Strictly Business

EPMD

Try to answer to the master on the MC rap artists



No joke on the lyric it's 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



Don't sleep on the E 'ya see something might rupture



I don't take time for me to blow your mind



It takes a second to wreck it because you're dumb and blind



So just lounge . . . 'Cause you're a MC clown



Or join the circus . . . EPMD's 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



I'm drawin' more, like a 44-Magnum



MC's please stop, look, and listen and try to imagine



it's travellin' the speed of lighjt, but everything' motion it's



frightening



Plus the thought of you alone



You now enter the dimension called the Twilight Zone



You're terrified . . . plus you can't 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 you're dreamin' again



Next time I'm on the scene . . . do not try to diss us



Keep your mouth suckered up, because I'm 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



I've got the energy to put the girlz in a frenzy



Put a shock when I rock even though I'm not stingy



Make sure I don't bore when I'm on the dance floor . . .



Get busy, boy . . . like you never saw before



Rhyme flow . . . good to go . . .



After the show . . . I'll 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 I'm the E . . . the R-I-C-K



MC's look me in the face and their eyes get weak



Pulse rate descends . . . heart rate increases



It's like beam me up, scotty, I control your body



I'm as deadly as AIDS when it's 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, you'll reply "How high?"



Because I'm takin' no prisoners, so don't play hero and die



You're just a soldier . . . and I'm 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 I'm Strictly Business



Yo, yo, you're still pickin' on that four-leaf clover?



Bring in the sandman, sucker . . . because it's over



My name is Eric Sermon and I'm back again



I see the head's still turnin' of my so-called friends



They smile in my face -- behin
