| [00:11.95] |
Don't get too close |
| [00:13.18] |
Because you might get shot |
| [00:22.93] |
Try to answer to the master on the MC rap artists |
| [00:25.46] |
No joke on the lyric, it's hard to be modest |
| [00:27.78] |
I knew I was the man with the master plan |
| [00:30.21] |
To make you wiggle and jiggle like gelatin |
| [00:32.96] |
Just think while I sing and to the brain structure |
| [00:35.63] |
Don't sleep on the E, ya see, something might rupture |
| [00:37.96] |
I don't take time for me to blow your mind |
| [00:40.23] |
It takes a second to wreck it because you're dumb and blind |
| [00:42.56] |
So just lounge 'cause you're a MC clown |
| [00:45.15] |
Or join the circus, EPMD's in town |
| [00:47.78] |
Total chaos, no mass confusion |
| [00:50.42] |
Rhymes so hypnotizing, known to cause an illusion |
| [00:52.64] |
Like a magician, he draws a rabbit out a hat, son |
| [00:55.42] |
I'm drawin' more like a .44 Magnum |
| [00:57.89] |
MC, please stop, look and listen and try to imagine |
| [00:59.97] |
It's travellin' the speed of light but everything's in motion |
| [01:02.60] |
It's frightening, plus the thought of you alone |
| [01:04.93] |
You now enter the dimension called the twilight zone |
| [01:07.50] |
You're terrified plus you can't bear the thought |
| [01:09.97] |
You and I, one on one, in the land of the lost |
| [01:12.40] |
You start to shiver, then you scream, my friend |
| [01:14.77] |
You wake up Muttley because you're dreamin' again |
| [01:17.27] |
But next time I'm on the scene, do not try to diss us |
| [01:20.10] |
Keep your mouth suckered up because I'm strictly business |
| [01:25.36] |
Don't get too close |
| [01:26.53] |
Because you might get shot |
| [01:27.81] |
(Strictly business) |
| [01:30.30] |
Don't get too close |
| [01:31.48] |
Because you might get shot |
| [01:32.74] |
This is the rap season where the E starts pleasin' |
| [01:35.31] |
Girls around the world, no need to be skeezin' |
| [01:37.66] |
When I roll, I stroll, cool, always pack a 2 |
| [01:39.98] |
Just in case a brother acts a fool |
| [01:42.66] |
I've got the energy to put the girls in a frenzy |
| [01:45.09] |
Put a shock when I rock even though I'm not stingy |
| [01:47.53] |
Make sure I don't bore when I'm on the dance floor |
| [01:50.16] |
Get busy, boy, like you never saw before |
| [01:52.59] |
Wine flow, good to go |
| [01:54.35] |
After the show, I'll pull your hoe, boy |
| [01:58.20] |
Do you sniff blow? Hell, no |
| [02:00.08] |
Have my whole life ahead of me, no time to be sniffin' |
| [02:02.66] |
And if my parents find out, then they start riffin' |
| [02:05.49] |
So I stay, A-okay 'cause I'm the E, the R I C K |
| [02:10.13] |
MCs look me in my face, then their eyes get weak |
| [02:12.30] |
Pulse rate descends, heart rate increases |
| [02:14.88] |
It's like, beam me up, Scotty! I control your body |
| [02:17.37] |
I'm as deadly as AIDS when it's time to rock a party |
| [02:20.05] |
In all due respect, when I say mike check |
| [02:22.43] |
I let a sucker slide once, then I break his neck |
| [02:24.90] |
So when I say jump, you reply, "How high?" |
| [02:27.28] |
Because I'm takin' no prisoners, so don't play hero and die |
| [02:29.65] |
You're just a soldier and I'm a Green Beret |
| [02:32.53] |
I do not think twice about the MCs I slay |
| [02:34.90] |
So if you want to battle, I highly recommend this |
| [02:37.29] |
Bring your dog, mom and dad because I'm strictly business |
| [02:42.65] |
Don't get too close |
| [02:43.76] |
Because you might get shot |
| [02:45.03] |
(Strictly business) |
| [02:47.62] |
Don't get too close |
| [02:48.68] |
Because you might get shot |
| [02:49.99] |
Yo, yo, you're still pickin' on that four-leaf clover? |
| [02:52.22] |
Bring in the Sandman, sucker, because it's over |
| [02:54.86] |
My name is Eric Sermon and I'm back again |
| [02:57.23] |
I see the head's still turnin' of my so-called friends |
| [02:59.56] |
They smile in my face, behind my back, they talk trash |
| [03:02.40] |
Mad and stuff because they don't have cash |
| [03:04.63] |
Like the E-Double or the PMD |
| [03:07.56] |
He drives a Corvette, I drive a Samurai Suzuki |
| [03:09.69] |
I'm the locksmith with the key to fame |
| [03:12.28] |
Never high on myself, always stay the same |
| [03:14.81] |
Play a lot because I'm hot, like a horse, I trot |
| [03:17.09] |
Around the track and back, fatigued? No, I'm not |
| [03:19.66] |
I'm the mellow, the fellow, the one that likes to say hello |
| [03:22.39] |
To a fly girl that is good to go |
| [03:24.78] |
With the slow tempo and the off-beat rhyme flow |
| [03:27.10] |
'Cause when I am in action, there is no time for maxin' or relaxin' |
| [03:29.67] |
Just reactin' and subtractin' |
| [03:32.15] |
On a sucker MC who's mouth keeps on yappin' and flappin' |
| [03:34.63] |
I lose my cool, then I'll start slappin' and smackin' |
| [03:37.32] |
You on a roll, then Albee starts jabbin' and cappin' |
| [03:40.04] |
No time to lounge, I'm packin' and strappin' |
| [03:42.06] |
At my point attack, I soar at you like an eagle |
| [03:44.70] |
I'm the sheriff and bitin' is illegal |
| [03:47.13] |
So next time in town, I highly recommend this |
| [03:50.06] |
You gots to chill because I'm strictly business |
| [03:54.32] |
Hey yo, E-Double man, let 'em know what time it is |
| [03:56.70] |
Yo, I'm strictly business |
| [03:59.24] |
You know what I'm sayin', PMD? |
| [04:00.44] |
Yo word, EPMD is in full effect |
| [04:05.21] |
Don't get too close |
| [04:05.86] |
Because you might get shot |
| [04:07.52] |
Lounge, be the E-Double, E-Double, E |
| [04:10.85] |
In the place to be and with PMD |
| [04:12.77] |
Know what I mean? My homeboy, Bernard on the scene |
| [04:16.00] |
Know what I'm sayin', Mixmaster Chuck Chase? |
| [04:19.76] |
Don't get too close |
| [04:21.13] |
Because you might get shot |
| [04:20.56] |
In the place |
| [04:21.32] |
Yo, I'd like to say peace to my homey |
| [04:23.19] |
Big Daddy Kane and Biz Markie |
