Lyrics for The Edge of New Clothes

Smoke a joint, chew a shroom, I ain't with the fairy dust A humanist, but I don't like new people very much Cherry nut wood, hood eyes, seen Harriet I cover up a landslide, pious, he's scarier Hideous, ain't got a tuck, chuck, doolery A nice man that lost his mind, like Chuck Woolery I'm tucked in an Amazon box, like what could it be? I strain my achilles tryna leap sure-footedly I stand when I rap, so a poor appear believable The line that cut through the bullshit that people do Yeah, make it happen like injecting progesterone I met it to cap the tone, yellin' 'til I'm left alone No, past effort wasn't wrong for the chasin' I neglected to call in replacements for all the occasions Responsible for all limitations, so I only put my name on the strongest of statements, yeah Lyin' on the edge of a cliff Watchin' everything fall down Lyin' on the edge of the world I ain't afraid of anything Lyin' on the edge of a cliff Watchin' everything fall down Lyin' on the edge of the world I ain't afraid of anything Ain't nothin' fun, just dumb and emotional I'm steady tryna separate fun from promotional I'm doin' what I'm 'posed to do, doin' what I wanna do I set myself for a move and a follow through I can see the future from the seeds and the chronicles Read yesterday just to know what tomorrow do Ninety parts choice and like three parts destiny I hate when my homies do coke and start textin' me Make your own choices, self-care and your medicine But I can see the sweat right there in the letterin' Businesses don't fight fair, it's competitive Money have you singin' nightmares in your head again Don't nobody give a fuck, just let me figure out What I ever know for sure and give a shit about Promise when I'm gone you'll pretend to remember me '94 Bulls, pay your dues and your members fees Lyin' on the edge of a cliff Watchin' everything fall down Lyin' on the edge of the world I ain't afraid of anything Lyin' on the edge of a cliff Watchin' everything fall down Lyin' on the edge of the world I ain't afraid of anything
