《Know The Ledge》歌词

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

[00:00:07] Sip the juice cuz I got enough to go around

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

[00:00:12] I grew up on the sidewalk

[00:00:14] Where I learned street talk

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

[00:00:16] I go to Queens for queens

[00:00:17] To get the crew from Brooklyn

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

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

[00:00:22] Get strong on the Island recoupe and lay around

[00:00:24] Time to bulid my juice back up

[00:00:26] Props back up suckers get smacked up

[00:00:28] Don't doubt the clout you know what I'm about

[00:00:30] Knocking niggaz off knocking niggaz out

[00:00:32] Shaking 'em up waking 'em up

[00:00:34] Raking 'em up breaking 'em up

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

[00:00:39] Let's see if I know the ledge

[00:00:49] Corners' trifling 'cause shorty's here

[00:00:51] I get cockd liffin' forty's of beer

[00:00:53] Here's a sip for the crew that's deceased

[00:00:55] If I get revenge then they rest in peace

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

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

[00:01:02] Stay alert and on ps

[00:01:03] And I do work with these like Hercules

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

[00:01:08] 'Cause I don't like fall

[00:01:09] I'm hype when night fall

[00:01:10] Smooth but I move like an army

[00:01:12] Bulletproof down in case brothers try to bomb me

[00:01:14] Putting brothers to rest like Elliot ness

[00:01:16] 'Cause I don't like stress

[00:01:18] Streets ain't a place

[00:01:19] For innocent bystanders to stand

[00:01:21] Nutting's gonna stop the plan

[00:01:22] I'll chill like Pacino kill like DeNiro

[00:01:24] Black Gambino die like a hero

[00:01:26] Living on shaky grounds too close to the edge

[00:01:29] Let's see if I know the ledge

[00:01:39] Shells lay around on the battleground

[00:01:41] Dead bodies are found throughout the town

[00:01:43] Tried to put shame in my game to

[00:01:44] Make a name I'm a

[00:01:45] Put it on a bullet put it in your brain

[00:01:47] Rip the block like a buckshot

[00:01:48] Who cares where it goes just keep the casket closed

[00:01:51] No remorse when a life is lost

[00:01:53] I paid my dues paid the cost

[00:01:56] 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 steep with one deep

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

[00:02:03] So come say hi to the badguy

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

[00:02:08] 'Cause I get loose and I got troops

[00:02:11] And crazy juice

[00:02:12] In control of many like Ayatollah Khomeini

[00:02:14] Hang out wit Smith and

[00:02:15] Wesson don't try to play me

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

[00:02:18] But no warning shot my gun is warm alot

[00:02:20] When I cook beef the smoke will never clear

[00:02:22] Areas in fear but this here's a fear

[00:02:24] Living life too close to the edge

[00:02:27] Hoping that I know the ledge

[00:02:37] A brand new morn no time to yawn

[00:02:39] Shower's on power's on

[00:02:41] Late for school I catch the train

[00:02:43] Girls sip Cristal and whisper my name

[00:02:45] I push up like an exercise

[00:02:47] Check the intellect and inspect the thighs

[00:02:49] Select the best one pull her to the side

[00:02:51] Keep her occupied for the rest of the ride

[00:02:54] Read my resume she's know I'm 'ready cool

[00:02:56] Just meet me after school

[00:02:57] We can moan and groan until your mom come home

[00:03:00] And you be calling me Al dope Capone

[00:03:02] 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

[00:03:05] 'Cause the streets await me

[00:03:07] So I take my gun off safety

[00:03:08] 'Cause alot of niggaz hate me

[00:03:10] Coming out of the building they set me up

[00:03:12] Sprayed wit automatics they wet me up

[00:03:14] In a puddle of blood I lay close to the edge

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