Lyrics

[Intro: PMD & Erick Sermon] Yo, what's up, P? Yo, nothin', man, just coolin' Kick back in the studio with DJ Scratch, my man Frank B Reminiscin' about how we was tryna shop our demo And everyone was dissin', you know what I'm sayin'? Yo, P, tell 'em what's up, man [Verse 1: PMD] We was coolin' in my car one day, you see Clockin' a double nickel on the LIE When it dawned on us that it was ten o'clock Turn on the tunes to hear the DJs rock The hands got to clappin', the fingers got to snappin' E and I was coolin', Brooklyn spirits we was snappin' 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 hands-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 On the way to shop our demo 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 all we kept sayin' was, "Please listen to my demo" [Chorus: Erick Sermon] Please listen to my demo Please listen to my demo Please listen to my demo Please-please-please-ple-please listen to my demo [Verse 2: Erick Sermon] In the year '87 when we first took off When I jumped on P-6-8 and broke North Walkin' the big city streets of Manhattan Buildings, whole nine yards, so enchantin' Thinkin' if we got a chance, we could rock it Funky-fresh demo tape in my pocket We was walkin', and got dissed twice today Then we stopped at 1974 Broadway We walked in with grins on our chins And P had juice with Mr. Virgil Simms He played the tape and we started to laugh Played it for Will Soc' and the Sleeping Bag staff People started smilin', inside we buck wildin' Sayin' this all started back from freestylin' They liked it and they was very kind But me and P was like, "Yo, E, where do we sign?" Went in the back room, things was lovey-dovey Met Ron Resnick and his partner Juggy Things was cool as I remembered We signed the dotted line, now we Fresh Record members Had dreams of fancy cars and limos And all I wanted was somebody to listen to my demo [Chorus: Erick Sermon] Please listen to my demo Please listen to my demo Please listen to my demo Ple-please-please-ple-please listen to my demo [Outro: Erick Sermon] Please listen to my demo Please listen to my demo
