Verse one: erick sermon parrish smith
The employees of the year yeah weand're back to work
I took time off while all the rappers got jerked
Due to the fact that theyand're wack and their tracks
Have to go back and stack and'cause they lack
The ingredients . . . epmd and scratch for that . . .
*dj scratch cuts and scratches*
Yo iand'm the hip hopper plus the show shocker
Down with md yes the microphone doctor
One wrecks, the other destroys
And if you think that youand're ready to mess (kill the noise)
We donand't play when itand's time to slay
I take 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
Well, iand'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 itand's time to perform
Wax a sucker like mop and glow (thatand's word born)
Smacked a second time, but on a different assignment
And do a sucker new jack who needs a rappin alignment
Cause iand'm the cream of the crop when itand's time to do a show
Girlies on my jock for my dope intro
As i glance at e-double, kickin microphone wrecker
Turn on my cordless, sayin mic checka
To the ladies . . . and all party goers
Some call me freak, 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?
Verse two: erick sermon, parrish smith
Puttin heads to bed, straight out the box
Mcand's, are jumpin out shoes and socks
Iand'm not playin, understand what iand'm sayin
Catch a sucker in my way, and iand'm slayin
Takin no shorts, so iand'm vital sign
You can tell by my lines that iand'm gettin mines
In eighty-nine, because iand'm fine as wine
Sit back and recline, watch the sun shine
Take a stroll, listen to rock and roll
Catch a flick at the movies, dance a bowl
What i chose i refuse to slack while iand'm back
I take a chance jack, so i must attack
With knick knack paddywack so i wonand't lack
Oh my style is def, and as deadly as crack
While iand'm slayin must explain, a sucker is the lame
Battle in the trenches where the funky be playin
Cause with a partner like e double donand't come a dime a dozen
A kin not blood related, but you can call us cousins
Cause as we climb the charts, better known as statistics
Brothers on my jock while iand'm kickin ballistics
Droppin hits like iand'm housin, you gots ta chill, and more
The proof is in the pudding (yo check the billboard)
People round town talkin this and that
Of how we sound like the r, and our music was wack
Dropped the album strictly business and you thought we was bold
Thirty days later, the lp went gold
So what you sayin
So what you sayin
Verse three: erick sermon, parrish smith
Now party people itand's time for the exquisite
No knock knock who that over there or who is it
Itand's the e-r-i-c-k, yes the boy wonder
No fouls no bleeps no bloops or no blunders
So hot, so you can say iand'm blazin
Or luther vandross says, yo i am
andquot;sooooooo amazing, and iand've been waitingandquot;
For a sucker to attack yo me the e-double
Cuz me and pmd is like the funky fresh couple
I fight fire with fire, thatand's why most retired
And when we needed a piss boy, you was hired
Cause you was memorex, for that style that we was bringin
In an all out battle, p comes out swingin
Cause iand'm just that type of brother thatand's out to get mines
And if the odds against me, i still drop lines
And get mines on time thatand's why most resign
Sit in my lazyboy chair, relax my head and recline
Sip a pepsi or coke, with a twist of lime
Or crack a forty-oh, and then i go for mine
So what you sayin
So what you sayin
