Uh, EPMD, huh
Check it, uh

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 I'm fly without wings
While some of y'all have to pull strings
In this era, I maintain the freak upon the beats
Master baselines of Raphael Saadiq
Lyrical mastermind, a genius so don't snooze
No missions impossible, ask Tom Cruise
I keep a joint lit when I have to spit
A rough paragraph, laugh when I'm busting your 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

My squad stays on point like
Den en den den de den, it's the joint
Yeah, my squad stay on point like
Den en den den de den, it's the joint
New York, I'm in your area (over here)
DC, I'm in your area (over here)
New Jers, I'm in your area (over here)
EPMD is a world premier

It's the joint, stay on point, plus I'm feeling it
Niggas killin' shit tryna duplicate the manuscript
That's impossible, pray like the gospel
Overcoming set backs, and jumping over obstacles
Like Evil Kenevil, on point like a needle
EPMDs' like the Beatles, back with another sequel
To hip hop, check, one-two and you don't stop
Rap with mainstream R&B and pop
Now the world's shocked, E-doubles back with Mic-Doc
Like it or not, we 'bout to turn it up another notch
Mach speed, put it down for my seeds
Raw breeds, acres with the deeds, it's the joint

My squad stays on point like
Den en den den de den, it's the joint
Yeah, my squad stay on point like
Den en den den de den, it's the joint
VA, I'm in your area (over here)
DA, I'm in your area (over here)
Chi-Town, I'm in your area (over here)
EPMD is a world premier

Uh, My styles digable, so I'm phat like that
I got a Benz too, and it's black like that
I got millions of chips, and they stack like that
A five year spread and now we back like that
How dandy, niggas sittin' in they room with Brandy
Way pissed off thinkin' how the can't stand me
He rhyme Shawn for his Penn, talking
Not lookin', shooken, a dead man walkin'

You know me, from rippin' shows wit my homie
The one and only, Ginuwine like Pony
You wanna ride? Then call me up when you're lonely
I'm Parish Smith the shit, Great like Tony
I'm hittin'-hittin' (where from?)
From Brentwood to San Quentin
I'ma keep rhymin', still representin' (for who?)
For my niggas up north and in the courts
And to the emcees takin' no shorts, in this blood sport

My squad stays on point like
Den en den den de den, it's the joint
Yeah, my squad stay on point like
Den en den den de den, it's the joint
Detroit, I'm in your area (over here)
Cali, I'm in your area (over here)
Philly, I'm in your area (over here)
EPMD is a world premier
