These 2 verses say it all.
“Never been a fan of flashing, probably kuz i never could. Said if i had it never would. Then i got my first lil taste of paper and i splurged, I guess it’s just the n***a urge. This is the boondocks. I swear im like Huey mixed with Riley. Thursday i be trying to save the world, then Friday i hit the club. Hoping my d**k get rubbed by some fat asses. N***s get da scrappin then you hear them gats blasting. Damn, oh them n***s aint got no problem with me? My momma told me to speak like you got a college degree. You see i can, but i won’t. Because i’m saying what i want. Plus this slang that i speak don’t change that i’m deep,as the throat on this certified freak when she choke, as we head to the crib.Yes I let her give me head so she don’t remember where i live. My game is tight. Baby no need to bring pajama’s you ain’t spending the night. No disrespect, i just say it polite. I drop her off, before i sleep, i be praying for life. Like Hov said it, CAN I LIVE?? Dear Lord CAN I LIVE??”
“Now am i living to get paid? Just slave for a wage all week, I can’t do no 9-5 tell my momma sorry. I can’t do no suit and tie, no, i want the glory. If you knew me, you know my life is like a movie starring me. Pardon me if it seems that i’m following my dreams, i’m not reading off the script that they picked for me. I ain’t pissed naw, couldn’t give a s**t hardly. I be s***ting on them n***as that was s***tting on me. Will i live or will i die before they get to know me? If i go, i know the ones that’s pouring liqour for me. And i know the fake n****s really hating on me. Knew that i was about to blow so they were waiting on me. But oh no! see i’m smarter than they know oh oh. But hold on, because i’m not quite ready to go oh oh. CAN I LIVE? Somebody told me there is only one shot. So i will be got damned if i’m ever gonna stop. Promised to my momma imma make it to the top, so im gonna keep climbing till my heartbeat stops…..”
J. Cole – Can I Live
There is all kinds of underlying messages in it. But it says it all. It’s one of those verses you think was wrote for yourself, pretty much word for word relate to me. But it was expressed by somebody else. Very few songs i feel that way about. Reason i didn’t take out any words of the verse no matter how dirty or vulgar it was. It is all truth, and honesty of my mindset.
Oh yea and J. Cole is my favorite new artist coming out. Dude spits, and is talking bout some real stuff unlike Drake. First dude signed to Roc Nation, and on Jay-Z’s “A star is born” on blueprint 3. which he killed Jay-Z on. Probably had the best verse on the album outside of the song “Thank You”
