歌曲歌詞
Sip the juice cuz I got enough to go around
And the thought takes place uptown
I grew up on the sidewalk
Where I learned street talk
And then taught to hawk New York
I go to Queens for queens
To get the crew from Brooklyn
Make money in Manhattan and never been tooken
Go Uptown and the Bronx to boogie down
Get strong on the Island recoupe and lay around
Time to bulid my juice back up
Props back up suckers get smacked up
Don't doubt the clout you know what I'm about
Knocking *****z off knocking *****z out
Shaking 'em up waking 'em up
Raking 'em up breaking 'em up
Standing on shaky grounds too close to the edge
Let's see if I know the ledge
Corners' trifling 'cause shorty's here
I get ****d liffin' forty's of beer
Here's a sip for the crew that's deceased
If I get revenge then they rest in peace
Somebody's got to suffer I just might spare one
And give a brother a fair one
Stay alert and on ps
And I do work with these like Hercules
Switch to southpaw split your right jaw
'Cause I don't like fall
I'm hype when night fall
Smooth but I move like an army
Bulletproof down in case brothers try to bomb me
Putting brothers to rest like Elliot ness
'Cause I don't like stress
Streets ain't a place
For innocent bystanders to stand
Nutting's gonna stop the plan
I'll chill like Pacino kill like DeNiro
Black Gambino die like a hero
Living on shaky grounds too close to the edge
Let's see if I know the ledge
Shells lay around on the battleground
Dead bodies are found throughout the town
Tried to put shame in my game to
Make a name I'm a
Put it on a bullet put it in your brain
Rip the block like a buckshot
Who cares where it goes just keep the casket closed
No remorse when a life is lost
I paid my dues paid the cost
And my pockets are still fat
Wherever I'm at I get the welcome mat
Even if my crew steep with one deep
I attract attention people like to peep
So come say hi to the badguy
Don't say goodbye I don't plan to die
'Cause I get loose and I got troops
And crazy juice
In control of many like Ayatollah Khomeini
Hang out wit Smith and
Wesson don't try to play me
I'm at war alot like Anwar Sadat
But no warning shot my gun is warm alot
When I cook beef the smoke will never clear
Areas in fear but this here's a fear
Living life too close to the edge
Hoping that I know the ledge
A brand new morn no time to yawn
Shower's on power's on
Late for school I catch the train
Girls sip Cristal and whisper my name
I push up like an exercise
Check the intellect and inspect the thighs
Select the best one pull her to the side
Keep her occupied for the rest of the ride
Read my resume she's know I'm 'ready cool
Just meet me after school
We can moan and groan until your mom come home
And you be calling me Al **** Capone
Sweatin' me she didn't want to let me loose
Come get me that's if you want to sip the juice
'Cause the streets await me
So I take my gun off safety
'Cause alot of *****z hate me
Coming out of the building they set me up
Sprayed wit automatics they wet me up
In a puddle of blood I lay close to the edge
I guess I didn't know the ledge
