[00:07.42]Sip the juice cuz I got enough to go around
[00:10.53]And the thought takes place uptown
[00:12.33]I grew up on the sidewalk
[00:14.09]Where I learned street talk
[00:14.92]And then taught to hawk New York
[00:15.97]I go to Queens for queens
[00:16.97]To get the crew from Brooklyn
[00:18.31]Make money in Manhattan and never been tooken
[00:20.22]Go Uptown and the Bronx to boogie down
[00:21.95]Get strong on the Island recoupe and lay around
[00:24.41]Time to bulid my juice back up
[00:26.42]Props back up suckers get smacked up
[00:28.15]Don't doubt the clout you know what I'm about
[00:30.72]Knocking *****z off knocking *****z out
[00:32.21]Shaking 'em up waking 'em up
[00:34.85]Raking 'em up breaking 'em up
[00:36.97]Standing on shaky grounds too close to the edge
[00:39.49]Let's see if I know the ledge
[00:49.68]Corners' trifling 'cause shorty's here
[00:51.12]I get ****d liffin' forty's of beer
[00:53.61]Here's a sip for the crew that's deceased
[00:55.23]If I get revenge then they rest in peace
[00:58.15]Somebody's got to suffer I just might spare one
[01:00.05]And give a brother a fair one
[01:02.24]Stay alert and on ps
[01:03.25]And I do work with these like Hercules
[01:05.96]Switch to southpaw split your right jaw
[01:07.91]'Cause I don't like fall
[01:09.08]I'm hype when night fall
[01:10.13]Smooth but I move like an army
[01:11.97]Bulletproof down in case brothers try to bomb me
[01:14.18]Putting brothers to rest like Elliot ness
[01:16.82]'Cause I don't like stress
[01:18.07]Streets ain't a place
[01:19.01]For innocent bystanders to stand
[01:20.94]Nutting's gonna stop the plan
[01:22.57]I'll chill like Pacino kill like DeNiro
[01:24.78]Black Gambino die like a hero
[01:26.67]Living on shaky grounds too close to the edge
[01:29.21]Let's see if I know the ledge
[01:39.64]Shells lay around on the battleground
[01:41.02]Dead bodies are found throughout the town
[01:43.03]Tried to put shame in my game to
[01:44.52]Make a name I'm a
[01:45.30]Put it on a bullet put it in your brain
[01:47.38]Rip the block like a buckshot
[01:48.44]Who cares where it goes just keep the casket closed
[01:51.38]No remorse when a life is lost
[01:53.15]I paid my dues paid the cost
[01:56.66]And my pockets are still fat
[01:57.70]Wherever I'm at I get the welcome mat
[01:59.54]Even if my crew steep with one deep
[02:01.95]I attract attention people like to peep
[02:03.43]So come say hi to the badguy
[02:05.92]Don't say goodbye I don't plan to die
[02:08.23]'Cause I get loose and I got troops
[02:11.36]And crazy juice
[02:12.53]In control of many like Ayatollah Khomeini
[02:14.42]Hang out wit Smith and
[02:15.73]Wesson don't try to play me
[02:17.40]I'm at war alot like Anwar Sadat
[02:18.69]But no warning shot my gun is warm alot
[02:20.29]When I cook beef the smoke will never clear
[02:22.43]Areas in fear but this here's a fear
[02:24.61]Living life too close to the edge
[02:27.63]Hoping that I know the ledge
[02:37.34]A brand new morn no time to yawn
[02:39.53]Shower's on power's on
[02:41.50]Late for school I catch the train
[02:43.38]Girls sip Cristal and whisper my name
[02:45.86]I push up like an exercise
[02:47.27]Check the intellect and inspect the thighs
[02:49.52]Select the best one pull her to the side
[02:51.12]Keep her occupied for the rest of the ride
[02:53.97]Read my resume she's know I'm 'ready cool
[02:56.56]Just meet me after school
[02:57.81]We can moan and groan until your mom come home
[03:00.50]And you be calling me Al **** Capone
[03:02.13]Sweatin' me she didn't want to let me loose
[03:03.89]Come get me that's if you want to sip the juice
[03:05.81]'Cause the streets await me
[03:07.18]So I take my gun off safety
[03:08.67]'Cause alot of *****z hate me
[03:10.31]Coming out of the building they set me up
[03:12.27]Sprayed wit automatics they wet me up
[03:14.18]In a puddle of blood I lay close to the edge
[03:17.29]I guess I didn't know the ledge
