Can I Live Lyrics by Nate Joël

As I Live

2019

[Intro]
Can I live
Yeah  yeah
Can  I
(Repeat 2x)
[Verse 1]
Yeah yeah
How  I rap like 3 Stacks without a stack to my name
Make  the music for the people who feel equal the pain
Rock the cross all across for those waiting to cross
Chris  blessing the ice
Gold is my only vice
Midas still in my mind
Let’s take it back to my roots when we all banded together and did it all as a group
Wasn’t  on a quest for love but found it anyways
They white washing black thoughts to get a penny made
[Chorus]
I’m coming from the rack with the heat
They wanna be cool cause they know where imma be
Yeah I
I don’t take my foot up off the gas
I just keep snapping and these rappers getting passed
Yeah I
I been that boy, I’m a star
Sip a couple drinks while we going bar for bar
Yeah I
Once I get started I don’t stop
Shaking things up till we know it’s gon pop
Can I
Can I live
Yeah yeah
Can I
(Repeat 4x)
[Verse 2]
TMZ causing mass hysteria
Imagine what would happen if they covered out in Syria
Children being murdered by missiles and different air strikes
Pray for 911 but not what happens in their life
Hate if you don’t vote
I be hating who I’m voting for
Rap gave me a voice
White rappers tend to have the floor
Slavery exists I’d be remiss not to mention that
Clinton’s war on drugs
The guide they follow now to get us back
Labels want the masters and the catalogs
You don’t pay attention to the world if you ain’t mad at all
You don’t pay attention if you only watch the news
Money buying those views
They ain’t showing you the truth
My god
Got a Bible to the left and the right to have a rifle ‘round
Rap the revolution but the dollars tend to bring it down
Lover and a fighter and a poet bring out poetry
Gotta press go even if nobody go with me
[Chorus]
I’m coming from the rack with the heat
They want to be cool cause they know where imma be
Yeah I
I don’t take my foot up off the gas
I just keep snapping and these rappers getting passed
Yeah I
I been that boy, I’m a star
Sip a couple drinks while we going bar for bar
Yeah I
Once I get started I don’t stop
Shaking things up till we know it’s going pop
Can I
Can I live
Yeah yeah
Can I
(Repeat 3x)
