{I'M NOT HIM} Nope, it's E don't trip
|
Word to Cam'Ron, man my Set stay Dipped
|
We rock Nike Airs, the flyest wears, yeah
|
We got Flavor man {"Yeahhhhhhhh BOYEEE!"}
|
{I'M NOT HIM} I'm the Music Man
|
Who gave Marvin Gaye's wife two hundred grand
|
Man, ask Quincy, I'm that dude
|
So please don't get me confused because
|
{I'M NOT HIM} Boy you in trouble
|
Guns pack a couple, a one-man SWAT team
|
By any means, pull a Malcolm
|
House 'em have 'em screamin Shelton, he {"Bring the noise!"}
|
{I'M NOT HIM} Nope, I'm the Bandit
|
That Green Eyed cat, boy from way back
|
Who set trends, the youngest nigga in rap with a Benz
|
Rag-top with rims, that was me stupid!
|
|
[Chorus x2: Erick Sermon]
|
{I'M NOT HIM} I'm not him
|
(It's E-Dub, it's not who you thought he was)
|
(He's flyer than you thought he was)
|
So I'm back to reclaim my name because
|
|
[Erick Sermon]
|
{I'M NOT HIM} I'm a 15 year vet
|
Type of rapper, 15 year stretch
|
The one who made it happen rappin
|
Got it crackin rappin, keep the paper stackin, yeah
|
{I'M NOT HIM} I'm hip-hop elite
|
The one who signed Redman, the one who signed Keith
|
The one who made the beat that locked down the corner
|
Hardcore, that's my persona, geah
|
{I'M NOT HIM} Nope, I'm the E
|
The other half of the group of EPMD
|
And my track record so mean
|
This here underground bounce so hood, fuck mainstream
|
{I'M NOT HIM} You can't get with me
|
I rock spots and leave a TLC "Unpretty"
|
And now it's "Ugly," Bubba Sparxxx scene
|
Real dirty and grimy with the Squad behind me
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Erick Sermon]
|
{I'M NOT HIM} Nope, I'm the master
|
I'm the man's man, the rapper's favorite rapper
|
The ultimate, none get close to it
|
I'm Erick, I'm the one you supposed to pick
|
{I'M NOT HIM} I keep it gutter on tracks
|
"Regulate" like Doc Dre's brother
|
I'm Warren in rap, I drop bombs to-day
|
You lay like U-day and Qu-say, yeah
|
{I'M NOT HIM} The MC Grand Royal
|
on the microphone, and New York's my home
|
Long Island zone, where I roam
|
like phones in Buffalo, geah - you know!
|
{I'M NOT HIM} Go 'head, talk about me
|
I don't care since my label dropped me
|
And I returned like Makaveli
|
In a new stretch Caddy, watchin "Belly"
|
I'm not him
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
(It's E-Dub)
|
(It's E-Dub, he's not who you thought he was)
|
{I'M NOT HIM}
|
(It's E-Dub)
|
(It's E-Dub, he's not who you thought he was)
|
{I'M NOT HIM}
|
