Check 1 2 - EPMD

[Erick Sermon] 
EPMD.. Def Jam.. blazin.. 

Check it  uh huh  YO 
It's E Dub on the microphone 
My style be Elektra  I'm the male Syl Rhome 
Homes  walk around with forty four chrome 
on safety  spike the mic in the endzone 
This here ain't the average shit  you used to 
Front  and automatic rounds  will shoot you 
So knock it off  like Biggie Smalls said Duke you soft 
Why you wanna fuck with the boss? 

[Parrish Smith] 
Where should I start? Breakin MC's or shatterin charts? 
It's Diablo, PMD Mic Doc with the purple heart 
The go-getter, getter, get wit 'er, hit 'er-split 'er 
Front and back, and if she wit it, straight in the shitter 
So heidi heidi heidi hydro, pack gats and ammo 
+Funky Piano+, van like the fuckin ?tano? 
with more cheese than Lambeau, more heat than Rambo 
Break down dismantle when I scramble 

Chorus: Erick Sermon (Parrish Smith) *repeat 2X* 

I just get down, and I go for mines 
Say check 1, 2 -- and run down the line 
(Inclined to shine) with techs and (forty-four mags and nines) 
Don't get too close because you might get shot 

[Erick Sermon] 
Uhh, yo, ey, and yo 
EPMD, fuckin with us is bad news 
Me and you got different views 
What you might say is dope, I say's not 
What I might call wack, you'll call hot 
The best thing for you, is to think and hope 
or get choked, and hung with +The Velvet Rope+ 
Cause you too theatrical, mess around 
and end up smackin you, jackin you, attackin you 

[Parrish Smith] 
That's why it's crucial, so stay neutral to collect the cash 
double beaucoup, just rippin up mics, is what my crew do 
Whatever suits you, pull out the burne
