El joven rapero y actor Nick Cannon lanzó al mercado musical su última canción "Can I live?" (¿Puedo vivir?) en la que narra cómo su madre desistió de practicarse un aborto y permitió que naciera el 17 de octubre de 1979.
La canción fue lanzada con un conmovedor vídeo, en el que un hombre lleva a una joven asustada a una clínica abortista y encuentra en la puerta una protesta de activistas pro-vida. La adolescente, que representa a la madre de Cannon, atraviesa el grupo entre pancartas en las que se puede leer "La vida es un derecho".
Nick cuenta la historia de su vida, la "historia de amor", como él mismo afirma en el canto, que le permitió existir desde que su madre optó por la vida. "Me ves mientras sueñas, entonces no puedes matar tus sueños. 300 dólares es el precio de vivir. ¿Qué? Mami, no me gusta esta clínica. Con suerte, tomarás la decisión correcta, espero que no decidas por el cuchillo", dice la letra.
Nick entiende la situación por la que atraviesa su madre; la vergüenza y el temor por tener a un nuevo ser siendo tan joven. "Sólo tengo dos meses. Me tratas de esconder en tus ropas que ya han crecido tres tallas. (.) Tus amigos te mirarán raro, pero mírate mami, sólo amor y respeto. Gracias por tenerme. Me dejaste vivir".
La actriz Tatyana Ali, conocida por su papel de Ashley en la serie The Fresh Prince (El Príncipe del Rap) y que también nació en 1979, es quien encarna a la adolescente madre de Nick en el vídeo.
Cannon termina la canción comentando que lo único que está haciendo es contar su historia. La verdadera madre de Nick aparece al final del vídeo, abrazándolo mientras él sigue entonando "amo a mi madre por darme la vida. Necesitamos apreciar la vida. Una mujer fuerte tuvo que sacrificarse. Gracias por escuchar. Gracias por escuchar. Gracias mamá por escuchar".

Aquí os dejo la letra en inglés:
[Talking]
Talking Ma
I know the Situation is Personal
But it 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
It's the late 70's Huh
You Seventeen huh
And having me that will ruin everything huh
It's alot of angels waiting on their wings
You see me in your sleep so you
cant kill your dreams
300 Dollars thats the price of living what?
Mommy I dont like this clinic
Hopefully you'll make the right decision
And dont go through with the Knife incision
But it's hard to make the right move
When you in high school
How you gotta 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'll Always Be a part of you
Trust Your Soul Know it's always true
If I Could Talk I'd Say To You
CAN I LIVE
CAN I LIVE
I'll Always Be a part of you
Trust Your Soul Know it's always true
If I Could Talk I'd Say To You
CAN I LIVE
CAN I LIVE

[Verse 2]
I am a child of the king
Ain't no need to go fear me
And I see the flowing tears so
know that you hear me
When I move in your womb
that's me being scary
Cause who knows what my future holds
Yo the truth be told you ain't told a soul
Yo you ain't even showing
I'm just 2 months old
Through 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 will look at you
funny but look at you mommy
That's a life inside take a look at your tummy
What is becoming ma I am Oprah bound
You can tell he's a star from the Ultrasound
Our Sprits Connected Doors Open Now
Nothing But Love And Respect
Thanks For Holding Me Down She
Let Me Live...
[Chorus]
I'll Always Be a part of you
Trust Your Soul Know it's always true
If I Could Talk I'd Say To You
CAN I LIVE
CAN I LIVE
I'll Always Be apart of you
Trust Your Soul Know it's always true
If I Could Talk I'd Say To You
CAN I LIVE
CAN I LIVE
[Repeat 2]
[Nick Talking]
