Know The Ledge - Eric B. & Rakim[00:00:00]
Sip the juice cuz I got enough to go around[00:00:07]
And the thought takes place uptown[00:00:10]
I grew up on the sidewalk[00:00:12]
Where I learned street talk[00:00:14]
And then taught to hawk New York[00:00:15]
I go to Queens for queens[00:00:16]
To get the crew from Brooklyn[00:00:17]
Make money in Manhattan and never been tooken[00:00:18]
Go Uptown and the Bronx to boogie down[00:00:20]
Get strong on the Island recoupe and lay around[00:00:22]
Time to bulid my juice back up[00:00:24]
Props back up suckers get smacked up[00:00:26]
Don't doubt the clout you know what I'm about[00:00:28]
Knocking niggaz off knocking niggaz out[00:00:30]
Shaking 'em up waking 'em up[00:00:32]
Raking 'em up breaking 'em up[00:00:34]
Standing on shaky grounds too close to the edge[00:00:37]
Let's see if I know the ledge[00:00:39]
Corners' trifling 'cause shorty's here[00:00:49]
I get cockd liffin' forty's of beer[00:00:51]
Here's a sip for the crew that's deceased[00:00:53]
If I get revenge then they rest in peace[00:00:55]
Somebody's got to suffer I just might spare one[00:00:58]
And give a brother a fair one[00:01:00]
Stay alert and on ps[00:01:02]
And I do work with these like Hercules[00:01:03]
Switch to southpaw split your right jaw[00:01:06]
'Cause I don't like fall[00:01:08]
I'm hype when night fall[00:01:09]
Smooth but I move like an army[00:01:10]
Bulletproof down in case brothers try to bomb me[00:01:12]
Putting brothers to rest like Elliot ness[00:01:14]
'Cause I don't like stress[00:01:16]
Streets ain't a place[00:01:18]
For innocent bystanders to stand[00:01:19]
Nutting's gonna stop the plan[00:01:21]
I'll chill like Pacino kill like DeNiro[00:01:22]
Black Gambino die like a hero[00:01:24]
Living on shaky grounds too close to the edge[00:01:26]
Let's see if I know the ledge[00:01:29]
Shells lay around on the battleground[00:01:39]
Dead bodies are found throughout the town[00:01:41]
Tried to put shame in my game to[00:01:43]
Make a name I'm a[00:01:44]
Put it on a bullet put it in your brain[00:01:45]
Rip the block like a buckshot[00:01:47]
Who cares where it goes just keep the casket closed[00:01:48]
No remorse when a life is lost[00:01:51]
I paid my dues paid the cost[00:01:53]
And my pockets are still fat[00:01:56]
Wherever I'm at I get the welcome mat[00:01:57]
Even if my crew steep with one deep[00:01:59]
I attract attention people like to peep[00:02:02]
So come say hi to the badguy[00:02:03]
Don't say goodbye I don't plan to die[00:02:06]
'Cause I get loose and I got troops[00:02:08]
And crazy juice[00:02:11]
In control of many like Ayatollah Khomeini[00:02:12]
Hang out wit Smith and[00:02:14]
Wesson don't try to play me[00:02:15]
I'm at war alot like Anwar Sadat[00:02:17]
But no warning shot my gun is warm alot[00:02:18]
When I cook beef the smoke will never clear[00:02:20]
Areas in fear but this here's a fear[00:02:22]
Living life too close to the edge[00:02:24]
Hoping that I know the ledge[00:02:27]
A brand new morn no time to yawn[00:02:37]
Shower's on power's on[00:02:39]
Late for school I catch the train[00:02:41]
Girls sip Cristal and whisper my name[00:02:43]
I push up like an exercise[00:02:45]
Check the intellect and inspect the thighs[00:02:47]
Select the best one pull her to the side[00:02:49]
Keep her occupied for the rest of the ride[00:02:51]
Read my resume she's know I'm 'ready cool[00:02:54]
Just meet me after school[00:02:56]
We can moan and groan until your mom come home[00:02:57]
And you be calling me Al dope Capone[00:03:00]
Sweatin' me she didn't want to let me loose[00:03:02]
Come get me that's if you want to sip the juice[00:03:03]
'Cause the streets await me[00:03:05]
So I take my gun off safety[00:03:07]
'Cause alot of niggaz hate me[00:03:08]
Coming out of the building they set me up[00:03:10]
Sprayed wit automatics they wet me up[00:03:12]
In a puddle of blood I lay close to the edge[00:03:14]
I guess I didn't know the ledge[00:03:17]
