Set It Off

[Intro: Erick Sermon]

This goes out to my peoples in Queens (representing)

Brooklyn, Uptown (yeah, yeah)

Boogie Down Bronx, Staten Island

All the way to New Jerz, Tri-State Area

Long Island

[Verse 1: Erick Sermon]

Huh

Welcome, Radio land and others

My underground brothers is mad deep like gutters

I brings it no matter what the situation

Underwater, through fire, across barded wire

What, I'm quick to change faces without R. Kelly

When you step on me you best be ready

I heats it up like Hell's Kitchen when I'm bitchin' with this rendition

Chill or you might catch an ass whippin'

There's something wrong, huh

I can't go on and commence

Tear the frame out an MC's ass with the quickness

No forgiveness, this is the way the E does business

One touch and I'll weaken the average came to be rap star

By far by far

My entourage is Sugar Hill like Wesley Snipes

Def Squad's the main attraction for y'all everynight

[Hook]

"I came through the door"

And I set it off

"I came through the door"

And I set it off

"I came through the door"

And I set it off

"I came through the door"

And I set it off

[Verse 2: Erick Sermon]

Dun da da, the E Double brings it full steam

Eyes are green (yeah), taken sucker niggas for they cream

I rock the mic, aight

With intentions to please and decapitate all gimmick MC's (Yeah)

I come action-packed like a flick

And dismantle those duck MC's who can't handle

My sound goes through any musical speakers (beeotch)

And flash a symbol like the Grim Reaper

To signify, gamma ray I display on wax is ridiculous

Way out like the crew on Star Trek (Yeah)

I keep my style Black like Panthers

With women with more Fox than Samantha's

Damn, this don't make no F in' sense

For me to be on top bigger than monuments

A star ghost supernova turns into a black hole

That got put into your soul

[Hook]

"I came through the door"

And I set it off

"I came through the door"

And I set it off

"I came through the door"

And I set it off

"I came through the door"

And I set it off

[Verse 3: Erick Sermon]

For those that envy me, saying I ain't about nothing

But everything you see, my names on something

Flawless, outlandish, unique complete

Off the wall technique I develop without speech (woah)

On bended knee I could damage an MC, thoroughly (yeah, yeah)

Ah, I take him for his currency

Remarkable, the black Superman in the sky

Flying through the air with green eyes

[Hook]

"I came through the door"

And I set it off

"I came through the door"

And I set it off

"I came through the door"

And I set it off

"I came through the door"

And I set it off

[Outro: Keith Murray]

Yeah, yeah yeah, watch your back black

Don't even step up, word is born

L.O.D. is in here too, you know what I'm sayin'?

Def Squad for life, PPP taking it everywhere

Midwest, mideast

Southwest, southwest

North, south, east, west

Northwest, eastsouth, northsouth

Everywhere, E.D. sets it off

You know what I'm saying?

Paintin the boards, rippin' the mic, rippin' niggas, anything you like

Word up, set it off, E.D
