I'm Housin'

Cool on the scene like a horse in a stable

A brother got ill and tried to snatch a fat cable

I stepped back like it wasn't no thing

Punched him in the jaw with the fat gold ring

I had an ace in the hole when it came to that

Yo, P, you was packin'? You know I'm strapped

Posse kept rollin' it, was hard to get with 'em

So I stepped back, and unbuttoned my Lee denim

They kept coming just like I figured

So I stepped back and started sprayin' ****

What a way to go out, out like a sucker

But I'm on track like a Long Island train conductor

Head on the mission, suckers who be dissin'

Always on my jock like a snake always hissin'

Grabbin' and tappin' me like Luther Vandross

Take me to the bar for the drink and make a toast

Givin' best wishes to the best MC

The E the D-O-U-B-L-E

Because I'm housin' (EPMD is a world premiere)

Because I'm housin' (EPMD is a world premiere)

Because I'm housin' (EPMD is a world premiere)

Coolin' at a party, no better yet disco

Head feelin' mellow from a bottle of Cisco

Move

To crush and fry a sucker MC like Crisco

Every chance I get, I try to kill

That's one less sucker new jack who tried to act ill

I keep the place jumpin' till the party's through

Whether it's disco, hardcore, or rhythm and blues

Take off your coat, why don't you stay a while?

Check out the voice that is smooth and mild

It's like Wheel Of Fortune, we roll for big money

Come cold, rock the party and leave with your honey

'Gimme the cue, check, one, two

Don't try to come off on me because you doo-doo

Treatin' me, the E-double E like a stepchild

Well, let me tell you, homeboy, you're livin' foul

MC's, you know who you are

On the bandwagon

Why, P? ('Cause you a star)

This is the year that when the joker's are wild

When a fag can't hack it and try to bite the style

I get a hip to the scheme before it happens

If it gets wild then I start cappin'

But for now since everything's calm

Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb

As I proceed to rock the girls are clockin'

Some brothers act hard but the rest are jockin'

Because I'm housin' (EPMD is a world premiere)

Because I'm housin' (EPMD is a world premiere)

Because I'm housin' (EPMD is a world premiere)

Because I'm housin' (EPMD is a world premiere)

I come on strong like a bodybuilder

Cast a spell upon a sucker like witch Matilda

Deliver a rhyme like Federal Express

My intention's not to diss but impress

My ladies and gents whose money was spent

To see the E-P-Double-E-M-D

Yes, the main event

In concert

Not worried 'bout oohs and boos because we do work

To make your body jerk

To make your girl want to leave your man

And start to flirtin' with the piece

Double EMD, double EM

I'm not skeezin' but pleasin'

All party goers also behind showers

Who like the not fast but slow flow of

Rhymes that form in my dome

Out the mouth to the microphone

Because I'm housin'

Because I'm housin' (EPMD is a world premiere)

Because I'm housin' (EPMD is a world premiere)

Because I'm housin' (EPMD is a world premiere)
