[erick sermon]
Hit the floor, tuck and roll es on fire
Im your motherfucker, but not jerry maguire
Im the dark skinned, packin mac-10, who get busy
Effective, puttin shit in the proper perspective
[parrish smith]
Strapped with the gat, bustin caps across the map
Yo the crews back, royalties and ascap
Im six two, fat went with the chrome shoe
Diamond and jewels, estates with the swimmin pools
[books]
And the sauna, piggedy-puffin on some marijuana
From tiajuana, miggedy-mess around and youse a goner
I stash the cash dont flash the cash what?
You figgedy-front on this kid I smash that ass
[drayz]
Chiggedy-check the one two-er, bringin it from the sewer to the land
Cross the burnin sand, biggedy-back to business with my miggidy-man
Got plans to blow, solidifyin all positions in the game
Like coalition, stiggedy-stop look and listen
[erick sermon]
To the hot shit, Im the tale of that bronx shit
Call me sonny, with pounds of money
Bringin raw music, call my style swoosh
Please say mister, when you introduce me
[parrish smith]
Yeah.. uhhh epmd and das efx, time to flex
Like funkmaster, back to business in your tape deck
Steel I hold it, put it together blindfolded
Hangin upside down, bust it, then reload it
[books]
Yo, Im comin up from virginia, on the linear
Havin dinner yall, with this dimepiece named levinia
Cellu-lar ringin, its books how ya livin
Fat like thanksgiving, drop some shit like a pigeon
[drayz]
Yo, the boogie banger, biggedy-black rover to ranger

Split your monkey ass in half like moses split the wiggidy-water
Chorus: repeat 2x

Any hype, out the door, kill it
Anything the squadron wants, uhh bill it
Epmd out the box we be rockin
We hold the title, like priests hold the bible
[parrish smith]
God bless, to any mc who wanna test
Survival of the fittest, fuck it life or death
With ill manuevers, rapper slash producer
Puttin it down with e-dub, in the sewer
[books]
Some riggidy-real thugs, sex hip-hop and drugs
Liggidy-left burnt rugs, drinkin beers out of gold mugs
Slugs in the barrel, on name brand apparel
Briggidy-bringin drama like john travolta in aarow
[drayz]
But niggidy-no need for that, smith squeeze the gat
Ease em back, or niggaz gon biggidy-bleed, in fact
Its wiggidy wild shine like the head, of golden child
Corrupt styles, sinister smile, we takin bails to trial
