Lyrics

There was a Hardy Boy mystery you're tryna solve
Can't understand why you got involved
And here's the clue, try the ghetto master blaster
Now think who causes disaster
Clue number two, you give up?
I figured, it was K La Boss on the cut
He had help, sucker duck, now that's clue number three
You wrong, 'cause it was EPMD
MC's, get off the bandwagon
I'm not braggin', but taggin'
And snaggin' the biter that tries to imitate
Time to go on strike and demonstrate
On the fo, that does not N-O
That if he pulls my card, I'm good to flow
Toe to toe, blow to blow, without no H2O
Aye-yo, you want to battle? I'm good to G-O
Get off the bandwagon, sucka
Get off the bandwagon
This ain't a blast from the past, it's a boomer from the future
Feel free to scream "Ho" or "Yo" if it suits you
While the bass is boomin' and your face is gloomin'
Sayin' the E double E is def, you're not assumin'
They only one that might think that is a jealous fellow
Say "Yep", and then step because I'm cool and mellow
Hmm, now you're through, you're ho not boo
Or I'll be on that butt like Krazy Glue
I roll into the party as if I was Five-O
Book investigation biters like Columbo
Pushin' rap for some info in exchange for a jumbo
And when I find a sucker it's time to play Rambo
Or play Commanbro, you know?
I knew it was the sucker with the new Jackson 5 afro
We rock rhymes, then we we run 'em a while
Sucker MC's catch on, then they bite our style and get confused
Dazed and amused
Sweatin' and things because our rhymes are used
Seen us in the crowd , now they're thrown off course
They run around like a chicken with their heads cut off
They on the bandwagon
Get off the bandwagon
While my body was swayin', you were sayin'
"Who was that brother?" while the record was playin'
I felt kinda happy like a ego trip
I had to lounge 'cause my energy's tip
My tradition is dissin' in this position
And right about now I'm in perfect condition
So don't get mad, and don't stop hissin'
Don't say nothin', homeboy, just listen
No talk or playin', sucker MC's I be slayin'
Get off the bandwagon, you know what I'm sayin'?
I devastate the hip-hop scene
Keep the feet movin' like a dancin' machine
E got my back (Yeah) La Boss on the scratch
Meanwhile I'm in groove with the beat on wax
I'm in my own world, no room for distraction
Controllin' MC's while the Boss keeps scratchin'
Get off the bandwagon
