Chaundon - Can I Live lyrics

[Intro] Well alright. It's like a celebration of life. Can I live? [Verse One] I'm bout to hit the scene I'm bout to make a scream I'm bout to see my face in every single magazine I'm kickin' in the do' And smashin' all these hoes I got my eyes set on cribs, whips and flashy clothes I've been here too long It's bout time I bounce I'm tryin' to lay up in a city that I can't pronounce Black a** hell, lyin' in the sun gettin' darker The juice is sweeter over here, I match a Magic Marker I made a little change Bust listen here mommy I'm still ghetto, I ain't chasin' mixer with Bacardi No one here's beefin' My whole team is eatin' Yeah we beastin', got an album out for every season And now it's my turn And they don't like that kicko Cause I'ma Pain In Da Ass just like them Jigga intros Son, I'ma milk this game, until the well runs dry In record time and do it all in one try Ya know [Chorus] I'm bout to take it all, that's what I'm here for I got my eyes on the prize, I'ma make it y'all I've been patiently waitin', now it's mine for the takin' Now watch history in the makin' Whoa Can I live? You can't be serious Can I live? [Verse Two] Yeah, I know it hurts to see a new n***a cakin' Sweatin' in the kitchen for years and still bakin' I don't mean no harm Pardon my steps Am I confident?

Is the question I ask So what I borrowed from Jay He don't care, he's makin' money all day I'm just tryin' to make me a meal And besides, you ain't heard the old sayin', "All great artists steal"? Huh? So I'm ask y'all again Can I live? I ain't lookin' for permission, let a n***a do him So as long as I'm alive there's another rhyme to scribe Mic to grab, stage to rock and a crowd to wave 'em high ya know [Chorus] I'm bout to take it all, that's what I'm here for I got my eyes on the prize, I'ma make it y'all I've been patiently waitin', now it's mine for the takin' Now watch history in the makin' Whoa Can I live? You can't be serious Can I live? [Verse Three] Listen The game remains the same, only the players change Numbers get retired, few get to keep the fame Many lose the fortune, won't get another break So I play it smart then I learn from these n***as mistakes I want the lavish life And meet the baddest wife It's the American dream, yeah, sho' yo' right I want rappin' money I want actin' money p**no, casino and keep stackin' money Hand over fist Damn it I'm rich Indecent Proposal, hand over your b**h Check out my blueprint My foundation is strong, I'm bout to have a run 30 generations long Many will follow, I'll lead by example Takin' over New York, I see it as a sample So to my Source, XXL and Vibe readers My name is Chaundon And it's nice to meet ya [Chorus] I'm bout to take it all, that's what I'm here for I got my eyes on the prize, I'ma make it y'all I've been patiently waitin', now it's mine for the takin' Now watch history in the makin' Whoa Can I live? You can't be serious Can I live?
