Strictly Business |
«I shot the Sheriff» |
Don’t get too close because you might get shot |
«I shot the Sheriff» |
Try to answer to the master or the MC rap god is 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 sink, into the brain structure |
Don’t sleep on the E |
You see, somethin' might rupture |
It don’t take time for me to blow your mind |
Take a second to wreck it because you’re dumb and blind |
So just lounge… 'cause you’re an MC clown |
Go join the circus… EPMD’s in town |
Total chaos — no mass confusion |
Rhymes so hypnotizin' known to cause an illusion |
Like a magician… who draws a rabbit out a hat, son |
I draw them all like a .44 Magnum |
MC, freeze stop look and listen, and try to imagine |
It’s travellin' the speed of light, but everything’s motionless |
Is frightening… plus the thought you alone |
You now enter 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 |
Yo, wake up, Muttley, because you’re dreamin' again |
But next time I’m on the scene, do not try to diss us |
Keep your mouth shut sucker duck, because I’m strictly business |
«I shot the Sheriff» |
Don’t get too close because you might get shot |
I’m Strictly Business |
«I shot the Sheriff» |
Don’t get too close because you might get shot |
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 — behind my back they talk trash |
Mad and stuff — because they don’t have cash |
Like the E-Double or the Pee-MD |
He drives a Corvette, I drive a semi-iroc Suzuki |
I’m the locksmith with the key to fame |
Never high on myself, always stay the same |
Play a lot because I’m hot and like a horse I trot |
Around the track and back |
Fatigued? |
No, I’m not |
I’m the mellow, the fellow, the one that likes to say hello |
To a fly girl that is good to go |
With the slow tempo and the off-beat rhyme flow |
'Cause when I am in action, there is no time for maxin' or relaxin |
Just reactin' and subtractin' |
On a sucker MC who’s mouth keeps on yappin' and flappin' |
I lose my cool, then I’ll be start slappin' and smackin' |
You on a roll, then I’ll be start jackin' and cappin' |
No time to lounge, I’m packin' and strappin' |
At my point attack I soar at you like an eagle |
I’m the sheriff, and bitin' is illegal |
So next time in town, I highly recommend this |
You gots to chill, because I’m Strictly Business |
