[00:02.19] Yeah!
[00:03.51] Pussy my passion, never been a fan of flashing
[00:05.42] Probably cause I never could so if I had it, never would.
[00:08.20] Then I got my first little taste of paper, and I splurged
[00:11.02] I guess it's just the nigga urge, this is the Boondocks
[00:14.01] I swear yo I'm like Huey mixed with Riley
[00:16.02] Thursday I be trynna save the world, then on Friday I hit the club
[00:18.69] Hoping that my dick get rubbed by some fat asses
[00:22.21] Niggas get to scraping then you hear the gats blasting Damn!
[00:24.68] older niggas ain't got no problems with me
[00:27.13] My momma told me to speak like you got a college degree
[00:29.78] You see I can, but I won't
[00:31.54] Plus I'm saying what I won't
[00:32.84] Plus this slang that I speak don't change that I'm deep
[00:35.64] That's the throat, on a certified freak, while she choke?
[00:38.25] As we headed to the crib, yes I let her give me head so she won't remember where I live
[00:42.00] My game is tight, baby no need to bring pajamas, you ain't staying the night
[00:46.13] No disrespect, I just say it polite
[00:48.34] I drop her off before I sleep, I be praying for life
[00:51.25] Like Hov said it Can I Live?
[00:53.86] Aye dear Lord, Can I live? Hey!
[00:56.45] Now am I Living to get paid just slaves for a wage (all week)
[00:59.52] I can't do no 9 to 5 told my momma (sorry)
[01:02.62] I can't do no suit and tie, no I want the (glory)
[01:05.41] If you knew me know my life is like a movie starring me
[01:08.13] Pardon me, if it seems that I'm following my dreams
[01:11.64] I ain't reading off the script that they picked (for me)
[01:13.64] I ain't pissed, naw could'ntgive a shit (hardly)
[01:16.27] I be shitting on them niggas that was shitting on me
[01:19.01] Will I live or will I die before they get to know me
[01:21.66] If I go I know the ones that's pouring liquor for me
[01:24.41] And I know the fake niggas really hating on me
[01:27.19] Knew that I was bout to blow so they was waiting on me
[01:29.87] But Oh-No, Lord
[01:32.13] See I'm smarter then they know-oh-oh
[01:35.12] So hold on, Lord, Cause I ain't quite ready to go-oh oh
[01:37.42]
[01:40.45] Can I live
[01:41.68]
[01:42.34] Somebody told me that it's only one shot, so I'll be God damn, If I'm ever gonna stop
[01:47.35] Promise to my momma I'm a make it to the top
[01:49.75] So I'm a keep climbing to my heartbeat drop
[01:53.28] Like the phone when she heard the news
[01:55.39] Her sister on the other line talking to her shoes
[01:57.83] The only son, what a thing to lose
[01:59.88] More blacks singing more blues
[02:02.02] More niggas pouring more brews
[02:04.09] Poor dude he was young like 21, strait up out that city that I'm from
[02:08.53] A real smart Nigga, but his niggas they was dumb
[02:11.07] He ain't even get a chance to run
[02:12.92] Before it landed in his lung
[02:15.10] God, breath nigga.
[02:17.12] His partner screaming Don't you *** leave nigga!
[02:19.61] Took off his shirt trynna stop the bleeding nigga, Don't you go!
[02:23.42] But his life fading slow
[02:25.39] Did I tell my mom I love her, do she know?
[02:27.62] Did I tell my baby sorry from befo
[02:31.17] Won't get to see my son grow
[02:34.12] Lord I ain't ready to go
