Can I Live lyrics
by Jadakiss
[Chorus: Jadakiss, (Styles P)]
Can I live? (Hell yeah, but you still gon' die)
Cmon, n*gga, you a thug (But I'm still gon' cry)
And you done Learned Off eXperience (I'm still gon' ride)
They kill me, you gon' kill them? (I still got pride)
Can I live? (Hell yeah, but you still gon' die)
Cmon, n*gga, you a thug (But I'm still gon' cry)
And you done Learned Off eXperience (I'm still gon' ride)
They kill me, you gon' kill them? (I still got pride)
[Verse 1: Jadakiss]
Yo, now, I done said everything y'all possibly say
Ask them n*ggas in your camp, is you hotter than J...
A-D-A-K-I, two S's
A true message: y'all better wear a few vests-es
Live pussies, 'bout to be dead di*ks
I pack guns that shoot through schools, the red bricks
And just because you might'a seen me on an award show
I'm still in the hood, n*gga, gettin' raw dough
And later on tonight, I might be hittin' your ho
And I got more money, so I'm coppin more dro
Everything I said I meant, B – y'all gon tempt me
To rob y'all, spend your whole stash on my empties
*Mwah* yours truly; can't do nothing to me
Think you Scarface, but you ain't see the end of the movie
I'm the type of n*gga that'll take 5 cakes
Turn 'em into 5 acres, faster than 5 Lakers
Lay back, get high, tote my gun around
Throw a string on the pony, so I can tote my son around
[Verse 2: Sheek Louch, (Styles P)]
Aiyyo – the path I walk is steel, who the f*ck won't I kill?
Thin as that line down the hundreds that you can tell if it's real
Smooth as Sinatra, you can tell by my posture I'm street
f*ck the forecast, I'll let you know what day'll be heat
See, I recruit smart n*ggas with heart, no dumb n*ggas
Who will kill over money, not b*tches, like some n*ggas
I think marketable – f*ck y'all n*ggas who stay bummin'
I'm that n*gga sellin' pills at all the Howard homecomings
If you get high? I got weed, and if you get drunk? I got vodka
And if you want base I got popcorn like Orville Redenbacher
See, I'm Bullseye, I empty my banana in ya bandana – first try
Never will my bullets miss a vic' (What?)
I use one to do a hit, on some Professional sh*t – b*tch!
(Hah, that's crazy...)
[Chorus: Jadakiss, (Styles P)]
Can I live? (Hell yeah, but you still gon' die)
Cmon, n*gga, you a thug (But I'm still gon' cry)
And you done Learned Off eXperience (I'm still gon' ride)
They kill me, you gon' kill them? (I still got pride)
Can I live? (Hell yeah, but you still gon' die)
Cmon, n*gga, you a thug (But I'm still gon' cry)
And you done Learned Off eXperience (I'm still gon' ride)
They kill me, you gon' kill them? (I still got pride)
[Verse 3: Kasino]
Outta three-fourths of them n*ggas who cross your path
Minus them half-ass who talk fast and finish last
Who gon' get his cash, turn to his man, and give him half?
c*ck the hammer back, stood by his side, and didn't dash?
When the charge is federal, and they fingerprint his ass:
Who can he trust to be, in front of the judge, screamin' "it's just me"?
It must be, more than just a n*gga's love
Make him do 5 joints, no contact, without givin' his n*ggas up
Give his keys to his truck, wish his n*ggas luck
Call his best fit, suggested that she let his n*ggas f*ck
Finger-f*ck them figures up, no parole, bigger truck
Kasino is that name big enough – n*gga, what?!
[Verse 4: Styles P]
You wouldn't bust your gat wit' me if you never sat wit' me
Lit up a sack wit me, or hustle some cracks wit' me
Came through the cipher, bowed down, and spat wit me
Hopped out the truck and gave n*ggas daps wit me
You never laughed wit' me, never went half wit' me
Never been through the struggle, never felt the wrath wit' me
Never slept on the same floor, or hit the same whore
Ran up in the same store, or with the same 4
Blood thicker than water? Only in certain cases
You need water to live, you learn that in the basicscs
Better cherish your aces
Bullets in the faces of the jokers
We laugh at fire, n*gga – we smokers
Sittin' on the sofa, puffin' the hash, n*gga, we focused
Why lie? I'll die where the coke is
[Chorus: Jadakiss, (Styles P)]
Can I live? (Hell yeah, but you still gon' die)
Cmon, n*gga, you a thug (But I'm still gon' cry)
And you done Learned Off eXperience (I'm still gon' ride)
They kill me, you gon' kill them? (I still got pride)
Can I live? (Hell yeah, but you still gon' die)
Cmon, n*gga, you a thug (But I'm still gon' cry)
And you done Learned Off eXperience (I'm still gon' ride)
They kill me, you gon' kill them? (I still got pride)
Can I live? (Hell yeah...)
(What?) Ruff Ryders!
