|
Knick knack patty whack give a dog a bone
|
Yo, don't give him nothing but a microphone
|
Don't stop, I'm not finished yet
|
You said I'm not the E, you wanna make a bet?
|
Remember this: Lounge, you in the danger zone
|
I figured you would, now leave me alone
|
You pick and you wish on a four-leaf clover
|
To be the E double E over and over
|
You're intrigued by the way I do my thing
|
(Do what?) Pick up the mic high and make it swing
|
|
[PMD]
|
I have the capability to rap and chill
|
Cold wax and tax MC's who tend to act ill
|
It's like a Diggum Smack
|
Smack me and I'll smack you back
|
I get goosebumps when the bassline thumps
|
A sucker MC arrives, now it's time for lunch
|
When I'm cooling on the scene, I notice one thing
|
I'm not Bounce, so sucker MC's cling
|
I consider myself better than average
|
Yo, I rock the mic like a wild beast savage
|
|
[Erick Sermon]
|
I'm in the bottling state, I can't concentrate
|
I make a move like chess, and then I yell "checkmate"
|
You know why I get zanier and zanier?
|
Because of EPMD mania
|
When I walk through the crowd I can see heads turning
|
I hear voices saying "That's Erick Sermon"
|
Not only from the women, but from the men
|
You know what? It feels good, my friend
|
|
[PMD]
|
I'm the P double E, the Thrilla of Manilla
|
Better known as the MC cold killer
|
PMD cold keeps the place jumping
|
And if not then we feel like we owe you something
|
Like lotto, you have to be in it to win it
|
But if the beat is fresh then Diamond J will spin it
|
If J spin it, then it has to be fresh
|
To make you dance until there's no one left
|
|
Cause you a customer
|
|
[Erick Sermon]
|
Praying like a prey when the fox in action
|
I smell blood, no time for maxing
|
Camoflauge in the green, my back is arc
|
Plus you in trouble cause it's after dark
|
My eyes close like Steve Austin, I got you in the square
|
I won't let you run, nah, that ain't fair
|
So I clear my visions until I can spot him
|
Snatch him by the neck and say "Hmmm I got him"
|
|
[PMD]
|
Whenever MC's, you're in over your head
|
My rhymes are hungry plus they haven't been fed
|
The process of elimination is quite simple
|
Let you grow like a blackhead and pop you like a pimple
|
Slice you like lettuce, toss you like a salad
|
Revoke your MC license if your rhymes ain't valid
|
As we go on, sucker MC's sound wacker
|
Like a parrot says "Polly want a cracker"
|
|
[Erick Sermon]
|
It was a record test, nothing we can't handle
|
At the house they had the mics on the mantle
|
Looked at the DJ and said "May I?"
|
Lit it up like the Fourth of July
|
Because I float like a butterfly, sting like a bee
|
Woah, I'm the E of EPMD
|
I have a strong point of view on the way things run
|
Just shut up and listen and learn my son
|
|
[PMD]
|
Absorb that ass like Bounty, the quicker picker upper
|
To tell you up front, you're nothing but a sucker
|
The style we're using, no doubt copastetic
|
You try to bite and yet sound pathetic
|
Design my rhymes like a taylor, floatin' like a sailor
|
As the P gets stronger, MC's get staler
|
Not bragging or protagging, surely not fagging
|
MC's surrender, raise the flags and
|
Give up the titles because the signs are vital
|
I keep a voice tuned at a slow and swift idle
|
|
You a customer
|
|
[Erick Sermon]
|
I need a man meal sandwich, yes I need Manwich
|
I feel good, now it's time to do damage
|
I feel like balanced, you know what I mean?
|
Wanna rhyme one time, to release the steam
|
When I grab the mic I get dramatic like an actor
|
You know why I get over? I'm the master
|
I do a show, pack it in til it's clamming up
|
Look for the microphone then jam it up
|
|
[PMD]
|
You said you see me jamming in New York Tech
|
You got one right fella, you deserve a check
|
How did you know, you must have been jocking
|
How do you know the places I be rocking?
|
Don't follow me fella, every move that I make
|
I'm hostile now so I'll give you a break
|
Well search upon me but don't go past the limit
|
Here's a card and on the back is my fan club digits
|
|
[Erick Sermon]
|
There's two things to check out in the words that I'm saying
|
