Juice movie - Juice (Know the Ledge) lyrics

rate me

Song by Eric B and Rakim<br /><br>

Sip the juice cuz I got enough to go around,<br>

And the thought takes place uptown<br>

I grew up on the sidewalk where I learned street talk,<br>

And then taught to hawk New York-<br>

I go to Queens for queens to get the crew from Brooklyn,<br>

Make money in Manhattan and never been tooken,<br>

Go Uptown and the Bronx to boogie down,<br>

Get strong on the Island, recoupe, and lay around.<br>

Time to bulid my juice back up-<br>

Props back up, suckers get smacked up<br>

Don't doubt the clout, you know what I'm about<br>

Knocking niggaz off, knocking niggaz out<br>

Shaking em up, waking em up<br>

Raking em up, breaking em up...<br>

Standing on shaky grounds too close to the edge<br>

Let's see if I know the ledge<br>

<br>

Corners' trifling 'cause shorty's here<br>

I get cock-d liffin' forty's of beer;<br>

Here's a sip for the crew that's deceased,<br>

If I get revenge, then they rest in peace.<br>

<br>

Somebody's got to suffer, I just might spare one-<br>

And give a brother a fair one!<br>

Stay alert and on "p's".<br>

And I do work with these- like Hercules,<br>

Switch to southpaw, split your right jaw<br>

'Cause I don't like y'all, I'm hype when night fall.<br>

Smooth but I move like an army<br>

Bulletproof down in case brothers try to bomb me,<br>

Putting brothers to rest like Elliot ness<br>

'Cause I don't like stress<br>

Streets ain't a place for innocent bystanders to stand<br>

Nutting's gonna stop the plan<br>

I'll chill like Pacino, kill like DeNiro<br>

Black Gambino, die like a hero<br>

Living on shaky grounds too close to the edge<br>

Let's see if I know the ledge!<br>

<br>

Shells lay around on the battleground<br>

Dead bodies are found throughout the town.<br>

Tried to put shame in my game to make a name, I'm a<br>

Put it on a bullet, put it in your brain.<br>

Rip the block like a buckshot,<br>

Who cares where it goes, just keep the casket closed,<br>

No remorse when a life is lost<br>

I paid my dues- paid the cost!<br>

...And my pockets are still fat,<br>

Wherever I'm at, I get the welcome mat.<br>

Even if my crew steep with one deep<br>

I attract attention, people like to peep<br>

So come say hi to the badguy<br>

Don't say goodbye, I don't plan to die!<br>

'Cause I get loose and I got troops<br>

And crazy juice!<br>

In control of many like Ayatollah Khomeini<br>

Hang out wit Smith and Wesson, don't try to play me.<br>

I'm at war alot, like Anwar Sadat..<br>

But no warning shot, my gun is warm alot.<br>

When I cook beef, the smoke will never clear,<br>

Areas in fear but this here's a fear!<br>

Living life too close to the edge<br>

Hoping that I know the ledge....<br>

<br>

A brand new morn, no time to yawn<br>

Shower's on, power's on<br>

Late for school, I catch the train<br>

Girls sip "Cristal" and whisper my name<br>

I push up like an exercise,<br>

Check the intellect and inspect the thighs<br>

Select the best one, pull her to the side <br>

Keep her occupied for the rest of the ride <br>

Read my resume she's know I'm 'ready cool <br>

Just meet me after school,<br>

We can moan and groan until your mom come home , <br>

And you be calling me Al "dope" Capone.<br>

Sweatin' me, she didn't want to let me loose-<br>

Come get me, that's if you want to sip the juice<br>

Cause the streets await me, so I take my gun off safety<br>

Cause alot of niggaz hate me<br>

Coming out of the building, they set me up<br>

Sprayed wit automatics, they wet me up<br>

In a puddle of blood, I lay close to the edge<br>

I guess I didn't know the ledge....<br>

<br>
