Can You Learn (feat. R. Kelly)

Ay, I got a question for the ladies out there

'Cause there's a few things that I would like to know

Before I fuck with you

Oh, baby, could you learn

Could you learn to love a troubled man?

Oh, baby, could you learn

Could you learn to love a troubled man?

You sure you wanna roll with me? I'm a complicated man

Live my life close to the edge, it ain't even safe to stand

I'm trouble, man, always into something

Numb to the consequences, guess it's comin' if it's comin'

But so much shit they say that I can't do because I'm famous

Guess I should live in a bubble like these other entertainers

The danger's so enticing to me, I don't even notice it

Guess I'll get away or get arrested 'fore it's over with

Prison sentenced every year, got e'rybody after me

Reaper on my heels, I'm just prayin' he don't catch a G

Imagine me and you, somewhere happy with a few hundred mills

Still I could go to jail for some years

'Cause I push it to the limit, the danger's so exciting

I'm lovin' every minute, girl, this life, ain't nothing like it

And you only live once, so as long as I'm alive

I'll be livin' on the edge, shawty, sure you wanna ride?

Oh, baby, could you learn

Could you learn to love a troubled man?

Oh, baby, could you learn

Could you learn to love a troubled man?

Yeah, ay, ay, ay, they say if the drugs ain't the death of me

The lifestyle will be

Law keep arrestin' me, sucker wanna kill me

Still we in the fast lane, grind, break, next speed

A million-dollar sports car, smokin' on the best weed

Fistfights in nightclubs for rap beefs

Shootings, retaliations, yeah, it's that deed

I guess they just got to catch me when they catch me

'Cause I'm puttin' it in they life if they attempt to disrespect me

Especially since I know they say what go around, come around

That's why when we go around, I keep a gun around

The bullshit, there be none around here

But I got a secret, though, I wanna change, I swear

But suckers won't let me, and feds still sweat me

So I'm lookin' for the worst to have you prayin' for the best

Think you can help me if they get me? Could you handle shit for me?

Think about it, is you 'bout it? Shawty, answer this for me

Oh, baby, could you learn

Could you learn to love a troubled man?

Oh, baby, could you learn

Could you learn to love a troubled man?

Girl, would you give me your number

If I had a okay car, not much money, a 9 to 5 with a future on me, oh?

Tell me, would you ever fuck with a brother like me?

If I did time in my life, time, time in my life

Time, time in my life, time, time in my life?

Tell me, would you give your sex to me?

I really wanna know

If I was fightin' in the club, fightin', fightin' in the club

Fightin', fightin' in the club, fightin', fightin' in the club?

Oh, hey there, lady, could you learn

Learn to love a troubled man?

Ay, hey, hey, baby, could you learn

Could you learn to love a troubled man?

(I was born in these streets, raised in these streets)

(And by the grace of God, I was discovered in these streets)

(Baby, all I need you to do is listen to my story)

(I was born in these streets, raised in these streets)

(By the grace of God, I was discovered in these streets)
