J Urban - Can I Live [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse One: J Urban]
When I was 13 I had a dream that I would live a better life
Skipping breakfast in the morning, dreams kept me up at night
Desire burned within my chest, I knew that I was dope yes
But the stronger my desire got, things got more merciless
I was a rebel, I couldn't even draw myself a treble
But I knew that my peers weren't on the same level
Of my knowledge, only if my mind wasn't bondage
If I could only be easier to get along with
I got along with bullies but them niggas let me have it
Quick run run quick don’t let em start it
One day I took a look into the mirror through the tears
Then I realized that you’re not living if you live in fear
Your life is like a circle and it only goes around once
Minutes, turn into days and all these days turn into months
And honestly I didn't choose this life this life chose me
And I’ma live it, I’ma hone it, till the day I stop breathin'

Chorus
Can I live, Can I live, Can I Live (x3)

[Verse 2: J Urban]
Snap back to reality, to the present day
My brother needs an education, momma got some bills to pay
And I wanna be so much in life I wanna have it all
But I won’t be where was today if it wasn't for y’all
So I got you, got you watch me
Watch me pile this money up
Help my bro through high school
Then that’s when I’ll live it up
Do what my pops never did, I’ma stand by you
Persevere Until Something Happens, see it right through
Strong voice of the weak, voice of the people
One minute we fragile then the next minute we eagles
You hatin' watch me, trust me I’ma make it
Work for all that I deserve and if not I’ma take it
True words coming from a true heart
Life is like a movie I’m just dying for the part
And honestly I didn't choose this life this life chose me
And I’ma live it, I’ma hone it, till the day I stop breathin'

[Chorus]
