The Edge
Akala & Low Deep Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's something missing?
Stuck in a role, just playin' your postion
Even when you scream, it seems no one listens
Free as a bird, but it feels like prison
Never break tradition
Suttin' like it's superstition
And your marrige is about as
What you need to do is
Change the way you livin' it's your life
Don't explain your every decision
Whatever your vision
Believe and make it happen
Look at me, I'm a English rapper
It's only one life here gotta do you bruv
I feel marvelous, how about you luv?
Yeah, I feel good (Do you feel good?
Yeah, I feel good (Do you feel good?
Yeah, I feel good (Do you feel good?
Yeah, I feel good (Tell the people)
Everybody jump over the edge
Everybody let go and just feel the music
Jump over edge everybody jump over the edge
Everybody jump over the edge everybody jump!
Don't know where the edge is
I'll explain to you it's fine
It's that line or that time
When your mind just
Like your boss has been rude to
You just one too many times out at night
Might just have one too many pints
Like when you got ambition and they
Tell you you can't do it
Your body feel the music
But your scared to move to it
The edge is where you lose it, jump with me
Don't quit your job, take the low road
Spit in his tea drink til' your pathetic
Til you act like an idiot
In the morning you'll regret it
Right now it's brilliant
As far as your dreams go
You just gotta get em
And as long as the beat plays
Just move to the riddim, like
Yeah, I feel good (Do you feel good?
Yeah, I feel good (Do you feel good?
Yeah, I feel good (Do you feel good?
Yeah, I feel good (Tell the people)
Everybody jump over the edge
Everybody let go and just feel the music
Jump over edge everybody jump over the edge
Everybody jump over the edge everybody jump!
Come over the edge to infinite possibilities
Sorta like a parallel universe your visiting
But it's here on earth from
The prison to the villages
Open up your mind and you feel limitless
Don't let them tell you what is real
They don't know, realistically
They said Einstein was dumb
How come he thought of relativity?
They're just despicable
Miserable individuals
And every single syllable they
Uttering is cynical it's typical
Don't sit down waitin' on a miracle
Jump like Jordan
Like your tryna' reach the pinnacle
It's only one life here gotta do you bruv
I feel marvelous, how about you luv?
Everybody jump over the edge
Everybody let go and just feel the music
Jump over edge everybody jump over the edge
Everybody jump over the edge everybody jump!
