As a big fan of Hip Hop and vocal opponent to the negative messages that the rap industry has sought to perpetuate, I am glad to see such a socially relevant issue being addressed by such a well know R&B artist.
Even if you don't like Rap you should check it out!
Below are the Lyrics to "Can I live? " by Nick Cannon.
Talking Ma
I know the situation is personal, but it something that has to be told
as I was making this beat you was all I could think about; you heard my voice
Yeah 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. Its the late 70's Huh
You seventeen huh. And having me that will ruin everything huh it’s a lot of angels waiting for their wings you see me in your sleep, so you can't kill your dreams 300 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 hard to make the right move when you in high school
how you have to work all day and take night school
hopping off da bus when the rain is pouring
What you want morning sickness or the sickness of mourning?
[Chorus]
I Will Always Be a part of you
Trust Your Soul Know His Heart Is True
If I Could Talk I Would Say To You
CAN I LIVE …. CAN I LIVE? (Repeat)
I am a child of the King ain't no need to go fear me and I see the flowing tears so know that you hear me when I move in your womb that's me being scaring cause who knows where my future holds
yo the truth be told you ain't told a soul yo you ain't even showing I just 2 moths old
through your clothes try to hide me, deny me went up 3 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 you, look at your tummy what is becoming ma I am Oprah bound you can tell he's a star from the Ultrasound
Our Spirits Connected Doors Open Now Nothing But Love And Respect Thanks For Holding Me Down She Let Me Live...[Chorus] I Will Always Be a part of you Trust Your Soul Know His Heart Is True
If I Could Talk I Would Say To You
CAN I LIVE
CAN I LIVE
I Will Always Be a part of you
Trust Your Soul Know His Heart Is True
Its uplifting for real y'all I ain't passing no judgment; ain't making no decisions; I am just telling y'all my story my love life. I love my mother for giving me life. We all need to appreciate life
a strong women that had to make a sacrifice. Thanks for listening. Mama thanks for listening
