on the cusp ('98)

On the cusp like I'm off the cuff Salt in the cut, nostalgic angel dust Perfect never good enough Perfect, never good enough Twenty-three for me is more like seventeen And if we're being real, only six times two with my maturity Growing up is a fever dream The second coming of age has me feeling like I'm on the wrong page Convex turned concave Myers-Briggs caught me on the wrong day I feel kinda off, like I'm outta key Is this just another version of me Puttin' on a front, who I gotta be Fake it 'til you make it is the mantra In a dog eat dog world I'm the entree Queasy off some leftover lasagna Can't stomach small talk, if I'm being honest On the cusp like I'm off the cuff Salt in the cut, nostalgic angel dust Perfect never good enough Perfect, never good enough Shift the paradigm, I'm scared of heights Never afraid to die, today Not giving a f*ck and they call that degenerate Why should I care to bless you with my time or presence Informed by data from the census Facts and figures only serve to cement it Details matter, does that make me demented Make believe, guess we're all a bit vague and deceptive Everyone I like is not around It's like Everyone I like is looking down Their nose, at me Even though I'm taller No more bball, still ballin' I ain't shooting, I'm a shot caller Probability of cannon fodder Guess that's why I'm just an option but it's whatever I'm such a bother so why bother Please don't bother, I'm the problem On the cusp like I'm off the cuff Salt in the cut, nostalgic angel dust Perfect never good enough Perfect, never good enough Flip the script cause I'm so descriptive, I'm so explicit, not for the bitches Flipped off all my commitments, emotions unavailable - availability makes it expensive And I rep what my pen says Don't talk much (shh) so if I said it I meant it Impact doesn't always measure up to the intent Face it, perhaps either way you haven't made an indent Only thing I'm playing is cards, index Reality augmented, the truth lies in the argument Pull off the biggest upset On the cusp baby, I set the precedent
