The Joint

EPMD

Verse One: Erick Sermon



I make a million buck



every six months and y'all



hating my game saying my name they call



me the E wrong things



knowing Im fly without wings



while some of y'all have to pull strings.



In this era I maintain the freak upon the beats



master basslines of Raphael Saadiq



Lyrical mastermind a genius so dont snooze



no missions impossible ask Tom Cruise



I keep a joint lit when I have to spit



I rough paragraph, laugh when I'm busting yo' ass, who want it?



Come and see me, like 112



and I'll rock that bell with Fox and L



E-Dub, Mr Excitement, right



The poltergeist of rap so come to the light.



Yes, the recipient of this award goes to Moi,



the best qualified superstar.



Chorus: EPMD



Erick: My squad stays on point like



Den en den den de den, It's the joint



Parish: Yeah my squad stay on point like,



Erick: Den en den den de den, Its the joint.



Both: New York I'm in your area, (Over here)



DC I'm in your area, (Over here)



New Jerse I'm in your area, (Over here)



EPMD, its a world premier



Verse Two: Parrish Smith



Its the joint, stay on point



Plus I'm feelin it



niggas killin shit tryin to duplicat the manuscript



thats impossible, pray like the gospel



over coming set backs, and jumping over obstacles



Like Evil Kenevil, on point like a needle



EPMDs' like the Beatles, back with another sequal



to hip hop, check one two and you don't stop



rap with mainstream R&B and pop



now the worlds shocked



the E-doubles back with Mic-Doc



Like it or not we bout to turn it up another notch



My speeds put it down for my seeds



Raw breeds, acres with the deeds, its the joint.
