i'm housin'

Singer:epmd

coolin on the scene like a horse in a stable

a brother got ill and tried to snatch a fat cable

i stepped back

like it wasn't no thing

punched him in the jaw with the fat gold ring

i had an ace in the hole when it came to that

you know i'm strapped

posse kept rollin' it was hard to get with 'em

so i stepped back

and unbuttoned my lee denim

they kept coming

just like i figured

so i stepped back

and started sprayin niggaz

what a way to go out

out like a sucker

but i'm on track

like a long island train

that can head your mission

suckers who be dissing

always on my jock like a snake always hissing

grabbing and tapping me like luther vandross

take me to the bar for the drink and make a toast

givin' best wishes to the best mc

the e the d-o-u-b-l-e

because i'm housin

coolin at a party

no better yet disco

head feelin' mellow from a bottle of cisco

move. to crush and fry a sucker mc like crisco

every chance i get

i try to kill

that's one less sucker new jack

who tried to act ill

i keep the place jumpin' till the party's through

whether it's disco

hardcore

or rhythm and blues

take off your coat

won't you stay a while

check out the voice that is smooth and mild

it's like wheel of fortune

go on for big money

come cold rock the party

and leave wit ya honey

gimme the cue

check one two

don't try to come off on me

because you doo-doo

treatin me the e doubl-e

like a stepchild

well let me tell you homeboy you're livin' foul

mc's

you know who you are

why p?

this is the year that when the joker's are wild

when a fag can't hack it and try to bite the style

i get hip to the scheme

before it happens

if it gets wild

then i start cappin

but for now

since everything's calm

relate to the matter as i drop the bomb

as i proceed to rock

the girls are clockin

some brothers act hard but the rest are jockin

because i'm housin

i come on strong

like a bodybuilder

cast a spell upon a sucker

like witch matilda

deliver a rhyme like federal express

my intention's not to dis

but impress

for the ladies and gents

the money was spent

to see the e-p-double-e-m-d

in concert. not worried bout oos 'n' boos

to make your body jerk

(to make your girl want to leave her man and start to flirt

with the p) double-e md double e'n

i'm not skeezing

but pleasing

all party goers

also behind show-ers

who like the not

fast slow flow of rhymes that form in my dome

out the mouth

to the microphone

because i'm housing

dj la boss

on the scratch
