Meanwhile, up in the cabins Mic check, two-three, one-two, one-two, mic check, two-three
Yo, Tuesday morning, I ring upon a door Wednesday morning, come knock a little more Door crack open, they be like: Who is it? Mister 86 come to pay that ass a visit Sleet, rain, or snow, and even through the blizzard It's the FedEx man, mush your ed-ex-man Caught you in your curlers all interrupted Girl, forget about your hair, you have been abducted Hold my hand, Ms, lois Lane The president is Black and a lot of things changed That S on my chest is no longer an S It's an N 'cause niggas is running this mess Yeah, if I don't say it, then who will? You won't see Obama on the five-dollar bill I'm still pissed off about Emmett Till
So don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge I'm trying not to lose my head So please don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge I'm trying, check it out
So let her 'round the outside Buffalo girl, you got 'round the Outback And I ain't talking steak, so there ain't no beef See, you could kiss on the boy, but I'll repeat, no teeth No, thief, get your hands out my pocket Every penny I got so she can share thoughts That's right, she gets perched from head work but won't see a dollar The only ring she's seeing's around the collar But we gon' do our dirty wash together Baby got this walk'll make a blind man whistle Her mouth ain't a Hoover, it's more like a Bissell Ms, invincible, the principal Love me emotionally and physical No gains, I'ma give her my best
But don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge I'm trying not to lose my head So please don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge I'm trying (trying)
Edge Edge I'm trying (trying)
