m pound for poundSpittin' a different kind of message over platinum soundsCan I get some love and a little respect?Can I rock your world without giving you sex?And can I live in peace? Man I paid my duesYou? ll never know where I been until ya walked in my shoesCan I live?If you wanna be in my shoes then get inYou can talk the talk but don't live the life I liveSo can I live? That?s my question, can I? (Can I live yo?)Can I live? If you wanna be in my shoes then get inYou can talk the talk but don't live the life I liveSo can I live? That?s my question, can I? Yeah, I?m in it for the long hall, committed to the end like John PaulI? m tryin' to make a change, throw stones if I?m wrongIf you can do it better then by all meansShoot for the stars but stop crushin' all my life?s dreamsAnd let me fulfill my destiny and purposeWhy you try to make me feel no good and worthless? This life is all a player got to giveSo back up and give me room to breath, can I live? Can I live?If you wanna be in my shoes then get inYou can talk the talk but don't live the life I live (It ain't easy, yo)So can I live? That?s my question, can I? (Can I live, yo?)Can I live? If you wanna be in my shoes then get inYou can talk the talk but don't live the life I live (Ya ain't been in my shoes)So can I live? That?s my question, can I? Can I live?If you wanna be in my shoes then get in (Yeah, so hard, yo)You can talk the talk but don't live the life I live (Just tryna be me)So can I live? That?s my question, can I? (It's only when I know how, yo)Can I live? (Came from the ghetto I'm just tryin' to give back)If you wanna be in my shoes then get in (Ya ain't ever walked in my shoes)You can talk the talk but don't live the life I live (So y'all don't know what I've been through)So can I live? That?s my question, can I? (How can y'all judge me? Can I live, yo?)I feel about myself in this world sometimesNobody relates what I've been tryna do for so many yearsJust tryna make a change, make a difference in all your livesCan I live? Can I live?
