Can I live

(feat. anthony hamilton)

[talking]

Talking ma

I know the situation is personal

But it something that has to be told

As i was making this beat

You was all i could think about you heard my voice

[verse 1]

Yeah just think just think

What if you could just

Just blink your self away..

Just just wait just pause for a second

Let me plead my case

It's the late 70's huh

You seventeen huh

And having me that will ruin everything huh

It's alot of angels waiting on their wings

You see me in your sleep so you cant kill your dreams

300 dollars thats the price of living what?

Mommy i dont like this clinic

Hopefully you'll make the right decision

And dont go through with the knife incision

But it's hard to make the right move

When you in high school

How you have to work all day and take night school

Hopping off da bus when the rain is pouring

What you want morning sickness or the sickness of mourning

[chorus]

I'll always be a part of you

Trust your soul know it's always true

If i could talk i'd say to you

Can i live

Can i live

I'll always be a part of you

Trust your soul know it's always true

If i could talk i'd say to you

Can i live

Can i live

[verse 2]

I am a child of the king

Ain't no need to go fear me

And i see the flowing tears so know that you hear me

When i move in your womb that's me being scary

Cause who knows what my future holds

Yo the truth be told you ain't told a soul

Yo you ain't even showing i'm just 2 months old

Through your clothes try to hide me deny me

Went up 3 sizes

Your pride got you lying saying ain't nothing but a migraine

It ain't surprising you not trying to be in wic food lines

Your friends will look at you funny but look at you mommy

That's a life inside you look at your tummy

What is becoming ma i am oprah bound

You can tell he's a star from the ultrasound

Our sprits connected doors open now

Nothing but love and respect thanks for holding me down she let me live...

[chorus]

I'll always be a part of you

Trust your soul know it's always true

If i could talk i'd say to you

Can i live

Can i live

I'll always be apart of you

Trust your soul know it's always true

If i could talk i'd say to you

Can i live

Can i live

[repeat 2]

[nick talking]

It's uplifting foreal yall

I ain't passing no judgement

Ain't making no decisions

I am just telling ya'll my story

I love life

I love my mother for giving me life

We all need to appreciate life

A strong woman that had to make a sacrifice

Thanks for listening

Mama thanks for listening
