* versions on "Greatest Hits" differ from the original recordings

The employees of the year yeah we back to work
I took time off while other rappers got jerked
Due to the fact that they wack in their track
Have to go back and stack 'cause they lack
The ingredients... EPMD and Scratch for that...
*DJ Scratch cuts and scratches*
Yo I'm the hip hopper plus the show shocker
Down with MD, yes the Microphone Doctor
One wrecks, the other destroys
And if you think you ready to mess (kill the noise)
We don't play when it's time to slay
I get a cut from my homey, yo, then I lay
back and mack and all the rhymes I pack
And wait for a sucker to jump and then attack
[Parrish Smith]
Well, I'm known to be the master in the MC field
No respect in eighty-seven, eighty-eight you kneel
Cause I produce and get loose, when it's time to perform
Wax a sucker like Mop & Glow (that's word bond)
Back a second time, but on a different assignment
to do a sucker new jack, who needs a rappin alignment
Cause I'm the cream of the crop, when it's time to do a show
Girlies on my jock for my dope intro
As I glance at E-Double, king microphone wrecker
Turn on my cordless, sayin mic checka
to the ladies... and all partygoers
Some call me P, and others slow flower
Brothers on my jock, for the way I hold a piece of steel
So what you sayin?
So what you sayin?
[Erick Sermon]
Puttin heads to bed, straight out the box
MC's, are jumpin out shoes and socks
I'm not playin, understand what I'm sayin
Catch a sucker in my way, and I'm slayin
Takin no shorts, showin vital signs
You
