U Can Be Touched – 2Pac

[Napoleon talking:]
Life… What the fuck is life for niggas like us?
Been wakin’ up to another muthafuckin’ day
I’m the type of soldier
A nigga that seen everything in my mothafuckin’ eyes
I seen my parents get killed to my mothafuckin’ eyes
I seen my brother kill himself in my eyes
I seen ‘Pac, Yak die in the struggle in my eyes
So I know anybody can be touched, you know what I mean?

[Napoleon:]
Oh God, forgive me, somebody please say a prayer for me
Needed my parents, but they was never there for me
Believe in everything they feed me, I’m seein’ demons
I wake up screamin’, who believe me or was I dreamin’?
Five fingers on the .45 chrome
Dead aim at my brain, infrared with no lights on
I ain’t afraid to die, I want to see what’s after this
I’m livin’ blind, writin’ rhymes ’til they capture this
And if we die, let the world understand why
Soldier my eyes, hate to see a young thug cry
They seein’ us inside a casket, that’s how they see us
Oh God, forgive us ghetto bastards, we human beings
They leavin’ us inside this hell-hole
Just waitin’ to fail, so then they tell us that’s what jail fo’
Adolescent young teens turned violent
It’s floatin’, in a world turned silent, cuz you could be touched

[2Pac:]
Young niggas in the wild life
Criminal mind of a juvenile, still live a child life
Thinkin’ he can make his pay, too in a rush
Niggas better slow down cause you can be touched
Young niggas in the wild life
Criminal mind of a juvenile, still live a child life
Thinkin’ he can make his pay, too in a rush
Niggas better slow down cause you can be touched

[E.D.I.:]
I live life high speed, movin’ a million miles per hour
Towards my destiny, makin’ decisions carelessly
Yeah, it’s me, yo’ nigga man child
Bomb first, stand proud, ain’t lookin’ for hand-outs
25 years up in this bitch
And I’ll be damned if I ain’t leavin’ rich and leave my kids a grip
I let my blood drip off in this thug shit, you can be touched
I catch you slippin’ while I’m on a money mission
Like right now, 30 dollars to my John Hancock
Try to get more so my shit don’t flock
I lick off shots for everything they owe me
And when it’s my time to go I pray the Lord hold me

[Kastro:]
I was born in the city that never sleeps
Schooled by the realest of the real niggas that ever breathed
And I was big when I was young
And now I see that I was dumb
My nigga, Lonnie just got hit with 10
10 years for trustin’ a friend, they left him stuck in the Pen’
I love him, we all here just to die here
Plus, nobody cares what got here
Touched by a angel and kissed by the Lord
Praise the thug ways and I’ll never be bored
Touched, by a angel and kissed by the Lord
Y’all praise the thug ways, so forever it’s on, baby

[Young Noble:]
Why grieve this life, planted by the fiends and pipes?
Green lights so I’m seein’-seein’ everything twice
Pretty much of nothin’ nice, we suckin’ it up
Even when we get a job, we fuckin’ it up
Like it can’t happen to us, I could never be a bum
Yeah, right, you wound up one
God forbid I’m touched, y’all keep livin’ it up
Look and learn, next it could be your turn… word

[Kadafi:]
Yes, this a felonies’ hobby that got me here, thinkin’ robbery
Day to day all year long, Teflon protects my body
It’s such unimportant in this criminal cartel
I’m caught and supportin’ me
So in these streets of hockey I play the goalie
Secrets of war licks, and score shit
Share between clients and homies
Remember what Pacino told me
Before he past, watch them clowns with them crocodile smiles
Cause they phony, I get that cash, stay lonely
And I’m point like a thong, and it’s survival of the strong
Livin’ outside the laws of this crooked world I was born
Touched…
