joell ortiz - can't live without your love lyrics

[intro]
i love this sh+t man
love this sh+t
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, sh+t)
salt+n+pepa and heavy d going in waxine bags
on the kitchen table in my mama crib (d+mn)
i turned my back on music sh+t 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 n+ggas is cake?
i’m brutus the barber (um)
she a talent
honestly, who can f+ck 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 sh+t, man
[outro]
yeah, we good
