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