He just ruined his career in Hollywood.

[LibSnubber]

Hey, you joined FR today to post that crap? And no comment from you? I think you took a wrong turn somewhere...

[econ_grad]

What the f* is this crap?

[new cruelty]

What about the above article do you think is crap?

[new cruelty]

Sorry, I misread your comment.

[LibSnubber]

No harm, no foul, FRiend!

[jsk10]

maybe...but he just gained one more fan in Atlanta.

I guess I'll forgive him for "Drumline" now :)

[ExcursionGuy84]

BOOOOMMMMM!!!!!

Mano-O-Man-O-Man, That was a Truly PHENOMENAL Video!!

Normally, I'm not really interested in Rap music of today, bu WOO-hhoo-Wee, That was truly G-O-O-D!!

Thank You, Father GOD, for this man, Nick Cannon's, story, for His mom & her Best & Right CHoice for her son's life back then!!!

[missanne]

This is beautiful....wonderfully done video and the music while not my usual taste is well done. I can actually understand the words. Pray that the impact is made on others who don't understand yet what being pro life is all about.

[2R1]

AMEN!!!!

We loved Drumline too!

[Paradox]

WOW, what a powerful video. Folks this may do more to prevent abortions than 100 abortion clinic pickets..

[marajade]

I love Drumline. Great movie!

[jsk10]

okay, not to argue...but...

when two guys really don't like each other...the way they settle things isn't.."pick up your drum and we'll drum off". other than that... ha.

ha. hey, i watched the movie...points against me. but this video is 'off the chain'. very impressive and powerful. i agree with earlier post, it will do more to promote life than 100 protests at clinics.

Here's the lyrics. I'm sending them around to everybody I know. Let's help this get all the publicity we can! And air time! And album sales!

Album: Nick Cannon
Song: Can I Live

[Talking]
Talking Ma
I know the Situation is Personal
but it’s something that has to be told.
As I was making this beat
you was all I could think about, you heard my voice.

[Verse 1]
Yeah Just think Just Think
what if you could Just
Just blink your self away..
Just Just wait just pause for a second
Let me plead my case:

Its the late 70's Huh
You Seventeen Huh
and having me, that will ruin everything, huh
it’s a lot of angel waiting for there wings
you see me in your sleep ---so you cant kill your dreams
300 Dollars. that’s the price of living what?
Mommy I don’t like this clinic!

Hopefully you'll make the right decision
and dont go though with the Knife Decision
but It’s hard to make the right move
when you in high school
how you have to work all day and take night school
hopping off da bus when the rain is pouring--
What you want, morning sickness or the Sickness of mourning?

[Chorus]
I Will Always Be a part of you
Trust Your Soul Know His Heart Is True
If I Could Talk I Would Say To You
CAN I LIVE
CAN I LIVE
I Will Always Be a part of you
Trust Your Soul Know His Heart Is True
If I Could Talk I Would Say To You
CAN I LIVE
CAN I LIVE

[Verse 2]
I' m a child of the king
ain’t no need to go fear me
and I see the flowing tears, so I know that you hear me.
When I move in your womb that's me being scaredy
cause who knows what my future holds?
Yo --the truth be told you aint told a soul
Yo-- you aint even showing, I just 2 months old
though your clothes try to hide me deny me went up 3 sizes
your pride got you lying saying ain’t nothing but a migraine.
It ain’t surprising, you not trying to be in WIC food lines.
Your friends look at you funny, but look at you, mommy
thats a life inside you, look at your tummy!
What is becoming, Ma--- I am Oprah bound
you can tell he's a star from the Ultrasound
Our Spirits Connected ---Doors Open Now
Nothing But Love And Respect Thanks For Holding Me Down
She Let Me Live...

[Chorus]
I Will Always Be a part of you
Trust Your Soul Know His Heart Is True
If I Could Talk I Would Say To You
CAN I LIVE
CAN I LIVE
I Will Always Be apart of you
Trust Your Soul Know His Heart Is True
If I Could Talk I Would Say To You
CAN I LIVE
CAN I LIVE

[Repeat 2]
[Talking]
It’s uplifting for real, y’all
I ain’t passing no judgment
ain’t making no decisions
I am just telling ya'll my story
I love life
I love my mother for giving me life
we all need to appreciate life
a strong woman that had to make a sacrifice
Thanks for listening
Thanks for listening
Mama thanks for listening

As a pro-lifer myself, this is the first truly Godly statement I've seen in the arts in a looooong time! May our awesome Heavenly Father bless Nick for this. Also, isn't this a Kanye West production? He's made some great faith statements in the last few years too!

[misty4jc]

I love it! Gave me chills. :o) God Bless him.

Thank you for sharing this! I'm going to forward it to everyone I know.
