jr specs - the edge / uncle al lyrics

[the edge]

[chorus]
living on the edge of the day, one more step
you might man up tomorrow, to hold your breath
cause it’s a long way down
yeah, it’s a long way down

[verse]
remember me in pe, skipping cracks in the sidewalk
heading home from school, probably still had the dc high tops
k!lling time till mom text me, “hustle home”
folks barely saw me, i was always chilling up the road
bouncing crib to crib, tryna find what the move is
before sammy’s nine months were up we packed the back seat on some goon sh+t
kicking it on the turf with my crush in the bleachers
pregame the first time i heard my song on the speakers
i was feeling like a giant, but sh+t, who wouldn’t?
that was way back before this dope sh+t got cooking
and by the time my pen came up i was trapped in that dorm
wishing life was a breeze, how i had it before
holed up with anxiety, pink pill, i need curse
i wish i coulda put that john deere in reverse
and never rode it home and parked it and hopped in that van
my parents dropped me off at college, i didn’t have a friend
remember walking in this sh+t be like, “this sh+t’s really happening”
wasn’t ready at all and when i came back that fall
i felt better at home, because i knew who i was
watching clouds around dusk or shooting hoops at the dub
i almost said, “f+ck school”, i was tempted
it’s crazy how some time and a little bit of friendship can help sh+t
six+four had my back when love went south
i set my brian on fire tryna figure sh+t out
i’m still trying
[chorus]
living on the edge of the day, one more step
you might man up++yeah

[uncle al]

[intro]
and i was tripping on everything and nothing
took the toxins out my head, man my head stopped suffering
been told me stop thinking, blank sp+ces
i’m all smiles, earth and the air
ain’t felt this in a long while
i’ve been addicted to the past, hit memories like a pipe
played my heart strings like harp strings for lost loves at night

[chorus]
i look up at the moon
and pray i always love this light just like i do
feel safe in the back or pray for you too
hope prayers meet someone, someone, life’s too fast
baby, that’s okay
i know kids too tired for the masquerade
i pick it up, be brave like back in the day
and get goin’

[verse]
when i close my eyes and daydream i see it like a movie
wave goodbye to everybody, hit the highway, i come visit soon
hope i find a couple thousand fans while i split the blues
hope i spread the love even when you got a different view
hope we kicked the donald out the office in a district too
and give an extra dollar to the teacher and the princ+p+l
hope i lay my eyes upon some sh+t i never see back home
i hope i find my way, i feel half grown
are we there yet?
i see red arches, cherry blossoms
valleys in j+pan between tour dates
my cameraman in 4k, rolling
they’ll make movies about this sh+t
i’ll live to cast myself, probably pick someone way more handsome than me
i’ll meet a girl along the way to make me weak in the knees
and i bet a million should believe in the dream
i know that i do, you know i put the kids on the sesame street and caillou
teach ‘em how to write, make sure that they jack my style
my son and daughter gotta know compassion and some hard work
my son and daughter gotta know perseverance and self+worth
my son and daughter gotta know both my parents and uncle al
love ‘em till the curtains close
always hold the family down
[chorus]
i look up at the moon
and pray i always love this light just like i do
feel safe in the back or pray for you too
someone, someone, life’s too fast
baby, that’s okay
i know kids too tired for the masquerade
i pick it up, be brave like back in the day
and get goin’
