Yeah!
***** my passion, never been a fan of flas*ing
Probably cause I never could so if I had it, never would.
Then I got my first little taste of paper, and I splurged
I guess it's just the ***** urge, this is the Boondocks
I swear yo I'm like Huey mixed with Riley
Thursday I be trynna save the world, then on Friday I hit the club
Hoping that my **** get rubbed by some fat asses
****** get to scraping then you hear the gats blasting Damn!
older ****** ain't got no problems with me
My momma told me to speak like you got a college degree
You see I can, but I won't
Plus I'm saying what I won't
Plus this slang that I speak don't change that I'm deep
That's the throat, on a certified freak, while she choke?
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? Hey!
Now am I Living to get paid just slaves for a wage （all week）
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 could'ntgive a s*it （hardly）
I be s*itting on them ****** that was s*itting 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 ****** 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 then they know-oh-oh
So hold on, Lord, Cause I ain't quite ready to go-oh oh

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'm a make it to the top
So I'm a keep climbing to 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 ****** pouring more brews
Poor dude he was young like 21, strait up out that city that I'm from
A real smart *****, but his ****** they was dumb
He ain't even get a chance to run
Before it landed in his lung
God, breath *****.
His partner screaming Don't you *** leave *****!
Took off his s*irt trynna stop the bleeding *****, 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 befo
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? Yea
