Anthony Hamilton - Can I Live lyrics

[Nick Cannon] Can I live? I'm talking, ma I know this situation is personal But it's something that has to be told As I was making this beat You was all I could think about You heard my voice Yeah, uh huh 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 a lot of angels waiting on their wings You see me in your sleep so you can't k** your dreams Three hundred dollars, that's the price of living? What? Mommy, I don't like this clinic Hopefully you'll make the right decision And don't go though with the knife decision But it's hard to make the right move when you in high school Now you gotta work all day and take night school Hopping on the bus and the rain is pouring What you want morning sickness or the sickness of mourning? Can I live? [Hook - Anthony Hamilton] 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? [Nick Cannon] I'm a child of the king, ain't no need to go fear me And I see the flowing tears so I know that you hear me When I move in your womb that's me being scared Cuz who knows where my future holds Yo, the truth be told you ain't told a soul Yo, you ain't even showing, I'm just two months old Through your clothes try to hide me, deny me Went up three 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 look at you funny but look at you mommy That's a life inside, take a look at your tummy What is becoming, ma? I'm Oprah bound You can tell he a star from the Ultrasound Our spirits connected, doors open now Nothing but love and respect Thanks for holding it down, she let me live [Hook] [Hook] [Nick Cannon] It's uplifing for real, y'all I ain't pa**ing no judgement, ain't making no decisions I'm just telling y'all my story I love life And I love my mother for giving me life We all need to appreciate life And a strong woman who had to make a sacrifice Thanks for listening Thanks for listening! Momma, thanks for listening
