[00:02.79]Lyrics by:William Griffin/Eric Barrier
[00:05.58]Composed by:William Griffin/Eric Barrier
[00:08.37]Sip the juice
[00:09.36]I got enough to go around
[00:11.06]And the thought takes place uptown
[00:13.24]I grew up on the sidewalk where I learned street talk
[00:15.51]And then taught to hawk New York
[00:17.03]I go to queens for queens to get the crew from brooklyn
[00:19.29]Make money in manhattan and never been tooken
[00:21.07]Go uptown and the bronx to boogie down
[00:23.23]Get strong on the island recoup and lay around
[00:25.72]Time to build my juice back up
[00:27.65]Props back up suckers get smacked up
[00:29.64]Don't doubt the clout you know what I'm about
[00:31.94]Knocking n***as off knocking n***as out
[00:33.68]Shaking 'em up waking 'em up
[00:35.32]Raking 'em up breaking 'em up
[00:38.22]Standing on shaky grounds too close to the edge
[00:40.68]Let's see if I know the ledge
[00:50.54]Corners trifling 'cause shorty's here
[00:52.22]I get cock d liffin' forty's of beer
[00:54.61]Here's a sip for the crew that's deceased
[00:56.50]If I get revenge then they rest in peace
[00:59.15]Somebody's got to suffer I just might spare one
[01:01.50]And give a brother a fair one
[01:03.27]Stay alert and on p's
[01:04.33]And I do work with these like hercules
[01:07.09]Switch to southpaw split your right jaw
[01:08.88]'Cause I don't like y'all I'm hype when night fall
[01:11.55]Smooth but I move like an army
[01:13.23]Bulletproof down in case brothers try to bomb me
[01:15.65]Putting brothers to rest like elliot ness
[01:18.05]'Cause I don't like stress
[01:19.31]Streets ain't a place for innocent bystanders to stand
[01:21.98]Nutting's gonna stop the plan
[01:23.49]I'll chill like pacino kill like deniro
[01:25.61]Black gambino die like a hero
[01:27.55]Living on shaky grounds too close to the edge
[01:30.17]Let's see if I know the ledge
[01:40.52]Shells lay around on the battleground
[01:42.28]Dead bodies are found throughout the town
[01:44.13]Tried to put shame in my game to make a name
[01:46.35]Imma put it on a bullet put it in your brain
[01:48.54]Rip the block like a buckshot
[01:49.88]Who cares where it goes just keep the casket closed
[01:52.72]No r'emorse when a life is lost
[01:54.52]I paid my dues paid the cost
[01:57.48]And my pockets are still fat
[01:58.80]Wherever I'm at I get the welcome mat
[02:01.14]Even if my crew steep with one deep
[02:02.86]I attract attention people like to peep
[02:05.32]So come say hi to the badguy
[02:07.22]Don't say goodbye I don't plan to die
[02:09.63]'Cause I get loose and I got troops
[02:12.24]And crazy juice
[02:13.20]In control of many like ayatollah khomeini
[02:15.68]Hang out wit smith and wesson don't try to play me
[02:18.03]I'm at war alot like anwar sadat
[02:19.44]But no warning shot my gun is warm alot
[02:21.61]When I cook beef the smoke will never clear
[02:23.54]Areas in fear but this here's a fear
[02:25.69]Living life too close to the edge
[02:28.49]Hoping that I know the ledge
[02:38.23]A brand new morn no time to yawn
[02:40.37]Showers on powers on
[02:42.51]Late for school I catch the train
[02:44.52]Girls sip cristal and whisper my name
[02:46.85]I push up like an exercise
[02:48.59]Check the intellect and inspect the thighs
[02:50.66]Select the best one pull her to the side
[02:52.67]Keep her occupied for the rest of the ride
[02:54.92]Read my resume she's know I'm ready cool
[02:57.36]Just meet me after school
[02:58.80]We can moan and groan until your mom come home
[03:01.48]And you be calling me al d**e capone
[03:03.14]Sweatin' me she didn't want to let me loose
[03:04.99]Come get me that's if you want to sip the juice
[03:07.17]'Cause the streets await me so I take my gun off safety
[03:09.57]'Cause alot of n***as hate me
[03:11.26]Coming out of the building they set me up
[03:13.28]Sprayed wit automatics they wet me up
[03:15.40]In a puddle of blood I lay close to the edge
[03:18.10]I guess I didn't know the ledge
