Jumpin’ Out The Window - Slaine

Cause 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 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

Cause 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

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

Cause 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

Cause 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?

Cause 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

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

Cause 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
