Verse One: Parrish Smith 

I was coolin in my car one day you see 
Clockin a double nickel on the L-I E 
When it dawned on us that it was, ten o'clock 
Turned on the tunes to hear the DJ rock 
The hands got to clappin, the fingers start to snappin 
E now was coolin, Brooklyn spirits we was snappin 
Comin in and out of fantasies on how large we can get 
Coolin in rocks and Benzes with the ground effect kits 
I wanted black, E was on the two-tone 
Stupid boomin system with the hand-free phone 
The dream gets better and I would like to go on 
but I was brought back to reality by a toot of a horn 
Smoke everywhere, oh just what we needed 
A meeting at twelve, and the car overheated 
Feelin real low, low enough to die 
Holdin up traffic, on the FDR drive 
We had to play ourselves, in the fresh dipped gear 
E Double had to push while MD steered 
There went our dreams, to cool with golden limos 
And alls we kept sayin was please listen to my demo (listen to my demo) 

Please listen to my demo (3X) 
Please-please-please-ple-please listen to my demo 

Verse Two: Erick Sermon 

In the year eighty-seven when we first took off 
Then I jumped on P-6-8 and broke North 
Walked the big city streets of Manhattan 
Buildings, the whole nine yards, so enchantin
