Life...

lyrics

Feel an influx of fucks given when stress risen.
Being lost ain't part of the mission, can't be sitting..
Duck. Keep trucking, 16-wheeling. Nice guy live long enough to be villain.
SIns on my head, but no rest for the wicked.
Believe in a heathen: I'll for this vision.
Pot full of piss: family gave me privilege, but not enough to be blind of my pigment. Easy to see we all lost division. Law kill us off. Can't you see we all victims, in a system that rather have us all in prison. Sleep anymore they gone finish the mission. Grandmamas praying on the day Jesus risen. We should be looking for some more activism. The President's orange, clearly there's no limits. Black don't crack: They can't shatter our spirit.

Better unite so the whole world can hear it
Before I die, know they gon' feel it..
Cause We're living on the edge
We living on the edge
We living on the edge
Muscle through baby, hold yo head
Cause we living on the edge

Thoughts, racing
(Will it all be worth it should I--)
Know what? Chase it!
(Will it ever matter? Should I--)
Give up? Never!
(Feel they'll never hear it before--)
You die? Embrace it!
(Tighter than a straightjacket)
Your flow? Crazy!
(Web a syllable like a spider--)
Man? Amazing!
Gas myself like Exxon. Ain't worried bout who's next on the podium. Wrecking instrumentals, haters heavy on the sodium. Battery everlasting, even better than a lithium. Bet your bottom dollar I'mma carry it to stadiums. Bumping while you holla all the words? That's thanking him. King of the Hill: I could see some Hank in him.
Cash in on the word: there's been a bank in him.
Bipolar homie: Jekyll got nothing to hide in him.
Woah nelly, you should take a ride with him. On edge: Stonehenge couldn't even rock with him.

Got a mind on the edge
Got a mind on the edge
Stand tall through it all don't dread
Living this life with a mind on the edge.
Got a mind on the edge
Got a mind on the ledge
Stand tall through it all, don't dread
Living this life with a mind on the edge

Funny how they love you when you're tossing a pigskin,
Then you wake em up, touch a nerve on oppression.
Then they look at you like you're an opposition.
Funny, they hate being put in odd positions.
Home of the brave, created on protest: so why the fuck now do you tighten your chest? Want us to forget four centuries yet,
Ignore the fact cops step on Blacks like roaches?!? Ball's in your court, teach yourself, no coaches.
Unify: don't let supremacists divide for sport!!!
Fresh off my chest, remedy the hopeless.
Easy to believe, follow through and quote this:
A LIFE WITH NO RISK IS A SOUL THAT'S BROKEN!
A LIFE WITH NO RISK IS A SOUL THAT'S BROKEN!
A LIFE WITH NO RISK IS A SOUL THAT'S BROKEN!
A LIFE WITH NO RISK IS A SOUL THAT'S BROKEN.

We're living on the edge, with a mind on the ledge.
Born to lose, designed to win. No recline till the true unity begins.
Stand tall through it, don't dread.
Muscle through baby, hold your head.
We're living this life on the edge.

(Malcolm X)
