* versions on "Greatest Hits" differ from the original recordings

[Erick Sermon]

The employees of the year yeah we back to work

I took time off while other rappers got jerked

Due to the fact that they wack in their track

Have to go back and stack 'cause they lack

The ingredients... EPMD and Scratch for that...

*DJ Scratch cuts and scratches*

Yo I'm the hip hopper plus the show shocker

Down with MD, yes the Microphone Doctor

One wrecks, the other destroys

And if you think you ready to mess (kill the noise)

We don't play when it's time to slay

I get a cut from my homey, yo, then I lay

back and mack and all the rhymes I pack

And wait for a sucker to jump and then attack

[Parrish Smith]

Well, I'm known to be the master in the MC field

No respect in eighty-seven, eighty-eight you kneel

Cause I produce and get loose, when it's time to perform

Wax a sucker like Mop & Glow (that's word bond)

Back a second time, but on a different assignment

to do a sucker new jack, who needs a rappin alignment

Cause I'm the cream of the crop, when it's time to do a show

Girlies on my jock for my dope intro

As I glance at E-Double, king microphone wrecker

Turn on my cordless, sayin mic checka

to the ladies... and all partygoers

Some call me P, and others slow flower

Brothers on my jock, for the way I hold a piece of steel

So what you sayin?

So what you sayin?

[Erick Sermon]

Puttin heads to bed, straight out the box

MC's, are jumpin out shoes and socks

I'm not playin, understand what I'm sayin

Catch a sucker in my way, and I'm slayin

Takin no shorts, showin vital signs

You
