Kool G Rap & DJ Polo Edge of Sanity Lyrics

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 a__ like a big slob
But everywhere I go I get rejected
They won't hire a m_________er 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 n____z 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 m_________in janitor
Plus I got my little n____
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 f___it
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 s___
I step in the Seven-Eleven
Come fast with the cash or get your a__ sent to heaven
He must hit the alarm, cause I'm perspirin
cause now I'm hearin m_________in sirens
I tried to run out, three thousand decent
Next thing I know, I'm sittin in a f___in precinct
for tryin to feed a family
I need rubber b____, cause I'm fallin off the edge of sanity

What a f___ed up night
And I'm mad because the cop put on the handcuffs too f___in 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 n____z 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, m_________er!"
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 n____, he was stone tall
I said, "Yo, I gotta make this m_________in phone call"
He said, "These w____s are mine, and you ain't widdit"
and put his face all up in mine, so I hit it
C.O.'s came, n____z 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 s___, while I'm hangin on the edge of sanity

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 n____
Yeah that b____ is tryin to play me like a sucker
Cause on the down and low I heard another n____ f___ed her
Now homicide is on my mind
for knowin that this b____ is at home, screwin while I'm doin time
And the n____ that's____tin the skins
is a bold m_________er cause he's one of my own friends
But that's alright cause I got somethin for they a__es
And when I see him I'ma smash his f___in 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 b____ a visit
I'm ringin the bell like hell
Oh nobody's home huh? So I kicked it til the s___ fell
Stepped in the house with my finger on the trigger
b___er a__ n____ stuttered, "Wha-wha-what's up n____?"
My b____ was scared, cause she knew that I was steamin
She ran her a__ 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
