Jay has so many bangers and so many possibles to be the greastest Hov song. I argue with my friends all the time and most of us end up leaning towards "Can I live". Let me get nostalgic: Yo i remember my mother buying Reasonable Doubt the friday after it dropped because Aint No... and Cant Knock The Hustle was her joints (My mom was the Cool Mom on my block!!! lol she listened to everything and would blast music on a Friday night til the morning hours lol) I had a Uncle who was a underground rapper : Problemz who was associated with the beatnuts, Clark Kent was/is a close family friend and older siblings who always played the dope shyt around me. So i became a Jay fan from day one! I remember hearing and just playing Can I live til the point where my mom knows the lyrics line for line til this day lol. My Mom is 54 SPITTIN THAT 2ND VERSE!

Yo it is custom that we play "Can I live" at family functions, brehs!!
My mind is infested
with sick thoughts that circle like a lexus
if drivin wrong, it sure to hurt you
Duel levels like duplexes
In unity, my crew n me
commit atrocities like we got immunity
