Verse one: erick sermon
I make a million buck
Every six months and yand'all
Hating my game saying my name they call
Me the e wrong things
Knowing im fly without wings
While some of yand'all have to pull strings.
In this era i maintain the freak upon the beats
Master basslines of raphael saadiq
Lyrical mastermind a genius so dont snooze
No missions impossible ask tom cruise
I keep a joint lit when i have to spit
I rough paragraph, laugh when iand'm busting yoand' ass, who want it?
Come and see me, like 112
And iand'll rock that bell with fox and l
E-dub, mr excitement, right
The poltergeist of rap so come to the light.
Yes, the recipient of this award goes to moi,
The best qualified superstar.
Chorus: epmd
Erick: my squad stays on point like
Den en den den de den, itand's the joint
Parish: yeah my squad stay on point like,
Erick: den en den den de den, its the joint.

Verse two: parrish smith
Its the joint, stay on point
Plus iand'm feelin it
Niggas killin shit tryin to duplicat the manuscript
Thats impossible, pray like the gospel
Over coming set backs, and jumping over obstacles
Like evil kenevil, on point like a needle
Epmdsand' like the beatles, back with another sequal
To hip hop, check one two and you donand't stop
Rap with mainstream randb and pop
Now the worlds shocked
The e-doubles back with mic-doc
Like it or not we bout to turn it up another notch
My speeds put it down for my seeds
Raw breeds, acres with the deeds, its the joint.
Chorus: (first part the same)
Both: va iand'm in your area, (over here)

Verse three: epmd
E: my styles digable, so iand'm phat like that

I got millions of chips, and they stack like that
A five year spread, and now we back like that
How dare they, niggas sittin in they room with brandy
Way pissed off thikin how the canand't stand me
He rhyme shawn for his penn, talking
Not lookin, shoocken, a dead man walking
P: you know me, from rippin shows wit my homie
The one and only, ginuwine like pony
You want a ride? call me up when your lonely
Iand'm parish smith and shit, greaat like tony

P: from brentwood to san quentin
Iand'ma keep rhyming, still representing

And for the emcees taking no shorts, in this blood sport
Chorus: (first part the same)
Both: detroit iand'm in your area, (over here)

Epmd, its a world premier
