On The Edge |
Feel the weight on my shoulders, put yourself in my shoes |
Before you past judgment upon the choices I choose |
I’m just a man with a gun in hand protecting what I love |
With a deadly alter plan to persevere and stay above |
Cause at any time the walls can come tumbling down |
And knock you off the top of the ladder back down to the ground |
And now you’re back to point A with a strike against you |
And society don’t like you though they might pretend to |
It ain’t right what men do but dam it’s reality |
And I’ma do the best I can to not become a casualty |
And stand up for my faculty at any time required |
Hammers cocked back gripped the devil ain’t getting fired |
Just another buried sin till my life comes to an end |
Lost my feeling for remorse around the age of nine to ten |
Then gave up half my soul when I lost my closest friend |
To his brother who went from youngest to oldest then |
Everyday and every night of my life! |
My sanity is standin' on the edge lookin' over the ledge |
While mama prays I fight to keep my mind right! |
Sleepin' with my lead under my head quick to hop out the bed |
And point and aim at every noise in the night! |
Pacin' my house 'til sunlight in my armored vest, boxers, socks and cortez |
Been infected by life’s poisonous bite! |
Since I left a man spread, full of lead, fled and left him for dead |
Show a little mercy Lord |
You did drop us in the middle of some dirty wars |
I know lucifer but still I give my love to you |
Please understand my actions stem from what these judges do |
In '98 when blackbird died yeah I cried |
In '99 again I cried after Raymond died |
For several years shed so many tears they dried up |
Pain manifested to anger that keeps me fired up |
Yeah I smile and crack jokes when I’m with the homies |
But when alone I’m in a zone where few would wanna know me |
I’m murder prone every time I step outside my home |
Law enforcement I despise make 'em taste their own |
Bad medicine they force on citizens everyday |
Kidnap 'em, lock 'em in a cage watch 'em beg and pray |
Humiliate 'em strip 'em butt naked bend 'em over |
Make 'em cough 4 times for the fallen soldiers |
Use their billy club to break their bones how they do us |
Then shock 'em with their tazer gun while restrained in cuffs |
Pepper spray their eyes blind and their throat 'til they can’t breathe |
Then let 'em die slowly knowin' that they can’t leave |
To finish up use their own gun to shoot 'em in the gut |
Releasin' acid from their stomach that’ll eat 'em up |
And to anybody questionin' my way of thinkin' |
Obviously haven’t smelled the death these demonz reepin' |
Everyday and every night of my life! |
My sanity is standin' on the edge lookin' over the ledge |
While mama prays I fight to keep my mind right! |
Sleepin' with my lead under my head quick to hop out the bed |
And point and aim at every noise in the night! |
Pacin' my house 'til sunlight in my armored vest, boxers, socks and cortez |
Been infected by life’s poisonous bite! |
Since I left a man spread, full of lead, fled and left him for dead |
