[Verse 1]
Woke up thinkin’ I can’t do it
Tongue tied
Heart stupid
Scrollin’ through my heroes
Feelin’ useless
Pen in my hand
But the page pure silence
Every line feel weak when I write it
Every dream feel cheap when I hype it
I say “I’m fine”
But I’m fightin’ in private
Laugh it off
So they don’t see me hidin’
[Chorus]
Can I or can’t I
I ask it all night
Stand in my shadow
Or step in that light
Voice in my chest say
“Go
Don’t quit”
Favorite song in my head called
“I can’t do it”
Can I or can’t I
I’m right at that split
One more bar till I turn
“I can’t” to “I did”
[Verse 2]
Friends say “bro
You kinda got somethin’”
I just shrug
Say “nah
I’m just frontin’”
’Cause if I try hard
Then fail in public
That’s worse than never sayin’
I love this
So I joke
Say I’m good at givin’ up
Say my genre is doubt
And self‑destruct
But my foot keep tappin’
My brain keep rappin’
Whole life practicin’
For this one action
[Chorus]
Can I or can’t I
I ask it all night
Stand in my shadow
Or step in that light
Voice in my chest say
“Go
Don’t quit”
Favorite song in my head called
“I can’t do it”
Can I or can’t I
I’m right at that split
One more bar till I turn
“I can’t” to “I did”
[Bridge]
Maybe the fear
Is part of the skill
Maybe being real
Means bein’ this real
If I’m so bad
Why I’m still here writin’?
If it meant nothin’
Why my pulse still risin’? (yeah)
[Chorus]
Can I or can’t I
I ask it all night
Stand in my shadow
Or step in that light
Voice in my chest say
“Go
Don’t quit”
Favorite song in my head called
“I can’t do it”
Can I or can’t I
I’m standin’ mid‑shift
One more bar till I turn
“I can’t” to “I did”
