I Can
Johnnie R. Walker Lyrics

Babies ain't got water safe enough for them to drink
Clean drinking water is not accessible to babies, which is concerning

Crazy when you know that you can die right from your sink
The fact that the water from the sink can be deadly is crazy

Kids around my age ain't got no guap to pay they rent
Children of my age do not have sufficient funds to pay rent, indicating financial struggle for families

Corporations they will work you out until you tense
Companies exploit their workers to the point of exhaustion

How come after all those hours you cant pay your rent
Despite working for long hours, some people are still unable to afford basic necessities like rent

These girls will go to jail if they decide to abort them kids
Girls can be incarcerated for their decision to have an abortion, limiting their reproductive rights

How we leave out Puerto Rico this shit don't make sense
By ignoring Puerto Rico, the system is failing to serve its citizens

Celebrating quinceras right behind a fence
The practice of celebrating quinceañeras behind a fence illustrates social barriers and exclusion

California's actually lit
California is a great place to be

Trash in our motherfucking oceans will not sink
Even the trash in the oceans floats and harms wildlife, indicating the severity of the issue

I really think we hit the brink
We are dangerously close to the point of no return

So don't give me no advice
The artist does not want unsolicited advice

I know how to live life
The singer is confident in their ability to navigate life

I'm high all the time
The singer frequently indulges in substance use

I live for long nights
The singer enjoys being active and staying up late

I know what it look like
The artist is aware of how they come across

Live a dream but real life
Life can seem like a dream, but harsh realities still exist

Give me nobel peace prize
The singer wants recognition for their advocacy and contribution to society

I'm tired
The singer is exhausted, likely from dealing with societal issues

Want them all to be right
The artist hopes for a world where things are fair for everyone

That's why I work hard
The artist is motivated by their desire to make a positive impact

So my nieces live right
The artist wants to ensure that their family is taken care of and can live comfortably

Sacrifice my whole life
The singer has given up a lot to work towards their goals

Excited I am alive
The artist is grateful for their existence

Who the fuck is not tired
Everyone is exhausted, as societal issues take a heavy toll

Kids ain't going to ever have to worry about what I had to worry about when I came up through life
The singer hopes to make a world where future generations will not have to struggle with the same issues they faced

Why can't I help everyone I swear this shit ain't right
The singer is frustrated by the limitations to their impact

I know that I was placed here so that I can make it right
The artist feels that their purpose is to make positive changes in the world

I take on the weight of the whole world to live this life
The artist feels that they bear the weight of the world's problems, and works towards a better future despite the immense burden

Order up the Uber XL for my babies bikes
The singer wants to provide their family with everything they need, including luxury items like Uber XL for their bikes

They will be alright
The singer wants to ensure that their loved ones are taken care of

Only thing they worry about is Santa Clause at night
The artist wants their family to have a carefree childhood

Santa got Columbus treatment from us our whole life
The jaded speaker compares the treatment of Santa to the historical mistreatment of Indigenous Peoples

It's a shame how fast that they can marginalize your mind
Society can quickly make individuals feel small and unimportant

I be thanking god when I wake up and I ain't die
The singer is grateful for each day they are alive

I can understand you put a gate around your crib
The artist can understand the desire for safety and protection

How we let the government put one around the whole nation
The singer questions why the government has created barriers and limitations on society

Why this shit don't make no sense
The singer is frustrated by the illogical nature of societal issues

So that one day they'll fly high like Carson Wentz
The singer wants future generations to achieve great things and be successful

Giving all those starving babies scholarships
The artist wants to help those in need and provide opportunities

Fuck a compromise to live a life
The artist does not want to compromise their values in order to achieve success

Living life ain't a right
The singer acknowledges that not everyone has the privilege to live comfortably

I don't want to be polite
The singer does not feel the need to be respectful to those who uphold societal issues

Tell your friend that's my type
The artist is attracted to a particular type of person

It's alright
The artist feels content and okay with their life

Living for the long nights
The artist enjoys being active at night

Gotta look out for Lacebob
The singer wants to protect their family

Team protecting my life
The artist is grateful for the support and protection of their team
