Living on the Edge

Back on these streets, writing my pain on these sheets

Trying to find peace, but I'm trapped in the deep

Lost my past, can't forget, got scars I won't show

Every day’s a battle, got me feeling so low

Wasting these sheets, the words spill out my mind

Rap is my release, but I know there's more to find

Can rap my ass off, trap my pain tighter

Way better my soul, fire burning brighter

Wonder why I had to lose my folks so soon

Thinking ’bout the what ifs, staring at the moon

One wrong move, and I might be done

Living on the edge, just a step from none

Standing on the cliff, thinking 'bout jumping

Caught in my thoughts, need to stop this thumping

Wishes I could talk to Dad and Mom

Too much on my mind, ‘bout to blow my calm

Game is my wife, streets is my life

Waiting for the knock, shadows in the night

Feds on my trail, now I gotta run

Wonder if they know where I come from

Betrayal surrounds me, trust is a myth

Watching my back in every breath I my lift

Paranoid and scared, I breathe in dread

Hoping I survive, not be laid in a bed

Keep moving forward, no choice but to fight

Living this life in the shadow of night

Street's my home, my story to tell

In this concrete jungle, I'm living in hell
