Da Joint

[Verse 1: Erick Sermon]

I make a million bucks every six months and y'all

Hating my game, saying my name, they call

Me, the E, wrong things, knowing I'm fly without wings

While some of y'all have to pull strings

In this era, I maintain the freak upon the beat

Master basslines of Raphael Saadiq

Lyrical mastermind, a genius, so don't snooze

No mission's impossible, ask Tom Cruise

I keep a joint lit when I have to spit

A rough paragraph, laugh, when I'm bustin' your ass

Who want it? Come and see me, like 112

And I'll rock that bell with Fox and L

E-Dub, Mr. Excitement, right

The Poltergeist of rap, so come to the light

Yes, the recipient of this award goes to moi

The best qualified superstar

[Chorus: Erick Sermon (PMD)]

My squad stays on point like

Den en den den de den—it's the joint!

(Yeah my squad stay on point like)

Den en den den de den—it's the joint!

[EPMD (Ad Rock vocal sample)]

New York, I'm in your area (Over here!)

DC, I'm in your area (Over here!)

New Jers, I'm in your area (Over here!)

EPMD is a world premier

[Verse 2: PMD]

It's the joint, stay on point, plus I'm feelin' it

Niggas killin' shit, tryin' to duplicate the manuscripts

That's impossible, pray like the gospel

Overcoming setbacks and jumping over obstacles

Like Evel Knievel, on point like a needle

EPMD's like The Beatles, back with another sequel

To hip-hop, check one-two and you don't stop

Rap with mainstream R&B and Pop

Now the world's shocked, the E-Double's back with Mic-Doc

Like it or not, we 'bout to turn it up another notch

Mach speed, put it down for my seeds

Raw breeds, acres with the deeds, it's the joint

[Chorus: Erick Sermon (PMD)]

My squad stays on point like

Den en den den de den—it's the joint!

(Yeah my squad stay on point like)

Den en den den de den—it's the joint!

[EPMD (Ad Rock vocal sample)]

VA, I'm in your area (Over here!)

DA, I'm in your area (Over here!)

Chi-Town, I'm in your area (Over here!)

EPMD is a world premier

[Verse 3: Erick Sermon]

My style's digable, so I'm phat like that

I got a Benz too and it's black like that

I got millions of chips, and they stack like that

A five year spread and now we back like that

How dare they – niggas sittin' in they room with Brandy

Way pissed off thinkin' how they can't stand me

He robbed Sean for his Penn, talkin'

Not lookin', shooken, a Dead Man Walkin'

[Verse 4: PMD, (Erick Sermon)]

You know me, from rippin' flows with my homie

The one and only, Ginuwine like "Pony"

You wanna ride? Call me up when you're lonely

I'm Parrish Smith, the shit—great like Tony

I'm hittin'-hittin' (Where from?)

From Brentwood to San Quentin

I'ma keep rhymin', still representin' (For who?)

For my niggas up North and in the courts

And for the MCs takin' no shorts, in this bloodsport

[Chorus: Erick Sermon (PMD)]

My squad stays on point like

Den en den den de den—it's the joint!

(Yeah my squad stay on point like)

Den en den den de den—it's the joint!

[EPMD (Ad Rock vocal sample)]

Detroit, I'm in your area (Over here!)

Cali, I'm in your area (Over here!)

Philly, I'm in your area (Over here!)

EPMD is a world premier
