So Wat Cha Sayin’

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Erick Sermon & Parrish Smith] The employees of the year, yeah, we're back to work I took time off while other rappers got jerked Due to the fact they wack in their track Have to go back and stack 'cause they lack The ingredients EPMD and scratch for that Yo, I'm the hip-hopper, plus the show shocker Down with MD, yes, the microphone doctor One wrecks, the other destroys And if you think that you're ready to mess, kill the noise We don't play when it's time to slay I get a cut from my homey, yo, then I lay Back and mack and all the rhymes I pack And wait for a sucker to jump and then attack [Verse 2: Parrish Smith & Erick Sermon] Well, I'm known to be the master in the MC field No respect in '87, '88, you kneel 'Cause I produce and get loose when it's time to perform Wax a sucker like Mop & Glo, that's word bond Smacked a second time, but on a different assignment And do a sucker new jack who needs a rappin' alignment 'Cause I'm the cream of the crop when it's time to do a show Girlies on my jock for my dope intro As I glance at E-Double, king microphone wrecker Turn on my cordless, sayin', "Mic checker" To the ladies and all party goers Some call me P and others slow flower Brothers on my jock for the way I hold a piece of steel [Refrain: Parrish Smith] So what you sayin'? So what you sayin'? [Verse 3: Erick Sermon] Puttin' heads to bed straight out the box MCs are jumpin' out shoes and socks I'm not playin', understand what I'm sayin'? Catch a sucker in my way and I'm slayin' Takin' no shorts, showin' vital sign You can tell by my lines that I'm gettin' mines In '89, because I'm fine as wine Sit back and recline, watch the sun shine Take a stroll, listen to rock and roll Catch a flick at the movies, dance, or bowl What I choose I refuse to slack while I'm back I take a chance, jack, so I must attack With knick knack paddywack, so I won't lack Oh, my style is def and as deadly as crack [Verse 4: Parrish Smith & Erick Sermon] While I'm slayin' music's playin', a sucker is delayin' Battle in the trenches where the funky beat playin' 'Cause with a partner like E Double don't come a dime a dozen Not kin or blood-related, but you can call us cousins 'Cause as we climb the charts, better known as statistics Brothers on my jock while I'm kickin' ballistics Droppin' hits like 'I'm Housin,' 'You Gots To Chill,' and more The proof is in the pudding, yo, check the Billboard People round town talkin' this and that Of how we sound like the R and our music was wack Dropped the album Strictly Business and you thought we would fold Thirty days later, the LP went gold [Refrain: Parrish Smith] So what you sayin'? So what you sayin'? [Verse 5: Erick Sermon] Now, party people, it's time for the exquisite No, "Knock, knock, who that over there?" or "Who is it?" It's the E-R-I-C-K, yes, the Boy Wonder No foulups, no bleeps, no bloops or no blunders So hot, so you can say I'm blazin' Or Luther Vandross says, "Yo, I am so amazing And I've been waiting" For a sucker to attack, yo, me the E-Double 'Cause me and PMD is like the funky fresh couple [Verse 6: Parrish Smith] I fight fire with fire, that's why most retired And when we needed a piss boy, you was hired 'Cause you was mesmerized, for that style that we was bringin' In an all-out battle, P comes out swingin' 'Cause I'm just the type of brother that's out to get mines And if the odds against me, I still drop lines And get mines on time, that's why most resign Sit in my La-Z-Boy chair, relax my head and recline Sip a Pepsi or Coke with a twist of lime Or crack a forty-oh and then I go for mine [Refrain: Parrish Smith] So what you sayin'? So what you sayin'?
