[Chorus]:

Every time it feels my feet are too close to the edge

It's always you that pulls me right back in

And when I'm in these streets too deep and I'm drowning

It's always you that pulls me right back

It's always you that pulls me right back in

[Verse One]:

I always tried to be the cool one

Level head, kill the drama, try to move on

Before it turn into some beef we gotta move on

And I ain't scared but when it's on, turn the news on

It's Chi-Town, niggas know how we get down

Gang bang wrong colors, turn your hat round

So many shorties, flat line, layin' flat down

Or locked up, doin' time from the pat down

Black, brown, momma please, what you tellin' me?

I can't vote I already got a felony

I supply the key, rules don't apply to me

Fuck sobriety, the Hennessy can cry with me

At Ford, 80,000 jobs was all cut

And last week, some shorty shot the mall up

So now either we can ball or we can ball up

And I don't really give a damn what they call us

It's all lust

[Chorus]:

Every time it feels my feet are too close to the edge

It's always you that pulls me right back in

And when I'm in these streets too deep and I'm drowning

It's always you that pulls me right back

It's always you that pulls me right back in

[Verse Two]:

My grandmother keep tellin' me to slow down

My grandfather said, "Let that boy go now."

My girlfriend always wanna focus on her goals

Picket fence, bank account with a couple 0's

My old homies wanna see me on the straight path

But when I'm doin' right my new niggas straight laugh

And that's what make it bad

And that's what take me back

To the place where everything I do I wanna make it last

I work hard, but I still wanna make it fast

Maserati, no breaks, me and you on the gas

At a speed so quick we can erase the past

There's no way that this feeling wasn't made to last

[Chorus]:

Every time it feels my feet are too close to the edge

It's always you that pulls me right back in

And when I'm in these streets too deep and I'm drowning

It's always you that pulls me right back

It's always you that pulls me right back in

[Verse Three]:

I don't want your sympathy, we don't need the handouts

Just even the playing field and give us some land now

Ghetto Godfather, I'm the black Marlon Brando

Ahhh

Livin' life like it's planned out

But you can never foretell my tale

And you bought the CD but I'm not fo' sale

It's somethin' you gotta feel like blind folks braille

And I can't leave the state cause I'm out on bail

Hell

Has no fury like a jury

Sentence me, no tears, eyes not blurry

Surely, I'mma come back with the fury

Hands in the air man, holla if ya hear me

[Chorus]:

Every time it feels my feet are too close to the edge

It's always you that pulls me right back in

And when I'm in these streets too deep and I'm drowning

It's always you that pulls me right back

It's always you that pulls me right back in

The cops wanna take away my freedom

Haters don't wanna see me in a pool

Take away the cars and the jewelry

Then I'm only here cause of you

[Chorus]:

Every time it feels my feet are too close to the edge

It's always you that pulls me right back in

And when I'm in these streets too deep and I'm drowning

It's always you that pulls me right back

It's always you that pulls me right back in
