Singer:epmd

yo whassup p?

yo nuttin man just coolin kick back in the studio wit dj scratch

and my man frank b

reminiscin about how we was tryin' to shop

our demo and everybody was dishin

youknowhati'msayin?

yo p tell 'em whassup man

we was coolin in my car one day you see

clockin a double nickel on the l-i e

when it dawned on us that it was

ten o'clock

turned on the tunes to hear the dj's rock

the hands got to clappin

the fingers got to snappin

e and i was coolin

with his man's

he was snappin

in and out of fantasies on how large we can get

coolin in rocks and benzes with the ground effect kits

i wanted black

e was on the two-tone

stupid boomin system with the hands-free phone

the dream gets better and i would like to go on

but i was brought back to reality by a toot of a horn

smoke everywhere

oh just what we needed

on the way to shop our demo and the car overheated

feelin' real low

low enough to die

holdin' up traffic

on the fdr drive

we had to play ourselves

in the fresh dipped gear

e double had to push while md steered

there went our dreams

to cruise in golden limos

and all we kept sayin' was please listen to my demo

please listen to my demo

please-please-please-ple-please listen to my demo

in the year eighty-seven when we first took off

when i jumped to p-6-8 and broke north

walkin' the big city streets of manhattan

buildings

whole nine yards

so enchantin

thinkin' if we got a chance

we could rock it

funky fresh demo tape in my pocket

we was walkin'

and got dissed twice today

then we stopped at 1974 broadway

we walked in with grins on our chins

and p had juice from mr. virgo simms

he played the tape and we started to laugh

played?if it was sock? and they swoop and backstab

people start to smile inside we buckwhylin

sayin' this all started back from freestylin

they liked it

and they were very kind

but me and p was like

yo e
