like chess and then I yell"checkmate" [01:06.76]You know why I get zanier and zanier [01:09.49]Because of EPMD mania [01:11.67]When I walk through the crowd I can see heads turning [01:14.41]I hear voices saying"That's Erick Sermon" [01:16.73]Not only from the women but from the men [01:19.46]You know what It feels good my friend [01:21.88]I'm the P double E the Thrilla of Manilla

[02:10.62]Snatch him by the neck and say"Hmmm I got him" [02:13.20]Whenever MC's you're in over your head [02:15.43]My rhymes are hungry plus they haven't been fed [02:18.31]The process of elimination is quite simple [02:20.75]Let you grow like a blackhead and pop you like a pimple [02:23.41]Slice you like lettuce toss you like a salad [02:26.06]Revoke your MC license if your rhymes ain't valid [02:28.40]As we go on sucker MC's sound wacker [02:31.75]Like a parrot says"Polly want a cracker" [02:33.81]It was a record test nothing we can't handle [02:36.57]At the house they had the mics on the mantle [02:39.03]Looked at the DJ and said"May I" [02:41.35]Lit it up like the Fourth of July [02:43.74]Because I float like a butterfly sting like a bee [02:46.49]Woah I'm the E of EPMD [02:48.73]I

you're nothing but a sucker [02:59.41]The style we're using no doubt copastetic [03:01.78]You try to bite and yet sound pathetic [03:03.99]Design my rhymes like a taylor floatin' like a sailor [03:06.77]As the P gets stronger MC's get staler [03:09.38]Not bragging or protagging surely not fagging [03:11.99]MC's surrender raise the flags and [03:14.73]Give up the titles because the signs are vital [03:17.00]I keep a voice tuned at a slow and swift idle [03:19.66]You a customer [03:20.50] [03:29.90]I need a man meal sandwich yes I need Manwich [03:32.46]I feel good now it's time to do
