Can I Live (Amended Version) - Black Rob/The Lox

Uh yeah yeah

What yeah what what yeah yeah

Uh huh what yeah what what

Yo yo yo yo yo

Yo this is a monopoly

Ni**a ain't stopping me

And we can't lose cuz puff set us up properly

Just won't settle for lesser

Who wanna test us

We be in the 5 with the goose headrests

L O X Put ni**a under pressure

You should knew that

It's always them new cats that will get ya

Better start looking at things from my angle

I'm trying to be up on

The board with a triangle

Next to my name with a 10 or a 20

Now that's when you really can say

You getting money

But right now all I do is sit back and listen

To a wise young man

Who quickly became a rich one

Put me up on the fact

That it ain't hard to get some

Chips if I just keep writing with ambition

Then I get an advance

From the 5 to the 6 and

House with 2 kitchens

Diamonds plenty women

Built-in pool to swim in

But the plan is to start from the floor

And raise it up

Then you hit em in the head

Until your days is up

You blazing what playboy you frail and butt

You know when bad boy drops

All your sales is cut

No one man can stop me

Can I live no front-line can block me

Can I live its enough base for all of us

Can I live without the names they calling us

Can I live no one man can stop me

Can I live no front-line can block me

Can I live or do I gatta bring it to these kids

Can I live if I don't live nobody lives

Money is power so I'm sour

22 feeling like I've wasted every hour

Of my life should been had a million in ice

High as a kite feeling the flight turbulence

Once in a blue moon I had a dream of fly sh*t

Hanglide to the alps with this fly chick

Condo in fresno with the lesbo

And the honey that she hit

Know how to stretch blow

They know that I'm styles

They respect the flow

Why don't y'all let a ni**a live

And help him make a decimal

Truth will set you free what will a lie do

Tell him I'm god but I be getting high too

The money like the ni**a beside you

Cuz when the paper gone you gone slide too

Wanna ball but got to fall to rise

While the world spins around

They wanna stall they eyes

Close they ears my nose

Makes me oppose my fear

Cuz I can smell hell

Before I sell rat I'll catch a shell farewell

Ni**a will never tell

Their man that I was p**sy

Unless they got a gun

And I ain't got one I might let you push me

No one man can stop me

Can I live no front-line can block me

Can I live its enough base for all of us

Can I live without the names they calling us

Can I live no one man can stop me

Can I live no front-line can block me

Can I live or do I gatta bring it to these kids

Can I live if I don't live nobody lives

I pray to god to promise me

Before I see the pearly gates

To let my whole team be straight

Mansion no section 8

Putting pressure so that I can make this bed

Got 2 mattresses now all I need is the spread

With like 4 pillows so my seeds

Can rest their heads

You think platinum is enough

Nah sheek want more

Trying to sell more than

Tickle me elmo in the store

Italian cuisine linguin

While my diamonds like-SHING

So when I move at night-time

You might think it's light-NING

Just throw me the ball once

And I'll tell you no lie

Sheek gonna show you money like jerry mcguire

It's a thug thing L O X Product thing

Conducting

Anything for chips

While you sit and blab your lips

In the restaurant taking tips while sheek on trips

Logos on our ships busting at the eclipse

While I'm pissy spitting up crissy in the water

But you can do that for money

When 100's like a quarter

Can I live no one man can stop me

Can I live no front-line can block me

Can I live its enough base for all of us

Can I live without the names they calling us

Can I live no one man can stop me

Can I live no front-line can block me

Can I live or do I gatta bring it to these kids

Can I live if I don't live nobody lives

This is to my AK tollas money bill foldas

Bambin soldiers whips wit big motors

On the low for years the feds can't decode us

We bust rounds all you gotta do is load us

My night time prowlers

And grimmey after hours

Karl kani mumalo wear eddie bauers

Flippin cake niggaz who strip and take ni**a

Upstate ni**a my crystal lake ni**a

We gonna hold it down if we gotta shake ni**a

And make ni**a do what we say

Or break ni**a

Survival of the fitist it ain't me cause I did it

Now you see me shinnin 2 mill with my diamonds

And I owe it all to heart grimmin

Don't mean i'm gonna stop climbin

9-9 it's good timin

I salute my thugs who rock

Pay 30 thou for the slum

Make it happen

I swear to god if I don't make it rappin

I'm clappin extortin

And robbin ni**a cribs and contactin

Can I live

Can I live no one man can stop me

Can I live no front-line can block me

Can I live or do I gatta bring it to these kids

Can I live if I don't live nobody lives

Can I live no one man can stop me
