Get off the Bandwagon

Lyrics

[Intro: PMD & Erick Sermon] Ayo, what's up E Double? Yo, whole thing man, got a lot of customers out there man, trying to get paid off what we made Ayo, rapping ain't your field, you took the wrong trade. So you'd better get a grip on them lips, and get off the... Ayo, yo, yo, I be the P-twice E-M-D I be the E-double E in the place to be Ayo what up E man, we in there man? You know we in there, trying to get paid, you know what I'm saying? Yo, we gotta step out hard this year P check this out, this is how it's going down [Verse 1: Erick Sermon] There was a Hardy Boy mystery you're trying to solve Can't understand why you got involved And here's the clue – try the ghetto master blaster Now think who causes disaster Clue number two, you give up? I figured, it was K La Boss on the cut He had help, sucka duck and now that's clue number three You wrong, 'cause it was EPMD [Verse 2: PMD] MCs, get off the bandwagon I'm not bragging, but tagging And snagging the biter that tries to imitate Time to go on strike and demonstrate On the foe, that does not N-O That if he pulls my card, I'm good to flow Toe to toe, blow to blow, without no H2O Ayo, you want to battle? I'm good to G-O [Refrain: Erick Sermon & PMD] Get off the bandwagon, sucka Get off the bandwagon! [Verse 3: Erick Sermon] This ain't a blast from the past, it's a boomer from the future Feel free to scream "Ho" or "Yo" if it suits you While the bass is booming and your face is glooming Saying the E-double E is def, you're not assuming They're only one of many that think a jealous fellow Say "yep" and then step because I'm cooler [Verse 4: PMD] Hmm... now you're through, your ho not boo Or I be on that butt like Krazy Glue I roll into the party as if I was Five-O Book investigate the biter like Columbo Pushing rap for some info in exchange for a jumbo And when I find a sucka it's time to play Rambo Or Commando, you know? I knew it was the sucka with the new Jackson 5 afro We rock rhymes then we we run 'em a while Sucka MCs catch on, then they bite our style They get confused, dazed, and amused Sweating and thing because our rhymes they used Seen us in the crowd, now they're thrown off course They run around like a chicken with their heads cut off [Refrain: Erick Sermon & PMD] Get off the bandwagon! Ayo, man listen when I tell you sucka, get off! Get off the bandwagon! [Verse 5: Erick Sermon] While my body was swaying, you was saying "Who is that brother?" while the record was playing I felt kinda happy like an ego trip I had to lounge 'cause my image is hip My tradition is dissing in this position And right about now I'm in perfect condition So don't get mad, and don't stop hissing Don't say nothing homeboy, just listen [Verse 6: PMD & Erick Sermon] No time for playing, sucka MCs, I be slaying Get off the bandwagon, you know what I'm saying? I devastate the hip-hop scene Keep the feet moving like a dancing machine E got my back, yeah, La Boss is on scratch Meanwhile I'm in groove with the beat on wax I'm in my own world, no room for distraction Controlling MCs while La Boss keeps scratching [Outro: Erick Sermon] Get off the bandwagon!
