Why can't yall leave me alone

Man seem like everybody be judging me

Talking behind my back, faking the smiles then hugging me

Pointing fingers hating jealous of my success praying for my downfall

Can't handle me being blessed, naw

You'd rather see me at the bottom of the totem poll

Scraping for dollars, on the edge bout to lose control

Back on the corner still living in tha projects

Still struggling down and out wit no prophets

Still driving through the hood in a bucket

I'm bout bringing my people over like I'm Harriet Tubman

Been through the fire like Kanye West

Beat the odds now I'm on shuffles and ipods

See most of yall could never reach stature

Cuz half of you gangsta rappers is gangsta actors

And backstabbers yall got the game backwards

But Bone and Darkchild make hits like linebackers


Chorus

Can I live

If you wanna be in my shoes then get in

You can talk the talk

But ain't lived the life I live

So can I live, that's the question, can I…(2x)


I shed blood sweat and tears

Been on this grind for years

I'm at the top of the charts, no respect from peers

I could be the franchise still I'm chastised, spreading ya lies

Need to recognize there's two sides, my whole life been the underdog

Against the odds back still against the wall

Fighting to represent in the ring for God

Consciously making records for a different cause

This crab game keep pulling me down, but like Ron Artest been known to rebound

And like Roy Jones I'm pound for pound spitting a different kind of message over platinum sounds

Can I, get some love and a little respect

Can I, rock ya world without giving ya sex

Can I, live in peace man I paid my dues

You'll never know where I been until ya walked in my shoes


I'm in it for the long hall

Committed to the end like John Paul

I'm trying to make a change, throw stones if I'm wrong

If you can do it better, then by all means, shoot for the stars

But stop crushing all of my life's dreams, and let me fulfill my destiny and purpose

Quit trying to make me feel no good and worthless

This life is all a playa got to give, so back up and give me room to breath can I live
