Know The Ledge - Eric B. & Rakim[00:00:00]

Written by：William Griffin/Eric Barrier[00:00:01]

Sip the juice 'cause I got enough to go around[00:00:08]

And the thought takes place uptown[00:00:10]

I grew up on the sidewalk where I learned street talk[00:00:12]

And then taught to hawk New York[00:00:15]

I go to Queens for queens to get the crew from Brooklyn[00:00:16]

Make money in Manhattan and never been tooken[00:00:18]

Go Uptown to the Bronx to boogie down[00:00:20]

Get strong on the Island recoup and lay around[00:00:23]

Time to build my juice back up[00:00:25]

Props stack up suckers get smacked up[00:00:27]

Don't doubt the clout you know what I'm about[00:00:29]

Knocking niggas off knocking niggas out[00:00:31]

Shaking 'em up waking 'em up[00:00:33]

Raking 'em up breaking 'em up[00:00:35]

Standing on shaky ground too close to the edge[00:00:37]

Let's see if I know the ledge[00:00:40]

Corner is trifling cause shorty is here[00:00:50]

I get cock-D lifting forties of beer[00:00:52]

Here's a sip for the crew that's deceased[00:00:54]

If I get revenge then they rest in peace[00:00:56]

Somebody's got to suffer I just might spare one[00:00:58]

And give a brother a fair one[00:01:01]

Stay alert and on P's[00:01:02]

And I do work with these like Hercules[00:01:04]

Switch to southpaw split your right jaw[00:01:06]

Cause I don't like y'all I'm hype when night fall[00:01:08]

Smooth but I move like an army[00:01:11]

Bulletproof down in case brothers try to bomb me[00:01:13]

Putting brothers to rest like Elliot Ness[00:01:15]

Cause I don't like stress[00:01:17]

Streets ain't a place for innocent bystanders to stand[00:01:19]

Nothing's gonna stop the plan[00:01:21]

I'll chill like Pacino kill like DeNiro[00:01:23]

Black Gambino die like a hero[00:01:25]

Living on shaky ground too close to the edge[00:01:27]

Let's see if I know the ledge[00:01:30]

Shells lay around on the battleground[00:01:40]

Dead bodies are found throughout the town[00:01:42]

Tried to put shame in my game to make a name[00:01:44]

I'ma put it on a bullet put it in your brain[00:01:46]

Rip the block like a buckshot[00:01:48]

Who cares where it goes just keep the casket closed[00:01:49]

No remorse when a life is lost[00:01:52]

I paid my dues paid the cost[00:01:54]

And my pockets are still fat[00:01:57]

Wherever I'm at I get the welcome mat[00:01:59]

Even if my crew asleep and I'm one deep[00:02:00]

I attract attention people like to peep[00:02:02]

So come say hi to the bad guy[00:02:04]

Don't say goodbye I don't plan to die[00:02:06]

Cause I get loose and I got troops[00:02:09]

And crazy juice[00:02:12]

In control of many like Ayatollah Khomeini[00:02:13]

Hang out with Smith and Wesson don't try to play me[00:02:15]

I'm at war a lot like Anwar Sadat[00:02:17]

But no warning shot my gun is warm a lot[00:02:19]

When I cook beef the smoke will never clear[00:02:21]

Areas in fear but this here's severe[00:02:23]

Living life too close to the edge[00:02:25]

Hoping that I know the ledge[00:02:28]

A brand new morn no time to yawn[00:02:38]

Shower's on power's on[00:02:40]

Late for school I catch the train[00:02:42]

Girls sip the style and whisper my name[00:02:44]

I push up like an exercise[00:02:46]

Check the intellect and inspect the thighs[00:02:48]

Select the best one pull her to the side[00:02:50]

Keep her occupied for the rest of the ride[00:02:52]

Read her my resume she's knows already cool[00:02:54]

Just meet me after school[00:02:57]

We can moan and groan until your moms come home[00:02:58]

And you'll be calling me Al D**e Capone[00:03:01]

Sweatin' me she didn't want to let me loose[00:03:03]

Come get me that's if you want to sip the juice[00:03:04]

Cause the streets await me so I take my gun off safety[00:03:06]

Cause a lot of niggas hate me[00:03:09]

Coming out of the building they set me up[00:03:11]

Sprayed with automatics they wet me up[00:03:13]

In a puddle of blood I lay close to the edge[00:03:15]

I guess I didn't know the ledge[00:03:17]
