Rhymefest - Pulls Me Back lyrics

[Chorus]: Every time it feels my feet are too close to the edge It's always you that pulls me right back in And when I'm in these streets too deep and I'm drowning It's always you that pulls me right back It's always you that pulls me right back in [Verse One]: I always tried to be the cool one Level head, k** the drama, try to move on Before it turn into some beef we gotta move on And I ain't scared but when it's on, turn the news on It's Chi-Town, n***as know how we get down Gang bang wrong colors, turn your hat round So many shorties, flat line, layin' flat down Or locked up, doin' time from the pat down Black, brown, momma please, what you tellin' me? I can't vote I already got a felony I supply the key, rules don't apply to me f** sobriety, the Hennessy can cry with me At Ford, 80,000 jobs was all cut And last week, some shorty shot the mall up So now either we can ball or we can ball up And I don't really give a damn what they call us It's all lust [Chorus]: Every time it feels my feet are too close to the edge It's always you that pulls me right back in And when I'm in these streets too deep and I'm drowning It's always you that pulls me right back It's always you that pulls me right back in [Verse Two]: My grandmother keep tellin' me to slow down My grandfather said, "Let that boy go now." My girlfriend always wanna focus on her goals Picket fence, bank account with a couple 0's My old homies wanna see me on the straight path But when I'm doin' right my new n***as straight laugh And that's what make it bad And that's what take me back To the place where everything I do I wanna make it last I work hard, but I still wanna make it fast Maserati, no breaks, me and you on the gas At a speed so quick we can erase the past There's no way that this feeling wasn't made to last [Chorus]: Every time it feels my feet are too close to the edge It's always you that pulls me right back in And when I'm in these streets too deep and I'm drowning It's always you that pulls me right back It's always you that pulls me right back in [Verse Three]: I don't want your sympathy, we don't need the handouts Just even the playing field and give us some land now Ghetto Godfather, I'm the black Marlon Brando Ahhh Livin' life like it's planned out But you can never foretell my tale And you bought the CD but I'm not fo' sale It's somethin' you gotta feel like blind folks braille And I can't leave the state cause I'm out on bail Hell Has no fury like a jury Sentence me, no tears, eyes not blurry Surely, I'mma come back with the fury Hands in the air man, holla if ya hear me [Chorus]: Every time it feels my feet are too close to the edge It's always you that pulls me right back in And when I'm in these streets too deep and I'm drowning It's always you that pulls me right back It's always you that pulls me right back in The cops wanna take away my freedom Haters don't wanna see me in a pool Take away the cars and the j**elry Then I'm only here cause of you [Chorus]: Every time it feels my feet are too close to the edge It's always you that pulls me right back in And when I'm in these streets too deep and I'm drowning It's always you that pulls me right back It's always you that pulls me right back in
