Close To The Edge Chords by Jelly Roll

[Intro]
 
Em
                                
There's only so much pressure a 
Em                  Em
man can take before he just snaps
    Em
And perhaps
Em
I've reached that level of pressure
Em Am Em Em Am
 
[Verse]
 
Em
Ever since my record was spinning
     Em
Everybody calling me with a freaking opinion
        Em
Tell me where was your opinion

 when we wasn't winning
     Em
When we was losing in the bottom of 

the 9th inning
Em
These streets is getting crazy, 

it's kill or be killed
          Em
They said this mixtape will 

never top deal or no deal
    Em
Yea I freak with Lil Wyte but 

I don't be in that man's face
  Em
I spend a lot of time building 

my own freaking fan base
Em
They want the old Jelly back, 

how much can this man take
Em
Before I go postal and just 

flip like a pancake
Em
And every verse is hard now,

 they say that it's incredible
    Em
But I'm the same me, bench, 

don't put me on no pedestal
Em
Smile on my face, but 

I feel I'm going crazy
  Em
I was doing better when 

I ticked off my baby
Em
I remember CCA, 

I was sitting in H unit
Em
All I wanna do is 

come home and make music
 
[Chorus]
 
                         Em   
I think I'm close to the edge 
                     Am
(kill or be killed)
                         Em  
I think I'm close to the edge 
                Em
(DJ scratching)
                         Em   
I think I'm close to the edge 
                   Em  Am
( DJ scratching)
                         Em    Am      
I think I'm close to the edge, I think 
                Em
I'm close to the edge  
 
[Verse]
 
Em
A lot of people talking, 

I hear a lot things
     Em
Some people want me to sing, 

some people want me to scream
     Em
Some people say they want to

bring the street crap back
      Em      E                
Ain't no glory in the fact that 
             Em  Em
I keep this trap
 
Yea I pieced that pack, 

get caught and tell crap
    Em
You better believe that 

I ain't been in the cell bench
    Em
Yea I go and grab

 my pistol before 

I put my pants on
    Em
And I promise one thing, 

I'll never make a dance song
Em
See I don't the Dougie and 

I don't crack the Soulja Boy
Em
I'm the captain of the 

ship that's going overboard
Em
Radio won't play it 'cause 

I'm cussing too much
     Em
Well crap dang expletive tramp 

bench go on freak
 
[Chorus]
 
                         Em  
I think I'm close to the edge 
                Am
(DJ scracthing)
                         Em      Em
I think I'm close to the edge
                         Em       Em
I think I'm close to the edge
                         Em            
I think I'm close to the edge, I think 
                      Em
I'm close to the edge 
 
[Verse]
 
Em
Yea, they say I'm barely nice right
Em
Right? Shout out to Sonny Paradise, sike
Em
Now they wanna call 'cause

 I run the county
     Em
Back then I swear they ain't give a 

freak about me
Em
Tell me calm down, 

man it's just entertainment
          Em
I'm just sayin that 

I ain't even wanna be famous
  Em
I did this for Worm, 

I did this for Strug
    Em
Yet I did this 'cause 

I kind of still own the plug
Em
Wish I could work it off then 

go back to serving
        Em
I would never rap again, 

man freak these verses
     Em
They tell me calm down 

'cause they know that I'm spiritual
    Em
I'm spiritual, so every single night 

I pray for miracles
Em
These rappers aren't lyrical, 

They just throw subliminals
Em
They ain't been to jail before, 

They are not criminals
Em
My position's biblical,Sick of 

all this ridicule
      Em
Their buzzes are miniscule, 

They just tone to intervals
 
[Chorus]
 
                         Em   
I think I'm close to the edge 
    Am
(DJ scratching)
                         Em    Em
I think I'm close to the edge
                         Em     Em
I think I'm close to the edge
                         Em      C   Em
I think I'm close to the edge
                         Em       Em
I think I'm close to the edge
 
[Outro]
