Can I live?
Nappy curls on my head make me a prisoner-elect
No liberty just death
Can I live?
I mean damn, I just went to the store
Security hounding me like a bitch
It's time to go
Can I live?
Can't even walk out the crib without a old white bitch
Staring at everything I did
Can I live?
She steady switchin' them streets
might call the police
get me killed up in the street!
Can I live?
hell yeah we smokin' on some swishas
rollin' deep as a militias
got America shaking like where's the richter
got a perfect lil picture of the black man
shaking and lackin', 2/5's away from a mister
lil bitch, we exposed it-- scars on our back still fresh
so we owned it
influenced everything in and out of rap
they used to hang us by our necks
now what we hanging by our necks you couldn't afford it
[chorus]
Started out with nothing
boy I popped up with something
now im lookin' like a motherfucking scarab, nigga
Wait till i'm stunting,
Got the whole crew juggin'
Coup same colors as a fucking scarab, nigga
Took a sip now im feelin' fly as a scarab, nigga
feeling fly as a scarab
Took a hit now im feelin' fly as a scarab, nigga
feeling fly as a scarab
