Can I Live Lyrics


Can I live? Hell, yeah but you still gon' die
C'mon, nigga, you a thug but I'm still gon' cry
An' you done learned off experience, I'm still gon' ride
They kill me, you gon' kill them? I still got prideCan I live? Hell, yeah but you still gon' die
C'mon, nigga, you a thug but I'm still gon' cry
An' you done learned off experience, I'm still gon' ride
They kill me, you gon' kill them? I still got prideYo, now I done said everythin' I could possibly say
Ask them niggas in your camp is you hotter than
J A D A K I two Ss?
A true message, y'all better wear a few vestsLive pussies 'bout to be dead dicks
I pack guns that shoot through schools, the red bricks
An' just because you mighta seen me on the award show
I'm still in the hood, nigga, gettin' raw doughAn' later on, tonight, I might be hittin' your hoe
An' I got more money, so I'm coppin' more 'dro
Everythin' I said, I meant, B, y'all gon' tempt me
To rob y'all, spend your whole stash on my emptiesYours truly, can't do nothin' to me
Think you Scarface? But you ain't see the end of the movie
I'm the type of nigga that'll take 5 cakes

Turn 'em into 5 acres, faster than 5 LakersLay back, get high, tote my gun around
Throw a string on the pony so I can tote my son around
The path I walk is filled who the fuck won't I kill
Thin as that line down the hundred that you can tell if it's realSmooth as Sinatra, you can tell by my pops that I'm street
Fuck the forecast, I'll let you know what day'll be heat
See, I recruit smart niggas with heart, no dumb niggas
Who will kill over money, not bitches like some niggasI think marketable, fuck y'all niggas who stay bummin'
I'm that nigga sellin' pills at all of Howard homecomings
If you get high, I got weed an' if you get drunk, I got vodka
An' if you want base, I got popcorn like Orville RedenbockerSee, I'm bullseye, I empty my banana in your bandanna
First try, never will my bullets miss a vick
I use one to do a hit on some professional shit
Bitch, that's crazyCan I live? Hell, yeah but you still gon' die
C'mon, nigga, you a thug but I'm still gon' cry
An' you done learned off experience, I'm still gon' ride
They kill me, you gon' kill them? I still got prideCan I live? Hell, yeah but you still gon' die
C'mon, nigga, you a thug but I'm still gon' cry
An' you done learned off experience, I'm still gon' ride
They kill me, you gon' kill them? I still got prideOutta three-fourths of them niggas who cross your path
Minus them half ass who talk fast an' finish last
Who gon' get his cash, turn to his man an' give him half
Cock the hammer back, stood by his side an' didn't dash
When the charge is federal an' they fingerprint his assWho can he trust to be in front of the judge screamin'
It's just me, it must be more than just a nigga love
Make 'em do five joints, no contact without givin' his niggas up
Give his keys to his truck, wish his niggas luckCall it's best fit, suggested that she let his niggas fuck
Finger fuck them figures up, no parole, bigger truck
Kasino is that name big enough, nigga, what?You wouldn't bust your gat wit me if you never sat wit me
Lit up a sack wit me or hustle some crack wit me
Came through the cipher, bow down an' spat wit me
Hopped up the truck an' gave niggas daps wit meYou never laugh wit me, never went half wit me
Never been through the struggle, never felt the wrath wit me
Never slept on the same floor or hit the same whore
Ran up in the same store or with the same fourBlood thicker than water only in certain cases
You need water to live, you learn that in the basics
Better cherish your aces, bullets in the faces of the jokers
We laugh at fire, nigga, we smokers
Sittin' on the sofa, puffin' the hash, nigga, we focused
Why lie? I die where the coke isCan I live? Hell, yeah but you still gon' die
C'mon, nigga, you a thug but I'm still gon' cry
An' you done learned off experience, I'm still gon' ride
They kill me, you gon' kill them? I still got prideCan I live? Hell, yeah but you still gon' die
C'mon, nigga, you a thug but I'm still gon' cry
An' you done learned off experience, I'm still gon' ride
They kill me, you gon' kill them? I still got prideCan I live? Hell, yeah, what? Ruff Ryders

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
The LOX is a rap group from Yonkers, NY, founded in 1994 by Jadakiss, Styles P and Sheek Louch. Discovered by Mary J. Blige, they are signed to Diddy's record label Bad Boy Records and have released two albums on the label, 1998's Money, Power & Respect and 2000's We Are The Streets. In 2001 they changed their name to D-Block and Team Arliss, T. Waters and J-Hood joined the group, but J has since left. They have plans to release their third studio album, New L.O.X. Order sometime in 2009 or 2010.

They ended up leaving Bad Boy over financial disputes with record boss P. Diddy and were snapped up by the DMX-led Ruff Ryders. At that time they released We Are The Streets with the stand-out singles "Wild Out" and "Ryde or Die, Bitch". They expanded their group with the inclusion of new member, Jae Hood, and are now known as D-Block.

For a time, Diddy owned their publishing. They reinstated their beef with him even after performing together at Jay-Z's I Declare War concert; recently, however, Jadakiss and Styles P. appeared on popular NY radio station Hot 97.1 to plead for their publishing rights, a request which was granted.

As individual artists, each member of D-Block has released at least one album. Jadakiss released Kiss The Game Goodbye and Kiss of Death, Sheek Louch, Walk Witt Me and After Taxes, and Styles P., A Gangster and a Gentleman and Time Is Money. Jadakiss, one of the self proclaimed "top five dead or alive", has been the most commercially successful with singles "Knock Yourself Out", "We Gonna Make It", "Put Ya Hands Up", and "Why?"; Styles P. has released "Good Times (I Get High)", "Can you Believe It" featuring Akon, and "My Life" and Sheek Louch "Mighty D-Block (2 Guns Up)" and "Kiss Your Ass Goodbye".

In 2002-2003, Jadakiss and later the rest of The Lox were embroiled in a beef with Roc-a-Fella Records artist Beanie Sigel and the label head, Jay-Z. Today all parties have made peace.

Currently, they have dramatically increased their exposure and popularity and are frequently featured on mixtapes. They are now beefing with G-Unit after 50 Cent dissed Jadakiss for appearing on 50's nemesis, Ja Rule, single, "New York". The feud has grown to encompass both groups. Jadakiss responded to 50's "Piggy Bank" with "Checkmate". 50 came back with "I Run New York" and a video for "Piggybank", which dissed Jadakiss, Nas, Kelis, Fat Joe, *The Game (rapper). Styles and Jada released "Problem Child" directly aimed at 50 Cent. "Kiss Your Ass Goodbye" was released by Sheek Louch and featured Fabolous, Beanie Sigel, The Game and Jadakiss. Lloyd Banks has announced on his upcoming album "Rotton Apple" there will be a diss track aimed at Fat Joe and D-Block named "Death Wish". More recently, D Block went all out on G Unit with the song "Shots Fired," a song whose chorus recommends murdering 50 Cent and G Unit.
