Can I Live Video

I came across this awesome video by Nick Cannon. "Can I live?" It's his story, about his mom, and the choice she made. It's a powerful testimony to the Pro-Life camp, about the choices we make, about how beautiful life is and the price that would have been paid had the abortion taken place for Nick himself and millions more like him. His main line is, "If I could talk I would say to you, CAN I LIVE? CAN I LIVE?"

Tatyana Ali ("The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air") plays an 18-year-old pregnant mother, who's deciding what to do outside of an abortion clinic. "Can I Live" is from the perspective of the baby inside her stomach telling her that he needs to live. The video's script — based on the story of Cannon's mother who was 18 when she had him.

NICK CANNON (f/ Anthony Hamilton) LYRICS

Can I Live


[Talking]
Talking Ma
I know the Situation is Personal
but it something that has to be told
as i was making this beat
you was all i could think about you heard my voice

[Verse 1]
Yeah Just think Just Think
what if you could Just
Just blink your self away..
Just Just wait just pause for a second
Let me plead my case
Its the late 70's Huh
You Seventeen huh
and having me that will rein everything huh
its alot of angel waiting for there wings
you see me in your sleep so you cant kill your dreams
300 Dollars thats the price of living what?
Mommy i dont like this clinic
hopefully you'll make the right decision
and dont go though with the Knife Decision
but it hard to make the right move
when you in high school
how you have to work all day and take night school
hopping off da bus when the rain is pouring
What you want morning sickness or the Sickness of morning

[Chorus]
I Will Always Be apart of you
Trust Your Soul Know His Heart Is True
If I Could Talk I Would Say To You
CAN I LIVE
CAN I LIVE
I Will Always Be apart of you
Trust Your Soul Know His Heart Is True
If I Could Talk I Would Say To You
CAN I LIVE
CAN I LIVE

[Verse 2]
I' am a child of the king
aint no need to go fear me
and i see the flowing tears so know that you hear me
when i move in your worn that's me being scaring
cause who knows where my future holds
yo the truth be told you aint told a soul
yo you aint even showing i just 2 moths old
thorough your clothes try to hide me deny
me went up 3 sizes
your pride got you lying saying aint nothing but a migraine
it aint surprising you not trying to be in wick food lines
your friends look at you funny but look at you mommy
thatz a life inside you look at your tummy
what is becoming ma i am Oprah bound
you can tell he's a star from the Ultrasound
Our Sprits Connected Doors Open Now
Nothing But Love And Respect Thanks For Holding Me Down She Let Me Live...

[Chorus]
I Will Always Be apart of you
Trust Your Soul Know His Heart Is True
If I Could Talk I Would Say To You
CAN I LIVE
CAN I LIVE
I Will Always Be apart of you
Trust Your Soul Know His Heart Is True
If I Could Talk I Would Say To You
CAN I LIVE
CAN I LIVE
[Repeat 2]

[Talking]

Its uplifting foreal yall
i aint passing no judgement
aint making no decisions
I am just telling ya'll my story
my love life
i love my mother for giving me life
we all need to appreciate life
a strong women that had to make a sacrifice
Thanks for listening
Thanks for listening
Mama thanks for listening

Can I Live? is getting some airplay on MTV. Consider voting for Can I Live? so they air the video more often. You never know, maybe we can get that video on TRL! [url="http://www.mtv.com/onair/trl/vote/"]Click here to vote.[/url]. Scroll down nearly to the bottom, click on "other" and enter the fields. Let's get this video on the countdown, which will get the message to the masses!

Considering the only people who watch MTV are already idiot Democrats, it hardly matters. And with this video apparently on MTV (?)...oh, confusion.

Incredible Video and song.... what courage.

I voted from "other" haha, I don't even get MTV.

As much as you might think it'll never play on MTV, multiply that by infinity and that's the chances a video like this would have of playing on Much Music Canada.
