Too Close

[Intro (scratched): Erick Sermon & LL Cool J] Don't get too close because you might get shot Hardcore Don't get too close because you might get shot Hardcore Don't get too close because you might get shot [Verse 1] One's for the treble, two's for the bass Up in your face you're just taking up space On the case like Lojack, drugs like prozac Flava and you know that, kid this shit is so fat The down low devious, previous mischevious Lookin' like a villain, here to make a killin' Appealin' to the hip-hop crowd, rowdy loud Rah-rah-rah finger rash, pay me cash A late night еxcursion Lookin' and listenin' to scenes I bе fittin' in the ride that I'm gettin' in Finishin' the job on total acid, pass it My eyes are red, thoroughbread I pack 'nuff lead This is how I'm warnin', harder than stone So when I aim for the dome then bow! The spot is blown Do you understand it the mic throw I demand it Riffin', it doesn't make a difference [Chorus (scratched): Erick Sermon & LL Cool J] Hardcore Don't get too close because you might get shot Hardcore Don't get too close because you might get shot Hardcore Don't get too close because you might get shot Hardcore Don't get too close because you might get shot [Verse 2] Is it real, huh? Is it really? Is that buddha and the philly? I let smoke influence me to laugh at jokes When I'm writin' down the hot on paper The flow I create heats the trigger of my flame-a Then I commence to set it off with a sentence Wack MC's keep your distance Instantly just like a bomb when the mic is in my palm I do harm, but cool and calm with the firearms Dangerous flavorous lyrical miracle Street life material kept up in the stereo So here we go for niggas that know what's up Oh yeah, the hardcore shit, makin' chumps forfeit Walkin' on ya, steppin' on ya just like a doormat Check the format, definitely all that The extreme dopeness gettin' focused How I'm gonna spark it, how I'm gonna smoke this [Chorus (scratched): Erick Sermon & LL Cool J] Hardcore Don't get too close because you might get shot Hardcore Don't get too close because you might get shot Hardcore Don't get too close because you might get shot Hardcore Don't get too close because you might get shot [Verse 3] Original genuine medicine strictly for my heads Addicting like codeine Shootin' dope like a dope fiend but actually chillin' Verbally illin' on the mic, wild hype Just the type flowin' that be havin' bitches hoein' The diamond in my earlobe is glowin', the rhyme swollen So who will be the next Contex body I rock a party, strapped with a loaded shotty La-di-da-di, organized like Gotti For real a hot meal before a closing of a deal Twist a cap to the 40 and max, the bare facts I don't fake jax I just rip through tracks For me to chunk you with a skit, just ask And once I pull out, no doubt I'm gonna blast Hoes and enemies and brothers at front rows You know how it goes, friends or foes, don't sweat mine [Outro (scratched): Erick Sermon & LL Cool J] Hardcore Don't get too close because you might get shot Hardcore Don't get too close because you might get shot Hardcore Don't get too close because you might get shot Hardcore Don't get too close because you might get shot
