[Erick Sermon]

EPMD.. Def Jam.. blazin..

Check it uh huh YO

It's E Dub on the microphone

My style be Elektra I'm the male Syl Rhome

Homes walk around with forty four chrome

on safety spike the mic in the endzone

This here ain't the average shit you used to

Front and automatic rounds will shoot you

So knock it off like Biggie Smalls said Duke you soft

Why you wanna fuck with the boss?

[Parrish Smith]

Where should I start? Breakin MC's or shatterin charts?

It's Diablo, PMD Mic Doc with the purple heart

The go-getter, getter, get wit 'er, hit 'er-split 'er

Front and back, and if she wit it, straight in the shitter

So heidi heidi heidi hydro, pack gats and ammo

+Funky Piano+, van like the fuckin ?tano?

with more cheese than Lambeau, more heat than Rambo

Break down dismantle when I scramble

Chorus: Erick Sermon (Parrish Smith) *repeat 2X*

I just get down, and I go for mines

Say check 1, 2 -- and run down the line

(Inclined to shine) with techs and (forty-four mags and nines)

Don't get too close because you might get shot

[Erick Sermon]

Uhh, yo, ey, and yo

EPMD, fuckin with us is bad news

Me and you got different views

What you might say is dope, I say's not

What I might call wack, you'll call hot

The best thing for you, is to think and hope

or get choked, and hung with +The Velvet Rope+

Cause you too theatrical, mess around

and end up smackin you, jackin you, attackin you

[Parrish Smith]

That's why it's crucial, so stay neutral to collect the cash

double beaucoup, just rippin up mics, is what my crew do

Whatever suits you, pull out the burne
