Check 1 2

EPMD

[Erick Sermon]



EPMD.. Def Jam.. blazin..




Check it uh huh YO



It's E Dub on the microphone



My style be Elektra I'm the male Syl Rhome



Homes walk around with forty four chrome



on safety spike the mic in the endzone



This here ain't the average shit you used to



Front and automatic rounds will shoot you



So knock it off like Biggie Smalls said Duke you soft



Why you wanna fuck with the boss?




[Parrish Smith]



Where should I start? Breakin MC's or shatterin charts?



It's Diablo, PMD Mic Doc with the purple heart



The go-getter, getter, get wit 'er, hit 'er-split 'er



Front and back, and if she wit it, straight in the shitter



So heidi heidi heidi hydro, pack gats and ammo



+Funky Piano+, van like the fuckin ?tano?



with more cheese than Lambeau, more heat than Rambo



Break down dismantle when I scramble




Chorus: Erick Sermon (Parrish Smith) *repeat 2X*




I just get down, and I go for mines



Say check 1, 2 -- and run down the line



(Inclined to shine) with techs and (forty-four mags and nines)



Don't get too close because you might get shot




[Erick Sermon]



Uhh, yo, ey, and yo



EPMD, fuckin with us is bad news



Me and you got different views



What you might say is dope, I say's not



What I might call wack, you'll call hot



The best thing for you, is to think and hope



or get choked, and hung with +The Velvet Rope+



Cause you too theatrical, mess around



and end up smackin you, jackin you, attackin you




[Parrish Smith]



That's why it's crucial, so stay neutral to collect the cash



double beaucoup, just rippin up mics, is what my crew do



Whatever suits you, pull out the burne
