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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:04] 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 y'all I'm hype when night fall

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:12] And crazy juice

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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