I'm Not Him

[Erick Sermon]

{I'M NOT HIM} Nope, it's E don't trip

Word to Cam'Ron, man my Set stay Dipped

We rock Nike Airs, the flyest wears, yeah

We got Flavor man {"Yeahhhhhhhh BOYEEE!"}

{I'M NOT HIM} I'm the Music Man

Who gave Marvin Gaye's wife two hundred grand

Man, ask Quincy, I'm that dude

So please don't get me confused because

{I'M NOT HIM} Boy you in trouble

Guns pack a couple, a one-man SWAT team

By any means, pull a Malcolm

House 'em have 'em screamin Shelton, he {"Bring the noise!"}

{I'M NOT HIM} Nope, I'm the Bandit

That Green Eyed cat, boy from way back

Who set trends, the youngest nigga in rap with a Benz

Rag-top with rims, that was me stupid!

[Hook 2X: Erick Sermon]

{I'M NOT HIM} I'm not him

(It's E-Dub, it's not who you thought he was)

(He's flyer than you thought he was)

So I'm back to reclaim my name because

[Erick Sermon]

{I'M NOT HIM} I'm a 15 year vet

Type of rapper, 15 year stretch

The one who made it happen rappin

Got it crackin rappin, keep the paper stackin, yeah

{I'M NOT HIM} I'm hip-hop elite

The one who signed Redman, the one who signed Keith

The one who made the beat that locked down the corner

Hardcore, that's my persona, geah

{I'M NOT HIM} Nope, I'm the E

The other half of the group of EPMD

And my track record so mean

This here underground bounce so hood, fuck mainstream

{I'M NOT HIM} You can't get with me

I rock spots and leave a TLC "Unpretty"

And now it's "Ugly," Bubba Sparxxx scene

Real dirty and grimy with the Squad behind me

[Hook]

[Erick Sermon]

{I'M NOT HIM} Nope, I'm the master

I'm the man's man, the rapper's favorite rapper

The ultimate, none get close to it

I'm Erick, I'm the one you supposed to pick

{I'M NOT HIM} I keep it gutter on tracks

"Regulate" like Doc Dre's brother

I'm Warren in rap, I drop bombs to-day

You lay like U-day and Qu-say, yeah

{I'M NOT HIM} The MC Grand Royal

On the microphone, and New York's my home

Long Island zone, where I roam

Like phones in Buffalo, geah - you know!

{I'M NOT HIM} Go 'head, talk about me

I don't care since my label dropped me

And I returned like Makaveli

In a new stretch Caddy, watchin "Belly"

I'm not him

[Hook]

(It's E-Dub)

(It's E-Dub, he's not who you thought he was)

{I'M NOT HIM}

(It's E-Dub)

(It's E-Dub, he's not who you thought he was)

{I'M NOT HIM}
