Taylor Keyz - Can I Live lyrics

When I was 13 I had a dream that I would live a better life Skipping breakfast in the morning, dreams kept me up at night Desire burned within my chest, I knew that I was dope yes But the stronger my desire got, things got more merciless I was a rebel, I couldn't even draw myself a treble But I knew that my peers weren't on the same level Of my knowledge, only if my mind wasn't bondage If I could only be easier to get along with I got along with bullies but them n***as let me have it Quick run run quick don't let em start it One day I took a look into the mirror through the tears Then I realized that you're not living if you live in fear Your life is like a circle and it only goes around once Minutes, turn into days and all these days turn into months And honestly I didn't choose this life this life chose me And I'ma live it, I'ma hone it, till the day I stop breathin' Chorus Can I live, Can I live, Can I Live (x3) Snap back to reality, to the present day My brother needs an education, momma got some bills to pay And I wanna be so much in life I wanna have it all But I won't be where was today if it wasn't for y'all So I got you, got you watch me Watch me pile this money up Help my bro through high school Then that's when I'll live it up Do what my pops never did, I'ma stand by you Persevere Until Something Happens, see it right through Strong voice of the weak, voice of the people One minute we fragile then the next minute we eagles You hatin' watch me, trust me I'ma make it Work for all that I deserve and if not I'ma take it True words coming from a true heart Life is like a movie I'm just dying for the part And honestly I didn't choose this life this life chose me And I'ma live it, I'ma hone it, till the day I stop breathin' [Chorus]
