(Cyrus Deshield)

(Cuz I can hear the sky
While it whispers in my ear
And the demons in my past
Wish I’d disappear
I take a look outside
The rain is falling down
And jumpin’ out the window
But I won’t touch the ground)

Verse 1
Slaine

I had nothing at all, nothing to lose
And I was use to it
Music was everything to me
Got through my youth with it
I dealt with the bullshit my childhood it came with
And honestly I never spired to become famous
I was so mentally insane from the pain and anguish that I suffered through
Chip on my shoulder like “who the fuck are you?”
People thought I was crazy
Even my mother, my girl, cousins, sisters, head in the clouds
I’m from another world
I’ve beat my pain through the pen
Raft in a rage
That was a long time ago
That was back in the day
Now my name and fame has grown
Its like I’m trapped in a cage
Everybody staring at me
They either loved me or hated me
Lately I’ve been crying when I’m alone
Driving my car
Feeling proud how I’m surviving this far
I have done records and movies they say I am a star
But nah
I’m a product of a world so violent and hard


Chorus
(Cyrus Deshield)


(Cuz I can hear the sky
While it whispers in my ear
And the demons in my past
Wish I’d disappear
I take a look outside
The rain is falling down
And jumpin’ out the window
But I won’t touch the ground
I won’t touch the ground)

Verse 2
Slaine

Yesterday I was walking on the street
In Dorchester where I was born
I was getting something to eat
I was talking on the phone
This girl started screaming my name
Cuz she was a babe
Things are different for me now
I’m like Jesus
I can’t
Believe
How I was so broke and addicted in ‘05
I didn’t wanna go no where
Though I wanted to go hide
Now I’m the voice of a generation
And a culture of youngins
And respect what I stand for
And they wanna become him
These are the same kids
Who grew up where I’m from
And I love it
I’ve persevered through everything
I just knew I could become this
I feel the love now
It’s like I overcome all the numbness
But I paid the price for it
And I’m sick to my stomach
If you believe in me you should
Cuz I promise I always write
So when you’re piss drunk
Walking through the project always at night
Just know when you’re hot
You can make it out if you believe
I haven’t forgot where I’m from
I’m still here
Why would I leave?
Chorus
(Cyrus Deshield)

(Cuz I can hear the sky
While it whispers in my ear
And the demons in my past
Wish I’d disappear
I take a look outside
The rain is falling down
And jumpin’ out the window
But I won’t touch the ground
I won’t touch the ground)


Verse 3
(Edo G)

I dig hip-hop
I didn’t sing a role
The things I carry
Are heavier then things U Haul
I’m from a place where most never win at all
I’m from a place where base was in my hall
I use common sense
To turn certainty into confidence
Them came the ambulance
I got bigger
But five hands was a gun
People with money know when to pull the trigger
We all the same on the surface
You feel your life is worthless
You can turn pain into purpose
So at the top I still feel alone
Everybody’s a guest but act like they home
I got to have it made a Big Dig
They put my foot in the cement
When every deal was a banquet
Every gathering’s a party
Yeah, and every show is an event
Chorus
(Cyrus Deshield)

(Cuz I can hear the sky
While it whispers in my ear
And the demons in my past
Wish I’d disappear
I take a look outside
The rain is falling down
And jumpin’ out the window
But I won’t touch the ground
I won’t touch the ground)
