Touch The Sky

[Intro]
Rub your titties, lady
Grab your balls, gentleman
Slaine is back in this motherfuckin' building
Came a long way up, long way up the [?]
Haha
Here we go, check it

[Chorus]
If I can't live, then I can't die
If I can't laugh, baby, I can't cry
If you ain't you, maybe I ain't I
If you can't dream, you can't touch the sky
If I can't live, then I can't die
If I can't laugh, baby, I can't cry
If you ain't you, maybe I ain't I
If you can't dream, you can't touch the sky

[Verse 1]
I was born in this cold world worn-out and beat up
Billfolds, blowbags torn out of my sneakers
Pouring out liters, foreign speeded speeches
Torn out of my souls with the soles of my worn-out Adidas
It's just a norm for us street kids
Wronged by the speakers, the politicians, and teachers
I guess they couldn't reach us at all
I'm secret, keeping it raw
I never piss to the wind because I ain't got no secrets at all
Pissed off at the whole world, I take a leak in the wall
And fuck the police, you can give the precinct a call
I sink deep in this lawlessness, that I came up in
You say Slaine fucked 'em
I'm in the same game stuck in
But the main thing that I came with the bang-bang buckin'
Hit two herbs on the curbs who got the same dames suckin'
Shit, I been down in the dirt
Look at all this bullshit I came up in
You ain't sayin' nothin'
And you ain't on my level, homie
You're too clean cut, I'm moving with the filth that they shovelled on me

[Chorus]
If I can't live, then I can't die
If I can't laugh, baby, I can't cry
If you ain't you, maybe I ain't I
If you can't dream, you can't touch the sky
If I can't live, then I can't die
If I can't laugh, baby, I can't cry
If you ain't you, maybe I ain't I
If you can't dream, you can't touch the sky

[Verse 2]
See, my mama always told me there was nothing that could hold me back
They sold me dope, they sold me crack
I was never supposed to make it, they told me that
But I swore on my life that I would always rap
I felt my way around in this hallway black
Put my foot up in the room when the doorway cracked
I was misunderstood, why would George say that?
Why the fuck would George say that?
But I never been a snitch, and I never been a rat
And I never been a bitch, how could I be that?
I swung whatever fist, bitch, at the viciousest criminals
Got your mind open like the legs of some centerfolds
You see the winter's cold, I know the summer's hot
I roll like a thief against a dumber cop
Just a street tale from a kid from another block
Bad since he popped from his mother's twot

[Chorus]
If I can't live, then I can't die
If I can't laugh, baby, I can't cry
If you ain't you, maybe I ain't I
If you can't dream, you can't touch the sky
If I can't live, then I can't die
If I can't laugh, baby, I can't cry
If you ain't you, maybe I ain't I
If you can't dream, you can't touch the sky
