Don't push me, cuz i'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head (a-ha-ha-ha-ha...)
Nothing in my pockets except an empty wallet and some house keys
"fu*k YOU" for anyone who doubts me
As i walk the streets armed with the faith
That these boots will be enough get me home in one piece
I exhale, breathe the air,
Smoke-trail got me thinking 'bout the reason I'm here
Cuz I'm only nineteen but my mind is old
City-sider heat wave to Minnesota cold
Cold like the streets of the cross
Where underagers litter the pavement
This ain't paradise - it's innosence lost
Cold like the veins of the junkies
Cold like the hearts of those who take their money
I swear to god, somebody died on my block the other night
A life lost to a domestic fight - that sh** ain't right
Now my picket fence don't look so white
I wonder what posesses a man to k** his wife
And as that wasn't enough,
We build these f**ing poker machines
s**ing the soles of our single moms
See, I'm like Tim Freedman, I wish I could blow 'em up
For all the futures that they've ruined and the homes they've broken up
Now that's proof of a cold world
They're packaging addiction and they sell it as a game
But anyway - time's exponential, two party preferential
And though it's incremental day-to-day we making change...
Here I am
Still tryng to make this stone bleed
In the city of late trains and broken dreams
Where you rap or you talk or put your graph on the wall
You've got to make something out of nothing at all...
And yes, I built this house, I made 'em wrong,
I watched it crumble and now I'm moving on
Now she is rotten to the core, what a pity
We don't wanna be forgotten so we write our stories on the walls of our cities
I'd write them all for you if I had the time
With fourty-foot long letters cuz they're important
It's enough of a challenge, handeling mine, taking one day at a time
Dread and water and crossing borders...
Next to me a baby is crying for his mom as the grounds leave
Economy cla** with chaos all around me
But i don't even care I'm not even there
Frozen in a blank stare with my headphones blaring like:
Don't push me, cuz i'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head (a-ha-ha-ha...)
Nothing in my pockets but a boarding pa** and a pa**port
Fa**on i love you for the friends i never asked for
It keeps me safe, guides me from the sickness
Like a pocket full of posies i walk with the wicked
Talk with a quickness, never let 'em catch up
They wouldn't play with you if they'd see the odds are stacked up
So you back it up, moving town to town
Gotta study how the local village people get down
Riding through the night on a chu train
Having revelations about my place in the food chain
Looking out the window, with the world is in bind
Determined to do something with my given time
And to begin with, imma fit it in a rhyme
Watch as *** ones seated at times
sh**, i spend my days hoping, and buy the same token
We here to get our change broken and our name spoken
So this is my dot on the map, my drop in the ocean,
My patch of dirt and imma make something
Make something work, make something feel,
Make something hurt, make something real
Make something out of me,
Make a friend out of you then again make an enemy of me
Be so just let me be, let me rest, let me sleep, let me wake,
Let me eat, let me grow, be at peace,
Let your guard down, let me close, i'll let you see,
Let you know, let you near, draw you in, let you here,
Show you things, imma let you in...
Said imma let you in..
Said imma let you in...
Horrorshow two double-ow nine, one time for your mind
Said imma let you in. Got to take you inside...
"So here's us, over right in the edge. Don't push me. And i won't push you."
