Lyrics

Blow

[Verse 1: Erick Sermon]

I'm back, E. Serm, no pressure

Ricochet off niggas, call me Odessa

Shotgun, no Tec on the dresser

Whoever claim to be fresh, me and P is fresher

EPMD is like WWE, tag team macks in the field of rap

So one Mississippi (uh)

Def Squad is with me (uh)

Hit Squad is with me (uh)

Yo PMD, hit me!

[Verse 2: Parrish Smith]

Hail from Brentwood, my stompin' grounds, lick off a round

The nine can't do it, the fifty blow shit down

I know shit now, grind 'til I can't grind no more

This ain't no pop shit, EPMD strictly hardcore

Been there, done did it and 'bout to do it again

Stompin' through with the heavenly grin

With seven number one albums and four different artists in the top ten

'Cause this here is never gonna end

[Chorus: Erick Sermon & Parrish Smith & Both]

Yeah, one Mississippi (and)

Two Mississippi (and)

Three Mississippi (and)

Cock back, let it blow!

P, we got that, let it go!

Don't get too close because you might get shot

One Mississippi (and)

Two Mississippi (and)

Three Mississippi (and)

Cock back, let it blow!

E, we got that, let it go!

EPMD is a world premier

[Verse 3: Erick Sermon]

Yo P, I don't need my shirt off to flex muscle

Dub, I kick shit, this is Kung-Fu Hustle

And not on the block (no), it's more like the studio

With Scratch and Doc, so y'all niggas stop

You little bitch, you're a queen with drama

Don't let me get mad and Barack O-bomb-ya

One Mississippi (uh)

Def Squad's with me (uh)

Hit Squad's with me

Yo PMD, hit me!

[Verse 4: Parrish Smith & Erick Sermon]

Yeah, we shut it down with the market cornered

Now we back in effect right around the corner

(What up, homie?)

Sleep if you want to (Tell 'em, P)

You'd be a dead man walkin'

And your next stop'd definitely be no coroner (CSI)

Got the hood for the dramatic

The automatic for static

When dude got hit, he looked acrobatic

So I'mma call him Dominique Dawes

And this is what happens when niggas try to floss

[Chorus: Erick Sermon & Parrish Smith & Both]

Yeah, one Mississippi (and)

Two Mississippi (and)

Three Mississippi (and)

Cock back, let it blow!

P, we got that, let it go!

Don't get too close because you might get shot

One Mississippi (and)

Two Mississippi (and)

Three Mississippi (and)

Cock back, let it blow!

E, we got that, let it go!

EPMD is a world premier

[Verse 5: Erick Sermon]

Ayo, I'm the greatest, I'm like Muhammad Ali

Islamic? Not me, get robbed quickly

I'm a triple OG, Snoop Dogg said

I got two number twos, both them pump lead

Not the pencil, boy, wrong utensil

Number two is a six-shotter, all copper

And I call it Penny (uh)

Def Squad's with me (uh)

Hit Squad's with me (uh)

Yo PMD, hit me!

[Verse 6: Parrish Smith]

Ayo, I ain't no slacker, plus I ain't hear no bell

I ain't never catch a gun charge, but I seen a cell

That's why my sling stay strapped

Come through with a gang to rap

Master the subconscious enclosures

That's where the anger's at

That's why we mangle rap

From each and every angle, black

We strangle cats and leave an MC's cranium cracked

So let the story be told

As the saga unfold

Erick and Parrish making dollars, this LP's gold

[Chorus: Erick Sermon & Parrish Smith & Both]

Yeah, one Mississippi (and)

Two Mississippi (and)

Three Mississippi (and)

Cock back, let it blow!

P, we got that, let it go!

Don't get too close because you might get shot

One Mississippi (and)

Two Mississippi (and)

Three Mississippi (and)

Cock back, let it blow!

E, we got that, let it go!

EPMD is a world premier
