Lyrics

(Uh, EMPD, uh, check it)
(No)
I make a million bucks
(No)
Every six months and y'all
Hating my game saying my name they call
Me the E wrong things
(No)
Knowing I'm fly without wings
(Uh-huh)
While some of y'all have to pull strings
(No)
In this era, I maintain the freak upon the beat
Master baselines of Raphael Saadiq
(No)
Lyrical mastermind a genius so don't snooze
No missions impossible ask Tom Cruise
(Uh-huh no)
I keep a joint lit when I have to spit
A rough paragraph, laugh when I'm busting yo' ass
(No)
Who want it?
Come and see me, like 112
(Uh-huh)
And I'll rock that bell with Fox and L
E-Dub
(No)
Mr. Excitement, right
The poltergeist of rap so come to the light
(Uh-huh, yeah no)
Yes, the recipient of this award goes to moi
The best qualified superstar
(Yeah, huh, no)
My squad stays on point like
Den-net-tet-tet-de-net
(Yeah, yeah)
It's da joint
(No)
Yeah my squad stay on point like
Den-net-tet-tet-de-net
(Yeah, yeah)
It's da joint
New York I'm in your area
(Over here)
D.C. I'm in your area
(Yeah, yeah, over here)
New Jersey I'm in your area
(Over here)
EPMD, it's a world premier
(Yeah, yeah)
It's da joint
(No)
Stay on point
Plus I'm feeling it
**** killing shit trying to duplicate the manuscript
(No)
That's impossible, pray like the gospel
Over coming set backs and jumping over obstacles
(No)
Like Evel Knievel, on point like a needle
EPMDs' like the Beatles, back with another sequel
(No)
To hip hop, check 1, 2 and you don't stop
Rap with mainstream R&B and pop
(No)
Now the world's shocked
The E-doubles back with Mic-Doc
Like it or not we 'bout to turn it up another notch
(No)
My speeds put it down for my seeds
(Seeds)
Raw breeds, acres with the deeds, it's da joint
(No)
My squad stays on point like
Den-net-tet-tet-de-net
(Yeah, yeah)
It's da joint
Yeah my squad stay on point like
Den-net-tet-tet-de-net
(Yeah, yeah)
It's da joint
(No)
VA I'm in your area
(Over here)
DA I'm in your area
(Over here, yeah yeah)
Chi Town I'm in your area
(Over here)
EPMD, it's a world premier
(Yeah, yeah, uh, no)
My style's digable, so I'm phat like that
I got a Benz too
(Uh-huh)
And it's black like that
(No)
I got millions of chips, and they stack like that
A five year's friend, and now we back like that
(No)
How dandy, **** sittin' in they room with Brandy
Way pissed off thinking how they can't stand me
(No)
He rhyme Shawn for his Penn, talkin'
Not looking, shooken, a dead man walking
(No)
You know me, from ripping flows wit' my homie
The one and only, Ginuwine like Pony
(No)
You want a ride? You call me up when you're lonely
(Yeah)
I'm Parrish Smith this shit, great like Tony
(Huh, no)
I'm hittin' hittin'
Where from?
From Brentwood to San Quentin
I'ma keep rhyming, still representin'
For who?
(No)
For my **** up north and in the courts
And to the emcees taking no shorts, in this blood sport
(No)
My squad stays on point like
Den-net-tet-tet-de-net
(Yeah, yeah)
It's da joint
Yeah my squad stay on point like
Den-net-tet-tet-de-net
(Yeah, yeah)
