Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作词 : B., Rakim
[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 niggaz off knocking niggaz 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 cockd 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 dope 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 niggaz 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
