[Chorus: Jadakiss, (Styles P)] Can I live? (Hell yeah, but you still gon' die) Cmon, nigga, you a thug (But I'm still gon' cry) And you done Learned Off eXperience (I'm still gon' ride) They kill me, you gon' kill them? (I still got pride) Can I live? (Hell yeah, but you still gon' die) Cmon, nigga, you a thug (But I'm still gon' cry) And you done Learned Off eXperience (I'm still gon' ride) They kill me, you gon' kill them? (I still got pride) [Verse 1: Jadakiss] Yo, now, I done said everything y'all possibly say Ask them niggas in your camp, is you hotter than J... A-D-A-K-I, two S's A true message: y'all better wear a few vests-es Live pussies, 'bout to be dead dicks I pack guns that shoot through schools, the red bricks And just because you might'a seen me on an award show I'm still in the hood, nigga, gettin' raw dough And later on tonight, I might be hittin' your ho And I got more money, so I'm coppin more dro Everything I said I meant, B – y'all gon tempt me To rob y'all, spend your whole stash on my empties *Mwah* yours truly; can't do nothing to me Think you Scarface, but you ain't see the end of the movie I'm the type of nigga that'll take 5 cakes Turn 'em into 5 acres, faster than 5 Lakers Lay back, get high, tote my gun around Throw a string on the pony, so I can tote my son around [Verse 2: Sheek Louch, (Styles P)] Aiyyo – the path I walk is steel, who the fuck won't I kill? Thin as that line down the hundreds that you can tell if it's real Smooth as Sinatra, you can tell by my posture I'm street Fuck the forecast, I'll let you know what day'll be heat See, I recruit smart niggas with heart, no dumb niggas Who will kill over money, not bitches, like some niggas I think marketable – fuck y'all niggas who stay bummin' I'm that nigga sellin' pills at all the Howard homecomings If you get high? I got weed, and if you get drunk? I got vodka And if you want base I got popcorn like Orville Redenbacher See, I'm Bullseye, I empty my banana in ya bandana – first try Never will my bullets miss a vic' (What?) I use one to do a hit, on some Professional shit – bitch! (Hah, that's crazy...) [Chorus: Jadakiss, (Styles P)] Can I live? (Hell yeah, but you still gon' die) Cmon, nigga, you a thug (But I'm still gon' cry) And you done Learned Off eXperience (I'm still gon' ride) They kill me, you gon' kill them? (I still got pride) Can I live? (Hell yeah, but you still gon' die) Cmon, nigga, you a thug (But I'm still gon' cry) And you done Learned Off eXperience (I'm still gon' ride) They kill me, you gon' kill them? (I still got pride) [Verse 3: Kasino] Outta three-fourths of them niggas who cross your path Minus them half-ass who talk fast and finish last Who gon' get his cash, turn to his man, and give him half? Cock the hammer back, stood by his side, and didn't dash? When the charge is federal, and they fingerprint his ass: Who can he trust to be, in front of the judge, screamin' "it's just me"? It must be, more than just a nigga's love Make him do 5 joints, no contact, without givin' his niggas up Give his keys to his truck, wish his niggas luck Call his best fit, suggested that she let his niggas fuck Finger-fuck them figures up, no parole, bigger truck Kasino is that name big enough – nigga, what?! [Verse 4: Styles P] You wouldn't bust your gat wit' me if you never sat wit' me Lit up a sack wit me, or hustle some cracks wit' me Came through the cipher, bowed down, and spat wit me Hopped out the truck and gave niggas daps wit me You never laughed wit' me, never went half wit' me Never been through the struggle, never felt the wrath wit' me Never slept on the same floor, or hit the same whore Ran up in the same store, or with the same 4 Blood thicker than water? Only in certain cases You need water to live, you learn that in the basicscs Better cherish your aces Bullets in the faces of the jokers We laugh at fire, nigga – we smokers Sittin' on the sofa, puffin' the hash, nigga, we focused Why lie? I'll die where the coke is [Chorus: Jadakiss, (Styles P)] Can I live? (Hell yeah, but you still gon' die) Cmon, nigga, you a thug (But I'm still gon' cry) And you done Learned Off eXperience (I'm still gon' ride) They kill me, you gon' kill them? (I still got pride) Can I live? (Hell yeah, but you still gon' die) Cmon, nigga, you a thug (But I'm still gon' cry) And you done Learned Off eXperience (I'm still gon' ride) They kill me, you gon' kill them? (I still got pride) Can I live? (Hell yeah...) (What?) Ruff Ryders!
