Can I Live (Featuring the Lox)(Amended Version)

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, **** ain't stopping me

And we can't lose 'cause Puff set us up properly

Just won't settle for lesser, who wan' test us?

We be in the 5 with the goose headrests

LOX put **** under pressure

You shoulda knew that, it's always them new cats that'll 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 ten or a twenty

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 that quickly became a rich one

Put me up on the fact it ain't hard to get some

Chips if I just keep writing with ambition

Then I could advance from the five to the six and

House with two 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 'til your days is up

You blazing, what? Playboy, you frail and butt

You know when Bad Boy drops, all your sales is cut

Can I live? No one man can stop me

Can I live? No frontline can block me

Can I live? It's 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 frontline can block me

Can I live? Or do I gotta bring it to these kids?

Can I live? If I don't live, nobody live

Time is money, money is power so I'm sour

22 feeling like I've wasted every hour of my life

Shoulda been had a million in ice

High as a kite, feeling the flight, turbulence

Once in a blue moon I have a dream of fly ****

Hang-glide to the Alps with a fly chick

Condo in Fresno with the ****

And the honey that she hit know how to ****

They know that I'm Styles, they respect the flow

Why don't y'all let a **** help him make a decimal?

Truth will set you free, what will a lie do?

Said I'm God, but I be gettin' high too

**** the money like the **** beside you

'Cause when the paper gone, you gon' slide too

**** wanna ball, but got to fall to rise

While the world spin around they wanna stall they eyes

Close they ears, my nose makes me oppose my fear

'Cause I can smell hell

Before I sell out, rather catch a shell, farewell

**** never tell their man that I was ****

Unless they got a gun and I ain't got one, I might let you push me

Can I live? No one man can stop me

Can I live? No frontline can block me

Can I live? It's 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 frontline can block me

Can I live? Or do I gotta bring it to these kids?

Can I live? If I don't live, nobody live

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 on so I can make this bed

Got two mattresses now, all I need is the spread

With like four pillows so my seeds can rest their head

You think Platinum is enough? Nah, Sheek want more

Tryna sell more than Tickle me Elmo in the store

Italian cuisine, linguine while my diamonds like, "shing"

So when I move at nighttime you might think it's lightning

Just throw me the ball once and I'll tell you no lie

Sheek gon' show you money like Jerry McGuire

It's a thug thing, LOX 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 a hundred's like a quarter

Can I live? No one man can stop me

Can I live? No frontline can block me

Can I live? It's 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 frontline can block me

Can I live? Or do I gotta bring it to these kids?

Can I live? If I don't live, nobody live

This is to my **** toters, money bill folders

Bad Benz holders, whips with 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 grimy after hours

Karl Kani, Maur' Malone wearin', Eddie Bauers

Flipping cake **** who strip and take ****

Upstate ****, my Crystal Lake ****

We gon' hold it down if we gotta shake ****

And make **** do what we say or break ****

Survival of the fittest, blame me, 'cause I did it

Now you see me shinin', two mill' worth of diamonds

And I owe it all to hard grindin', don't mean that I'ma stop climbin'

Nine-nine, it's good timin', I salute my thugs who rock

**** (C'mon) Pay 30 thou' ****

Make it happen, I swear to God if I don't make it rapping

I'm clapping, extorting, and robbing **** cribs and contracting

Can I live?

Can I live? No one man can stop me

Can I live? No frontline can block me

Can I live? Or do I gotta bring it to these kids?

Can I live? If I don't live, nobody live

Can I live? No one man can stop me

Can I live? No frontline can block me

Can I live?
