EPMD - Strictly Business(2014)

[00:22.59] Try to answer to the master on the mc rap artists
[00:25.23] No joke on the lyric -it's hard to be modest
[00:28.08] I knew I was the man with the master plan
[00:29.81] To make you wiggle and jiggle like gelatin
[00:32.56] Just think while I sing and to the brain structure
[00:35.25] Don't sleep on the e -- 'ya see, something might rupture
[00:37.96] I don't take time for me to blow your mind
[00:39.72] It takes a second to wreck it because you're dumb and blind
[00:42.45] So just lounge . . . 'cause you're a mc clown
[00:44.23] Or join the circus . . . epmd's in town
[00:46.92] Total chaos -- no mass confusion
[00:49.74] Rhymes so hypnotizing known to cause an illusion
[00:52.40] Like a magician who draws a rabbit out a hat, son
[00:55.10] I'm drawin' more, like a 44-magnum
[00:57.81] Mc's please stop, look, and listen and try to imagine
[00:59.62] It's travellin' the speed of lighjt, but everything' motion it's frightening
[01:02.33] Plus the thought of you alone
[01:05.09] You now enter the dimension called the twilight zone
[01:06.88] You're terrified . . . plus you can't bear the thought
[01:09.58] You and I one-on-one in the land of the lost
[01:12.25] You start to shiver . . . then you scream, my friend
[01:14.91] You wake up, muttley, because you're dreamin' again
[01:16.83] Next time I'm on the scene . . . do not try to diss us
[01:19.54] Keep your mouth suckered up, because I'm strictly business
[01:31.76] This is the rap season . . . when the e starts pleasin'
[01:34.49] Girls around the world no need to be skeezin'
[01:37.18] When I roll I stroll, cool always pack a 2
[01:39.80] Just in case . . . a brother acts a fool
[01:41.69] I've got the energy to put the girlz in a frenzy
[01:44.36] Put a shock when I rock even though I'm not stingy
[01:47.04] Make sure I don't bore when I'm on the dance floor . . .
[01:49.89] Get busy, boy . . . like you never saw before
[01:52.59] Rhyme flow . . . good to go . . .
[01:54.33] After the show . . . I'll pull your hoe, boy
[01:57.00] Do you sniff blow? -- hell no
[01:59.76] Got my whole life ahead of me, no time to be sniffin'
[02:02.49] And if my parents find out, then they start riffin'
[02:05.17] So I stay, a-ok
[02:06.99] 'Cause I'm the e . . . the r-i-c-k
[02:09.65] Mc's look me in the face and their eyes get weak
[02:11.41] Pulse rate descends . . . heart rate increases
[02:14.11] It's like beam me up, scotty, I control your body
[02:16.99] I'm as deadly as aids when it's time to rock a party
[02:19.61] With all due respect, when I say mike check
[02:21.43] I let a sucker slide once . . . then I break his neck
[02:24.10] So when I say jump, you'll reply how high?
[02:26.83] Because I'm takin' no prisoners, so don't play hero and die
[02:29.55] You're just a soldier . . . and I'm a green beret
[02:32.20] I do not think twice about the mcs I slay
[02:34.02] So if you want to battle, I highly recommend this:
[02:36.72] Bring your dog, mom, and dad . . . because I'm strictly business
[02:49.45] Yo, yo, you're still pickin' on that four-leaf clover?
[02:51.22] Bring in the sandman, sucker . . . because it's over
[02:53.96] My name is eric sermon and I'm back again
[02:56.60] I see the head's still turnin' of my so-called friends
[02:59.39] They smile in my face -- behind my back they talk trash,
[03:02.05] Mad and stuff - because they don't have cash
[03:03.98] Like the e-double . . . or the pee-md
[03:06.69] He drives a corvette, I drive a semi-iroc suzuki
[03:09.35] I'm the locksmith . . . with the key to fame
[03:12.04] Never high on myself, always stay the same
[03:13.84] Play a lot because I'm hot and like a horse I trot
[03:16.54] Around the track and back, fatigued? no, I'm not
[03:19.24] I'm the mellow, the fellow, the one that likes to say hello
[03:21.98] To a fly girl that is good to go
[03:23.74] With the slow tempo and the off-beat rhyme flow
[03:26.41] 'Cause when I am in action, there is no time for maxin' or relaxin
[03:29.97] Just reactin' and subtractin'
[03:31.72] On a sucker mc who's mouth keeps on yappin' and flappin'
[03:34.42] I lose my cool, then I'll be start slappin' and smackin'
[03:37.14] You on a roll, then I'll be start jackin' and cappin'
[03:38.96] No time to lounge, I'm packin' and strappin'
[03:41.67] At my point attack I soar at you like an eagle,
[03:44.39] I'm the sheriff, and bitin' is illegal
[03:46.28] So next time in town, I highly recommend this,
[03:48.92] You gots to chill, because I'm strictly business
[03:51.72]
