Black Rob - Can I Live lyrics

rate me

Intro: Jadakiss

Uh yeah, yeah, what what, yeah yeah, yeah, what, yeah, what

yo, yo, yo, yo, yo

Verse One: Jadakiss

Yo this is a monopoly, niggaz ain't stoppin' 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 niggaz under pressure

You shoulda knew that, it's always them new cats that'll get ya

Better start lookin 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 gettin 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 'til your days is up

You blazin' what, playboy you frail and butt

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

Chorus: Black Rob

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

Verse Two: Styles

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

22 feelin 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 had a dream of fly shit

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 nigga live and help him make a decimal

Truth will set you free what will a lie do

Niggaz say I'm God but I be gettin' high too

Can't love the money like the niggaz beside you

Cuz when the paper gone...you gon' slide too

Niggaz 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

Niggaz will never tell

Their man that I was pussy

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

Chorus

Verse Three: Shiek

I pray to God to promise me, before I see the pearly gates

To let my whole team be straight, mansion no Section 8

Puttin' 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

Tryin' 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

Shiek 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 bustin' at the eclipse

While im pissy, spittin' up Crissy in the water

But you can do that for money, when 100's like a quarter...

Chorus

Verse Four: Black Rob

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 niggaz

Upstate niggaz, my Crystal Lake niggaz

We gonna hold it down if we gotta shake niggaz

And make niggaz do what we say, or break niggaz

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

With the drugz and switch gunz, and 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 niggz 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

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
