Akala – The Edge Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
- Do you never feel like 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 boring as a politician
- Now listen, 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?
Niara
- 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 let go and just feel the music,
- Jump over edge,
- Everybody jump over the edge,
- Everybody jump over the edge,

Verse 2
- 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

Verse 3
- 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?
