Lyrics
[Intro]
You gots to chill
More bounce
Jungle boogie
More bounce
Jungle boogie
More bounce
Jungle boogie
More bounce
[Verse 1]
Relax your mind, let your conscience be free (Jungle boogie)
And get down to the sounds of EPMD (More bounce)
Well, you should keep quiet while the MC rap
But if you tired, then go take a nap (More bounce)
Or stay awake and watch the show I take
Because right now, I'm 'bout to shake and bake (More bounce)
The E-R-I-C-K is my name, I spell
Thanks to the clientele, yo, I rock well (More bounce)
I'm not an MC who talkin' all that junk
About who can beat who, soundin' like a punk (More bounce)
I just get down and I go for mine
Say, "Check one-two" and run down the line (More bounce)
[Verse 2]
To the average MC, I'm known as The Terminator
Funky beat maker, new jack exterminator (More bounce)
Destroyin' a ploy, when your rhymes are now void
Never sweatin' your girl, 'cause she's a skeezoid (More bounce)
Why P?
When I'm on the scene, I always rock the spot
I grab the steel with the crown on top (More bounce)
In the beginnin', I like to let my rhymes flow
And at twelve, I press cruise control (More bounce)
Sit back and relax, let my rhymes tax
Maintain MC's while the Double-E macks (More bounce)
Always calm under pressure, no need to act ill
Listen when I tell you, boy, you gots to chill (More bounce)
[Chorus]
Jungle, jungle (Chill)
Jungle, jungle (More bounce)
Jungle, jungle
Jungle boogie (More bounce)
[Verse 3]
I be the personal computer information on rap
Like the B-I-Z Markie says, "I'll make your toes tap" (More bounce)
I format the rhymes, step by step
Make 'em sound def to maintain my rep (More bounce)
Prepared to come off, in case of a diss
Not worried 'bout a thing, 'cause we can do this (More bounce)
'Cause I can turn the party out just by standin' still
Make the ladies scream and shout while the brothers act ill (More bounce)
Take total control of your body and soul
Pack a nine in my pants for when it's time to roll (More bounce)
[Verse 4]
I'm the P, double-E, M-D-E-E
And one thing I hate is a bitin' MC (More bounce)
When I enter the party, suckers always form a line
Then they ease their way up and try to bite my lines (More bounce)
I did thousands of shows, dissed many faces
And deal with new jacks, on a one-to-one basis (More bounce)
But every now and then a sucker MC gets courageous
And like an epidemic, it becomes contagious (More bounce)
But never the least, they all R.I.P.
For all those unaware, it means Rest In Peace (More bounce)
'Cause M.D. stands for "Microphone Doctor"
And the capital P, capital M, capital D-E-E's no doubt the chief rocker (More bounce)
Don't like to get ill, but if I have to, I kill (More bounce)
So believe me, boy, you gots to chill (More bounce)
[Chorus]
Jungle boogie, boogie, boogie (More bounce)
[Chorus]
Catch every word I'm sayin', no, there's no delayin' (More bounce)
Don't hesitate to motivate the crowd, I'm not playin'
Seein' is believin', you catch my drift? (More bounce)
Don't try to adapt because I'm just too swift
How swift?
I'm so swift and that's a natural fact, I'm like Zorro (More bounce)
I mark a E on your back
I don't swing on no ropes or no iron cords (More bounce)
The only weapon is my rappin' sword
[Verse 5]
Intimidate MC's with the tone of my vocal drone (More bounce)
When I'm pushin' on the microphone
'Cause I'm the funky rhyme maker, MC undertaker (More bounce)
The one who likes to max and relax
And when it's time, issue Dig 'Em Smack (More bounce)
I keep their hands clappin', fingers, snappin', feet tappin'
When it's time to roll, Uzi patrol was packin' (More bounce)
The PMD, the mic's my only friend
And through the course of the party, I kill again and again (More bounce)
So if you're thinkin' 'bout battlin', you better come prepared
Come with your shield and your armor gear, you gots to chill (More bounce, more bounce)
[Chorus]
Jungle boogie (More bounce)
Jungle boogie
DJ La Boss (More bounce)
Takin' no shorts (More bounce)
[Outro]
More bounce
More bounce
More bounce
More bounce
More bounce
More bounce
More bounce
