I CAN HAVE IT ALL
DJ Khaled Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, I know you're tired, baby
Yeah, I know you're so tired
Yeah, help has arrived, baby
Look up in the sky
Know you wanna fly (wanna fly)
Know you're tryin' your hardest to get by
Yeah, I could see it in your eyes (oh, I)
I could see it in (I could see it in)

We The Best Music

'Cause I can have it all
I can have it (I can have it)
I can have it all
I can have it (I can have it)
Another one

And I can have it all
I can have it (I can have it)
I can have it all
I can have it

DJ Khaled

Yeah
Knew I was special from a young age (come on)
Knew I would take some shit to my grave
Hope that the problems that I became
To some niggas that I snaked don't catch up to me someday
But karma my bitch and she workin' for me (what else?)
One time for the niggas who still adore me (what else?)
'Cause it's some broads out here fuckin' for forty
And I'm just tryna make somebody son fall in love before forty
I been on some wild shit (wild shit)
Comin' out the bank with a mortgage deposit (deposit)
Made myself a promise I'ma win (I'ma win)
Never again, broke up, broken hearted
And I'm starin' at the fountain blue from the balcony (real life)
Runnin' a mile in my red bottoms, tryna chase a dream

'Cause I can have it all, I can have it (I can have it)
I can have it all, I can have it (I can have it)
Ain't got no hate in my blood or no jealousy
Know it's somebody, it's somebody out there just for me
And I can have it all, I can have it (I can have it)
I can have it all, I can have it (I can have it)

I could feel it in the air (the air)

Yeah, ridin' with my billionaire homie, I got the Glock up on me
He always askin' me why I got it? Be tryna hide it from him
He tell me, "Why don't you get some security? You got a lot of money"
But I can't get this shit out my heart, they took my father from me
Shit, do you know the feelin' of success?
When you young and you black but you stressed and you blessed
And you gotta wake up every single mornin', do your best
And when you get your cake up niggas gon' try you on the 'net
I had to switch way up 'cause I can't die by my respect
I got kids I gotta feed, I got a mama that can't grieve
When it was slow and niggas left, I made my mind up, I can't leave
Plus it's homies doin' life, shit, I got guys that gotta free
Juveniles don't get no life at seventeen, he was eighteen
They gave him life so we gotta pray and believe
And try to squeeze on every resource that we know that he need
We must achieve and once we see him we gon' go and succeed
The heart of creed, I'm from Philly, nigga

From the balcony I see the fountain blue
Over the bridge is muddy waters, 'til your dreams come true (know where I'm from)
But I can have it all, I can have it (I can have it)
I can have it all, I can have it (I can have it)
From the balcony I see the fountain blue
Over the bridge is muddy waters, 'til your dreams come true
But I can have it all, I can have it (I can have it)
I can have it all, I can have it (I can have it)

Who knew it would be worth all of the losses?
Hopped in the Bentley, ain't even worry what the cost is
I know you out there tryna sell your soul for profit
We gotta count all of the blessings 'cause it's God sent
Standin' on the edge right now
I said I'm standin' on the edge right now
And if the walls come down
If it all come down
If it come down

Starin' at the fountain blue from the balcony
Runnin' a mile in my red bottoms tryna chase a dream
'Cause I can have it all, I can have it (I can have it)
I can have it all, I can have it (I can have it)
Ain't got no hate in my blood or no jealousy
Know it's somebody, it's somebody out there just for me
And I can have it all, I can have it (I can have it)
I can have it all, I can have it (I can have it)





I could feel it in the air (the air)
