[Intro: Jadakiss]
Uh, yeah, yeah, what?
Yeah, what-what? Yeah-yeah, uh-huh, what? Yeah
What? What?
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo

[Verse 1: Jadakiss]
This is a monopoly, n***as ain't stoppin' me
And we can't lose 'cause Puff set us up properly
Just won't settle for lesser, who wan' test us?
We be in the 5 with the goose headrests
LOX put n***as under pressure
You shoulda knew that, it's always them new cats that'll get ya
Better start lookin' at things from my angle
I'm tryin' to be up on the board with a triangle
Next to my name with a ten or a twenty
Now that's when you really can say you gettin' money
But right now, all I do is sit back and listen
To a wise young man that quickly became a rich one
Put me up on the fact it ain't hard to get some
Chips, if I just keep writin' with ambition
Then I get an advance from the five to the six and
House with two kitchens, diamonds, plenty women
Built-in pool to swim in
But the plan is to start from the floor and raise it up
Then you hit 'em in the head 'til your days is up
You blazin', what? Playboy, you frail and butt
You know when Bad Boy drops, all your sales is cut
[Chorus: Black Rob]
Can I live? No one man can stop me
Can I live? No frontline can block me
Can I live? It's enough base for all of us
Can I live? Without the names they calling us
Can I live? No one man can stop me
Can I live? No frontline can block me
Can I live? Or do I gotta bring it to these kids?
Can I live? If I don't live, nobody live

[Verse 2: Styles P]
Time is money, money is power so I'm sour
22 feelin' like I've wasted every hour
Of my life, shoulda been had a million in ice
High as a kite, feelin' the flight, turbulence
Once in a blue moon I have a dream of fly shit
Hang-glide to the Alps with a fly chick
Condo in Fresno with the lesbo
And the honey that she hit know how to stretch blow
They know that I'm Styles, they respect the flow
Why don't y'all let a n***a live and help him make a decimal?
Truth will set you free, what will a lie do?
N***as said I'm God, but I be gettin' high too
Can't love the money like the n***as beside you
'Cause when the paper gone, you gon' slide too
N***as wanna ball, but got to fall to rise
While the world spin around they wanna stall they eyes
Close they ears, my nose makes me oppose my fear
'Cause I can smell hell
Before I sell out, rather catch a shell, farewell
N***as'll never tell their man that I was pussy
Unless they got a gun and I ain't got one, I might let you push me
[Chorus: Black Rob]
Can I live? No one man can stop me
Can I live? No frontline can block me
Can I live? It's enough base for all of us
Can I live? Without the names they calling us
Can I live? No one man can stop me
Can I live? No frontline can block me
Can I live? Or do I gotta bring it to these kids?
Can I live? If I don't live, nobody live

[Verse 3: Sheek Louch]
I pray to God to promise me, before I see the pearly gates
To let my whole team be straight, mansion, no Section 8
Puttin' pressure on so I can make this bed
Got two mattresses now, all I need is the spread
With like four pillows so my seeds can rest their head
You think Platinum is enough? Nah, Sheek want more
Tryna sell more than Tickle me Elmo in the store
Italian cuisine, linguine while my diamonds like, "shing"
So when I move at night time you might think it's lightnin'
Just throw me the ball once and I'll tell you no lie
Sheek gonna show you money like Jerry McGuire
It's a thug thing, LOX product thing, conductin'
Anything for chips while you sit and blab your lips
In the restaurant takin' tips while Sheek on trips
Logos on our ships bustin' at the eclipse
While I'm pissy, spittin' up Crissy in the water
But you can do that for money, when a hundred's like a quarter
[Chorus: Black Rob]
Can I live? No one man can stop me
Can I live? No frontline can block me
Can I live? It's enough base for all of us
Can I live? Without the names they calling us
Can I live? No one man can stop me
Can I live? No frontline can block me
Can I live? Or do I gotta bring it to these kids?
Can I live? If I don't live, nobody live

[Verse 4: Black Rob]
This is to my AK toters, money bill folders
Bad bitch holders, whips with big motors
On the low for years, the Feds can't decode us
We bust rounds, all you gotta do is load us
My night time prowlers and grimy after hours
Karl Kani, Maur' Malone wearin', Eddie Bauers
Flippin' cake n***as who strip and take n***as
Upstate n***as, my Crystal Lake n***as
We gon' hold it down if we gotta shake n***as
And make n***as do what we say or break n***as
Survival of the fittest, blame me, 'cause I did it
Now you see me shinin', two mill' worth of diamonds
And I owe it all to hard grindin', don't mean that I'ma stop climbin'
Nine-nine, it's good timin', I salute my thugs who rock
With the drugs and switch guns and pay 30 thou' for the slug
Make it happen, I swear to God if I don't make it rappin'
I'm clappin', extortin', and robbin' n***as cribs and contractin'
Can I live?

[Outro: Black Rob]
Can I live? No one man can stop me
Can I live? No frontline can block me
Can I live? Or do I gotta bring it to these kids?
Can I live? If I don't live, nobody live
Can I live? No one man can stop me
Can I live? No frontline can block me
Can I live?
