Can’t Live Without Your Love

Lyrics

[Intro] I love this shit man Love this shit Check it out, check it out (Family Biz) [Verse 1] Through the lights, cameras, and action, glamor, y'all know the rest In my era being a fan was the best (Haha) I must confess a lot of this newer music is tough for me to digest But some folks like it, so cool, I digress (Cool) I just remember how it felt backstage when I kicked it with KRS And he told me "Young man, you got next" (Man) "You're exactly what we hoped the game would turn into" I felt blessed Left that show poking out my chest (What's up?) I guess them cypher verses (Yaowa) had a higher purpose all along From watching my step-daddy do 'caine to having Big Daddy Kane on a song (Wow) From g-packs to G-Raps' feedback on my first album Can't believe he listened to me rap (Whoo) With the legend, cold signatures I perfected cold literature Embedded this whole image of me Setting the temperature on hip-hop's thermostat Murder tracks from then on (Then on) And since that day it's been on, word [Chorus] The love you took from me hurts, can't you see? Remember that what you do comes back to you What do you want from love that I can't give? Baby, without your love I can't live [Verse 2] Uh, it was all a dream, I used to read Word Up! magazine (Oh, shit) Salt-N-Pepa and Heavy D going in waxine bags On the kitchen table in my mama crib (Damn) I turned my back on music shit for a while Decided I'ma live the street life Heat right by my side, so breathe light 'Cause he might be tight and decide that he wanna squeeze right wrong (Man) I knew this music was my purpose all along I make some sales, run upstairs and be working on a song (Whoo) It's in my genes to make these beats lean with a mean sixteenth What he say? I don't play or shy away like Cabrini-Green Defend my honor, pilot pin my armor Why beef when all you niggas is cake? I'm Brutus the barber (Um) She a talent Honestly, who can fuck with me? Near silence You can drop a pin in the room If my pen in the room, you'll hear violence (Huh) You're top five, know I'm top gun Check my air mileage, yaowa [Chorus] The love you took from me hurts, can't you see? Remember that what you do comes back to you What do you want from love that I can't give? Baby, without your love I can't live I love this shit, man [Outro] Yeah, we good
