Can I

[Intro]

Yeah

This my shit right here

This my kinda shit right here

Y'all know me, the son

[Chorus]

Can I ball? Can I chill?

Can I stunt?

Will I live long enough to raise my son?

Made something out of nothin'

Ain't nothin' where I'm from

Can your boy do something productive for once?

And once a nigga make it, they gon' wanna take it

Money don't change ya, but it do drive ya crazy

Lil' nigga out the projects, they rootin' for the baby

Even when you showin' love, they still gon' wanna hate ya

[Verse 1]

If I tell you how I feel, can I fuck?

I gotta see if the pussy good before I cuff

I'm really in the field so I need someone to hug

I'm out here like for real so I be needin' a little love

All you gotta do is grind

It's gon' take time

Ain't no time to chill

Ain't no time to vibe

All my people wanted me to sit my ass down

But I been on go since I got off my behind

Everybody wanna shine

Nobody wanna grind

See my nigga workin' hard, that shit paid him off fine

None of this shit just fall from the sky

I'm puttin' in work, I done forgot that I was tired

[Chorus]

Can I ball? Can I chill?

Can I stunt?

Will I live long enough to raise my son?

Made something out of nothin'

Ain't nothin' where I'm from

Can your boy do something productive for once?

And once a nigga make it, they gon' wanna take it

Money don't change ya, but it do drive ya crazy

Lil' nigga out the projects, they rootin' for the baby

Even when you showin' love, they still gon' wanna hate ya

[Verse 2]

Can a nigga eat in peace?

You leechin' for a crumb

Niggas ain't even showin' ya love where ya from

Them people took my 40, so I'm about to go buy a pump

What if the trolls roll up on me right? Should I run?

Can I take you out to lunch?

I just wanna get you full then get all in your stomach

I just made shawty tell a man that she done

Lately she been tellin' me she love me, should I run?

I'm gone, I'm done

I shook and went describin'

I'm not a bad kid, I just didn't have no guidance

Fuck a home run, you boys be runnin' in houses

Robbin', connivin', wylin' and burglarizin'

[Chorus]

Can I ball? Can I chill?

Can I stunt?

Will I live long enough to raise my son?

Made something out of nothin'

Ain't nothin' where I'm from

Can your boy do something productive for once?

And once a nigga make it, they gon' wanna take it

Money don't change ya, but it do drive ya crazy

Lil' nigga out the projects, they rootin' for the baby

Even when you showin' love, they still gon' wanna hate ya
