I`m on the verge of commitin murder
My girl is gettin on my last nerve and I don`t wanna hurt her
She wants me to get a job
I get harassed cause I`m laying on my ass like a big slob
But everywhere I go, I get rejected
They won`t hire a motherfucker with a jail record
So the least I could do, is look presentable
But I`m labelled by the city as a criminal
They won`t give me no slack Jack
And I got one strike against me already because my skin is black
See I`m irrelevant to Help Wanted signs
And they wonder why niggaz commit crimes
My girl pays the rent gas and light
Goes to class at days and works at night
I`m trying to get some money I can hand to her
But I ain`t with bein a motherfuckin janitor
Plus I got my little nigga
And I`m tryin my best to be the right kind of father figure
But my hands is startin to shake
I`m tryin to hold my head because I`m reachin for the thirty-eight
I pick it up, man fuckit
I gotta go out and hit the street and get some ducats
Lookin for somethin to hit
I throw on my hood, cause I`m about to do some stupid shit
I step in the Seven-Eleven
Come fast with the cash or get your ass sent to heaven
He must hit the alarm, cause I`m perspirin
cause now I`m hearin motherfuckin sirens
I tried to run out, three thousand decent
Next thing I know, I`m sittin in a fuckin precinct
for tryin to feed a family
I need rubber balls, cause I`m fallin off the edge of sanity

What a fucked up night
And I`m mad because the cop put on the handcuffs too fuckin tight
Central Bookin is where they sent me
So they could take a couple of pictures after they fingerprint me
Then they put me in a cell
And it was all full of niggaz that was dirty and stinkin as hell
Four hours passed already, so now I`m yawnin
And I`m hopin to see the judge in the mornin
Finally they call my name and I get up with speed
to appear before the judge, and make a plead
I saw the judge, he was a brother
He said, "How do you plead?" I said, "Not guilty, motherfucker!"
Then I got kicked out of court, sent to the Island
where they got all of these young brothers wildin
And all I seen was teenagers
And brothers just slicin one another with straight razors
I saw this nigga, he was stone tall
I said, "Yo, I gotta make this motherfuckin phone call"
He said, "These whores are mine, and you ain`t widdit"
and put his face all up in mine, so I hit it
C.O.`s came, niggaz started to zing
Now I gotta do about three days in the bank
I did my time and now I`m back from my vacation
Right on track, they put me back in populations
I got dressed, and hit the mess hall
Then when I came back, FINALLY I got to make my phone call
My girl is bringin out the man in me
Cause she`s yellin and shit, while I`m hangin on the edge of sanity
Edge of Sanity (4X)
I`m sittin Up North, and doin three to nine
And it feels like my whole life is bein left behind
I`m goin crazy in this place
And I`m countin the days, cause I`m about to be a mental case
My little son is gettin bigger
And he picked up the phone one day and thought I was some other nigga
Yeah that bitch is tryin to play me like a sucker
Cause on the down and low I heard another nigga fucked her
Now homicide is on my mind
for knowin that this bitch is at home, screwin while I`m doin time
And the nigga that`s hittin the skins
is a bold motherfucker cause he`s one of my own friends
But that`s alright cause I got somethin for they asses
And when I see him I`ma smash his fuckin glasses
Livin in hell but now my blood is gettin cold
Two months later, I got released on parole
So now I`m rollin colder than a blizzard
I got some iron from my man and went to pay the stupid bitch a visit
I`m ringin the bell like hell
Oh nobody`s home huh? So I kicked it til the shit fell
Stepped in the house with my finger on the trigger
Butter ass nigga stuttered, "Wha-wha-what`s up nigga?"
My bitch was scared, cause she knew that I was steamin
She ran her ass to the back and started screamin
*one shot fired* to the body *two shots fired* to the head
*one shot fired* put the barrel in his mouth, makin sure he`s dead
And the police ain`t cannin me
inside a cell, cause I just fell off the edge of sanity
