Erick Sermon
Look at You Now
Ha ha, yo, yo!
EPMD, uh!
Ayy yo, 2000 (3, uhh!) dangerous
Check the arrangement
No half steppin'
Big D Kane shit
The remarkable things I do ingenious
E. underground rhyme extremist
I live by the rhyme
Ain't nuttin' gon' change
My style should be hall of fame
P's the same so
Check-check-check-check out my melody
Keep it hardcore
Forget what they telling me
(yeah yeah yeah back the fuck up yo)
Ayy yo, nuthin' but ruckus when we step in
N***as be like, "Who let the dogs out?"
I'm like, "The Baja Men."
Steppin' through with ten Timbs
Fresh out the wide-body Benz with no [...]
With P.J. and Cody, my next of kin
It's no other, the cats will [...] Long Island brothers
You get smothered
EPMD New York undercover
Shit ain't hot it's blue flame
Used to the name
E and P straight raised in the game
Look at you now
You used to be the man and shit
Look at you now
You ain't nothing without the hit
Look at you now
Yeah no more cash to spend
Look at you now
Look around, where's your friends?
Look at you now
You used to front hard in your rhyme
Look at you now
Ha ha you lost your shine!
Look at you now
What happened to all your fame?
Look at you now
Now nobody knows your name
Ayy yo, it hits you a one-off
Claim to bust a gun off
When your aura's soft like a thousand pillows
And the confidence you got is real low
So I'm a blow for the both of us like so [...]
Non-stoppin', sure-shockin', body-rockin'
Your mind hip-hoppin', style droppin'
Fuck the law, got Cochran
My bank is decent, it'd kill your account
Grim reap it
P!
E, dude, I be nice with the mic when I groove
Six for six [...] seven, with nuttin' to prove
So from the G4 to the backstage door
To the stage floor to in-store
To signin' "We Mean Business" in your record store
Hit Squad (Def Squad)
You know the logo
From [...] to [...] solo to Reggie Noble
We're two clever OGs from the golden era
With lyrical terror, EPMD rocked their own era
Look at you now
You used to be the man and shit
Look at you now
You ain't nothing without the hit
Look at you now
Yeah no more cash to spend
Look at you now
Look around, where are your friends?
Look at you now
You used to front hard in your rhyme
Look at you now
Haha you lost your shine!
Look at you now
What happened to all your fame ?
Look at you now
Now nobody knows your name
Yo, they say you a [...] cat, I don't believe you
I come to your hood with P
And breeze through
And take your accessories, and [...] that
All that's rented. The car, bring it back
'Cause you about to fold
And the game is the blanket
Your song sucks and that's how I rank it
The G-R-E-E-N-E-Y-E-D, the bandit
Yo, P, make 'em understand it
Cats trying to stop EPMD but they can't
Spittin' rhyme and [...]
The whole folks blowin' out fuses and amps
In 2001, n***as odds were 20:1
Drop a street slang like, "What up God"
It's [...]
The bandit the key, free like the style we spit
Bars we kick ran through twenty trucks and whips
We built for this shit, Erick Sermon and Parrish Smith
Gorilla monster shit, Sasquatch smashin' your clique
Look at you now
You used to be the man and shit
Look at you now
You ain't nothing without the hit
Look at you now
Yeah no more cash to spend
Look at you now
Look around, where's your friends?
Look at you now
You used to front hard in your rhyme
Look at you now
Haha you lost your shine!
Look at you now
What happened to all your fame?
Look at you now
Now nobody knows your name
