don t push me

De La Soul

Meanwhile, up in the cabins
Mic check, two-three, one-two, one-two, mic check, two-three

Yo, Tuesday morning, I ring upon a door
Wednesday morning, come knock a little more
Door crack open, they be like: Who is it?
Mister 86 come to pay that ass a visit
Sleet, rain, or snow, and even through the blizzard
It s the FedEx man, mush your ed-ex-man
Caught you in your curlers all interrupted
Girl, forget about your hair, you have been abducted
Hold my hand, Ms, lois Lane
The president is Black and a lot of things changed
That S on my chest is no longer an S
It s an N cause niggas is running this mess
Yeah, if I don t say it, then who will?
You won t see Obama on the five-dollar bill
I m still pissed off about Emmett Till

So don t push me cause I m close to the edge
I m trying not to lose my head
So please don t push me cause I m close to the edge
I m trying, check it out

So let her round the outside
Buffalo girl, you got round the Outback
And I ain t talking steak, so there ain t no beef
See, you could kiss on the boy, but I ll repeat, no teeth
No, thief, get your hands out my pocket
Every penny I got so she can share thoughts
That s right, she gets perched
from head work but won t see a dollar
The only ring she s seeing s around the collar
But we gon do our dirty wash together
Baby got this walk ll make a blind man whistle
Her mouth ain t a Hoover, it s more like a Bissell
Ms, invincible, the principal
Love me emotionally and physical
No gains, I ma give her my best

But don t push me cause I m close to the edge
I m trying not to lose my head
So please don t push me cause I m close to the edge
I m trying (trying)

Edge
Edge
I m trying (trying)
