Strictly Business - EPMD
Try to answer to the master
or the MC rap God is no joke
on the lyric
it's hard to be modest
I knew I was the man
with the master plan
to make you wiggle
and jiggle like gelatin
Just think while I sink
into the brain structure
Don't sleep on the E
You see
somethin might rupture
I don't take time for me
to blow your mind
Take a second to wreck it
because you're dumb and blind
So just lounge
cause you're a MC clown
Go join the circus
EPMD's in town
Total chaos
no mass confusion
Rhymes so hypnotizin known
to cause an illusion
Like a magician
who pulls a rabbit out a hat son
I pull them all
like a 44 Magnum
MC freeze stop look and listen
and try to imagine
It's travellin the speed of light
but everything's motion
is frightening
plus the thought you alone
You now enter dimension
called the Twilight Zone
You're terrified
plus you can't bear the thought
You and I one on one
in the Land of the Lost
You start to shiver
but then you scream my friend
Yo wake up Muttley
because you're dreamin again
But next time I'm on the scene
do not try to diss us
Keep your mouth shut sucker duck
because I'm Strictly Business

This is the rap season
where the E starts pleasin
Girls around the world
no need to be skeezin
When I roll I stroll
cool always pack a tool
Just in case
a brother acts a fool
I've got the energy
to put the girls in the frenzy
Put it in shock when I rock
give it up I'm not stingy
Make sure I don't bore
when I'm on the dancefloor
Get busy boy
Like you never saw before
Rhyme flow
good to go
after the show
I'll pull your hoe boy
Yo you sniff blow
Hell no
I got my whole life ahead of me
no time to be sniffin
And my parents find out
then they start riffin
So I stay a okay
cause I'm the E the R I C K
MC's look me in my face
then their eyes get weak
Pulse rate descends
heart rate increases
It's like beam me up Scotty
I control your body
I'm as deadly as AIDS
when it's time to rock a party
And all due respect
when I say mic check
Let a sucker slide once
then I break his neck
So when I say jump
you reply How high
Because I'm takin no prisoners
so don't play hero and die
cause you're a soldier
and I'm a Green Beret
I do not think twice
about the MC's I slay
So if you want to battle
I highly recommend this
Bring your dog mom and dad
because I'm Strictly Business

Yo yo you're still pickin
on that four leaf clover
Bring in the Sandman sucker
because it's over
My name is Erick Sermon
and I'm back again
I see the heads still turnin
and my so called friends
They smile in my face
behind my back they talk trash
Mad and stuff
because they don't have cash
Like the E Double
or the PMD
He drives a Corvette
I drive a Samurai Suzuki
I'm a locksmith
with the key to fame
Never high on myself
always stay the same
Play a lot because I'm hot
like a horse I trot
Around the track and back
fatigued No I'm not
Well I'm the mellow
the fellow
the one who likes to say hello
to a fly girl that is good to go
With the slow tempo
and the off beat rhyme flow
Cause when I am in action
there is no time for maxin
or relaxin
just subtractin and reactin
on a sucker MC who mouth keeps
on yappin and flappin
I lose my cool
then I'll start slappin and
smackin
You wanna roll
Then Albee start jackin and cappin
No time to lounge
I'm packin and strappin
At my point of attack I soar
at you like an eagle
I'm the sheriff
and bitin is illegal
So when I'm in town
I highly recommend this
You gots to chill
because I'm Strictly Business
