[ Featuring B.O.A Mook ]
Can we live?
I know some kids totin' guns before they learn how to tie they shoe
No more bedtime stories, they puttin' shit to sleep too
Losin' hope in the future, they killing off the whole youth
I'm tryna live my dream like Martin Lu'
Can we live? (People dyin' every day)
We wanna live (tryin' my best to stay out the way)
Can we live? (People dyin' every day)
We wanna live (I'm tryin' my best to stay out the way)
Can we live? (Can we live? Can we live?)
Oh, I wanna live (can we live? Can we live?)
Can we live? (My people dyin' every day)
We wanna live
Have you ever lost a brother to this life of crime?
Everybody dyin' and everybody totin' iron
Mothers shouldn't be forced to cry 'cause they kids had to die
Why they have to say goodbye?
We speak on police brutality, we don't speak on Black-on-Black crimes
How Black lives matter when we kill each other?
The world can be so better if we all come together
Is everyone distracted?
Is the news for information or is a distraction?
Oh, oh, can we live? I wanna live, oh
Can we live? (People dyin' every day)
We wanna live (tryin' my best to stay out the way)
Can we live? (People dyin' every day)
We wanna live (I'm tryin' my best to stay out the way)
Can we live? (Can we live? Can we live?)
Oh, I wanna live (can we live? Can we live?)
Can we live? (My people dyin' every day)
We wanna live (ayy)
I say "long live" and "rest in peace"
More than "I love you" and "We made it up out the streets"
Need an 808 that can recreate them a heartbeat
Every week, I'm gettin' weak, I lost my dog to petty beef
Twenty-one questions for God
Will I live to twenty-one? Because that's beatin' the odds
I got some peas in a pod that won't see a brighter day
GTL call, I play Tevo my music and it hurt me that way
'Cause I'm dyin' on the inside
He only ten years old with a Glock 9 (Glock 9)
Mama on drugs, daddy gone, so he outside (So he outside)
Incarcerated or a grave where he may reside (Where he may reside at)
Can we live? (People dyin' every day)
We wanna live (tryin' my best to stay out the way)
Can we live? (People dyin' every day)
We wanna live (I'm tryin' my best to stay out the way)
Can we live? (Can we live? Can we live?)
Oh, I wanna live (can we live? Can we live?)
Can we live? (My people dyin' every day)
We wanna live
To die young means incompletion
To live old is something that I'm seekin'
Be the change that you wanna see
Heavenly Father, wake me when I'm free
Dangerous in these streets
Angels watchin' over me, I pray when karma creep
It's the good that I reap, I'm tired of rest in peace
My heart been yearning for some peace
Can we live? I don't wanna D-I-E
