Strictly business


Try to answer to the master on the mc rap artists
No joke on the lyric -its 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 sing and to the brain structure
Dont sleep on the e -- ya see, something might rupture
I dont take time for me to blow your mind
It takes a second to wreck it because youre dumb and blind
So just lounge . . . cause youre a mc clown
Or join the circus . . . epmds in town

Total chaos -- no mass confusion
Rhymes so hypnotizing known to cause an illusion
Like a magician who draws a rabbit out a hat, son
Im drawin more, like a 44-magnum
Mcs please stop, look, and listen and try to imagine
Its travellin the speed of lighjt, but everything motion its frightening
Plus the thought of you alone
You now enter the dimension called the twilight zone
Youre terrified . . . plus you cant bear the thought
You and I one-on-one in the land of the lost
You start to shiver . . . then you scream, my friend
You wake up, muttley, because youre dreamin again
Next time Im on the scene . . . do not try to diss us
Keep your mouth suckered up, because Im strictly business

This is the rap season . . . when the e starts pleasin
Girls around the world no need to be skeezin
When I roll I stroll, cool always pack a 2
Just in case . . . a brother acts a fool
Ive got the energy to put the girlz in a frenzy
Put a shock when I rock even though Im not stingy
Make sure I dont bore when Im on the dance floor . . .
Get busy, boy . . . like you never saw before
Rhyme flow . . . good to go . . .
After the show . . . Ill pull your hoe, boy
Do you sniff blow? ? -- hell no
Got my whole life ahead of me, no time to be sniffin
And if my parents find out, then they start riffin
So I stay, a-ok
cause Im the e . . . the r-i-c-k

Mcs look me in the face and their eyes get weak
Pulse rate descends . . . heart rate increases
Its like beam me up, scotty, I control your body
Im as deadly as aids when its time to rock a party
With all due respect, when I say mike check
I let a sucker slide once . . . then I break his neck
So when I say jump, youll reply how high?
Because Im takin no prisoners, so dont play hero and die
Youre just a soldier . . . and Im a green beret
I do not think twice about the mcs I slay
So if you want to battle, I highly recommend this:
Bring your dog, mom, and dad . . . because Im strictly business

Yo, yo, youre still pickin on that four-leaf clover?
Bring in the sandman, sucker . . . because its over
My name is eric sermon and Im back again
I see the heads still turnin of my so-called friends
They smile in my face -- behind my back they talk trash,
Mad and stuff - because they dont have cash
Like the e-double . . . or the pee-md
He drives a corvette, I drive a semi-iroc suzuki
Im the locksmith . . . with the key to fame
Never high on myself, always stay the same
Play a lot because Im hot and like a horse I trot
Around the track and back, fatigued? ? no, Im not

Im the mellow, the fellow, the one that 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 reactin and subtractin
On a sucker mc whos mouth keeps on yappin and flappin
I lose my cool, then Ill be start slappin and smackin
You on a roll, then Ill be start jackin and cappin
No time to lounge, Im packin and strappin
At my point attack I soar at you like an eagle,
Im the sheriff, and bitin is illegal
So next time in town, I highly recommend this,
You gots to chill, because Im strictly business

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
