THE EDGE
They gon try and push me to the edge
Thinking I’m a threat
They just want me dead
But they can’t forget
The boy who got it down
The man who helped em’ out
No recognition
You ain’t gotta shout me out
They gon try and push me to the edge
Thinking I’m a threat
They just want me dead
But they can’t forget
The boy who got it down
The man who helped em’ out
No recognition
You ain’t gotta shout me out

I’m only human so I’m bound to make mistakes
I just keep my head up, no matter how long it takes
Garden of Eden, better watch out for the snakes
Cuz they say they want no smoke but they gon’ blow it in your face
They support you at the lowest
But when you become the focus
And the people start to notice
Then they wanna be your friend
But it’s only cuz your famous
And they see you going places
It turns out they were the fakest
And just wanna play pretend
And they can't comprehend
That I tried to make amends
Stab me in the back
And then they do it all again
But I give em' second chances
Cuz I have a humble heart
And a gentle soul
That’s when they try to tear you apart
I could count so many times
When they would leave me in the dust
I remember times where there was nobody I could trust
Been sometimes I couldn’t think
And I was bound to lose head
But I guess that’s what happens
When they push you to the edge
They gon try and push me to the edge
Thinking I’m a threat
They just want me dead
But they can’t forget
The boy who got it down
The man who helped em’ out
No recognition
You ain’t gotta shout me out
They gon try and push me to the edge
Thinking I’m a threat
They just want me dead
But they can’t forget
The boy who got it down
The man who helped em’ out
No recognition
You ain’t gotta shout me out

Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Let's crank this jawn up (all the way up)
Young Fridge! (yeah, aye)

Counting up all my dividends
Rappers bound to play pretend
Who they think they bigger than?
Legend like a veteran
Real ones only digging it
Fake ones only get sick of it
Black man who's  been articulate?
When did they get all ignorant?
We can get all belligerent
They get mad cuz I'm diligent
Heroes can get all villainous
Days ones always been feeling this
Look at all my accomplishments
Compliments with that common sense
No one killing my confidence
Only rapper who's dominant
Domino's over Pizza Hut
Franklin said to keep in touch
I might blow your speakers up
Only rapper who speaking up
Find that kinda funny
Cuz they said my voice ain’t deep enough
Album after single man I swear they never keeping up
They gave younger me no options
Who you stopping
Only boy who get it poppin
Look who walked in
Music everywhere go
Pocket like a Walkman
Rap already dead
So I put it in a coffin
Momma drive a Camry
With music in the back
I was just a youngin' with a notebook in his lap
Who focused his ideas
And jotted down the raps
Couple years later
Put my city on map
So why they busy trying me?
They eyein’ me, definitely
Society defining me
But finally, I gotta be
The person who’s outside the box
With skinny jeans
And Nike socks
So imma give it all I got
And roll out like an Autobot
