Edge of My Life (Instrumental) Lyrics


[Verse 1:]
Last dollar just got spent
First of the month comes
Got to pay rent
Where'd the money go
Slipping through my hands
I'm working with these hands
Little Johnny needs a lunch box
Little Susy needs clothes & it won't stop
Banks calling us up
And they don't care
It's more then I can bare[Pre-Chorus x2:]
I gotta, gotta believe
I can more then survive
Still one trick up my sleeve
We're gonna make this one shine[Chorus:]
I... I'm at the edge of my life
I got no time to think twice

When I'm standing with the weight
Of the world on my shoulders
I... I'm gonna fight the good fight
Cause i, I know I'll get by
When I battle every day through the pain
Like a soldier[Verse 2:]
Mom crying on the sofa
Dad comes home but he's not sober
Where'd the family go
Up in smoke again
Feels just like sinking sand
Heard shouts in the backyard (hey)
Sirens ringing from a cop car
It's a rough day
For this family man
I'm praying with these hands[Pre-Chorus x2:]
I gotta, gotta believe
I can more then survive
Still one trick up my sleeve
We're gonna make this one shine[Chorus:]
I... I'm at the edge of my life
I got no time to think twice
When I'm standing with the weight
Of the world on my shoulders
I... I'm gonna fight the good fight
Cause I, I know I'll get by
When I battle every day through the pain
Like a soldier[Bridge:]
Just don't look down
And you'll never fall[Chorus:]
I gotta, gotta believe
I can more then survive
Still one trick up my sleeve
We're gonna make this one shine
I gotta, gotta believe
I can more then survive
Still one trick up my sleeve

Chris Greenwood (best known as Manafest) is a rapper from Toronto Ontario Canada.

He is also a skater, which led to his career in hip hop; after an accident in 1998, he took time to focus on rap and was noticed by Trevor McNevan of Ontario-based band Thousand Foot Krutch. This led to his signing to an internationally distributed label, BEC Recordings, and debut release Epiphany, which was made primarily of West Coast hip hop with several rapcore outings in the vein of Limp Bizkit.

He released two independent albums, Mislead Youth (2001) and My Own Thing (2003), prior to Epiphany in 2005. He has toured in Canada, the United States and Ireland to date.

His second album, Glory, emphasized rap-rock elements with more Linkin Park-esque nu metal, and included more authentic hip hop stylings.

Central themes of Manafest's music include nonconformity, hip hop culture, and walking with God.

Manafest says in regards to Glory that: "I wanted to allow all of my influences show on Glory. Musically, I wanted to blend the appeal of Linkin Park, Sum 41, and The Beastie Boys. Vocally, I wanted to merge that with popular hip hop à la Eminem and Kanye West. But beyond musical influence, I wanted to reflect on the issues around me in the most positive way possible. And whether I am talking about the loss of loved ones and abuse, or breakdancing and skate culture, it's all for the glory of heaven. In the end, my prayer is that people would not simply bob their heads to this, but feel a very real sense of healing from the words. However, this record is not all serious. Some of my favorite tracks are the most lighthearted ones."
