The Big Payback EPMD

[00:03.65] Aiyyo whassup e double?
[00:05.55] Yo whassup man?
[00:06.45] Yo these crab mc's got us trapped up behind these walls man
[00:08.25] But I'm ready to break out of here and do this, yaknahmsayin?
[00:10.98] So what's the magic word?
[00:13.62] Open sesame, and let down the main gate
[00:15.42] Before you screamed epmd, you shouldn't wait
[00:18.23] I roll with a posse, hey you tried to stop me
[00:20.08] Also yo, your brothers tried to pop me
[00:22.73] On the sneak tip, without me knowin
[00:25.40] So I keep goin, and my rhymes keep flowin
[00:27.22] On and on, and I don't quit
[00:29.93] I get pushed to the limit, and yo that's it
[00:31.88] Step by step, I put an end to your fun
[00:34.57] Cause I'm the chosen one, yes me my son
[00:36.35] A young kid from the ghetto, a kiddie from the city
[00:39.09] I don't feel sorrow, and I have no pity
[00:41.73] To run up on you, and wax plus tax
[00:43.67] Your gold, your money, and from your eyes your contacts
[00:46.36] Then flex over, a hop skip and a jump
[00:49.05] To the next town, to go punk a chump
[00:50.83] Mc's try to diss me, and try to bust caps
[00:53.55] I'm not havin it, and that means no haps jack
[00:55.34] So get the bozack, only off the crack, that's wack
[00:58.10] This is the big payback
[01:09.06] As I go and flow, to a different type of tempo
[01:11.77] (Why md?) c'mon e, the p keeps it simple
[01:14.41] Plus I'm strikin like lightnin, throwin blows like tyson
[01:17.18] Slayin mc's on the q-t, sorta like a sniper
[01:18.95] So if a sucker don't like me, the feeling is mutual
[01:20.71] I took my rhyme to a lower rpm, then shift to neutral
[01:23.53] Then crack a 40 (what kind) of olde e
[01:26.21] To slay an mc (how) on the q-t
[01:28.07] (So what's your name boy?) c'mon, you know it's m.d.
[01:30.79] So while I'm wreckin he's checkin, all the bodies that's left and
[01:32.59] A pile behind the stage, the p is like steppin
[01:35.39] Off from the scenes, I see lights and si-rens
[01:38.02] Witness everywhere, but no one seen a thing
[01:39.83] When cops ask questions, my description is vague
[01:42.58] No answers at all, just bodies behind the stage
[01:44.35] One witness yells out, that he was dressed in black
[01:47.14] Stupid dookie link, with a fisherman hat
[01:48.90] A cop said, yo, how'd he flee from the spot?
[01:51.69] In a black sports car, I think it was an iroc
[01:54.32] But the windows were tinted, and we couldn't get a look
[01:56.18] (Why?) there was smoke from the rubber he cooked
[01:58.85] The big payback
[02:07.92] No rome-et-oh, or juliette romance story
[02:10.61] Just epmd, the fame and the glory
[02:12.42] The rappin technique, somethin like fencin, dangerous
[02:16.19] It keeps you in suspense
[02:17.97] And you have to be cool, and plus have stamina
[02:19.75] Cause if you don't, I'm gonna end up stabbin ya
[02:22.44] In your guts, from the razor cuts
[02:24.21] And i'ma stick and pick, until your mind goes nuts
[02:27.05] It might sound gross, or make your stomach bubble
[02:28.80] But don't never ever ever, mess with e double
[02:31.58] I'm like jumpin jack flash, a spy with an eye
[02:33.36] I do no stunts, and I'm not the fall guy
[02:36.08] I'm just the e, the r-i-c-k, that's all
[02:38.74] Did some check one-twos, and some yes yes y'alls
[02:40.68] I'm the man of the hour, sweet to be sour
[02:43.32] (So what you sayin e?) I got soul power!
[02:46.05] So dig it, as I kick it, keep your eyes open
[02:47.86] Cause a brother like me, is always scopin
[02:50.51] In fact, you should pack, because I cut no slack
[02:52.35] It's like that. this is the big payback
[03:04.15] If rappin was a tribe I'd be the chief commanche
[03:06.93] Had fat link, chunky rings, nuttin fancy
[03:08.78] So saddle up mc's, and off we go
[03:11.44] It's not a rodeo, but I carry a lasso
[03:13.29] Cause I'm back from vacation, cause suckers kept slippin
[03:15.92] Rappin off-beat, plus your tunes wasn't hittin
[03:18.74] They wanna claim a style on the m-i-c
[03:20.58] But I can rotate the state, cold rippin shows with e
[03:23.25] Cause whether maxin or relaxin, waxin or taxin
[03:25.03] Never step to a show without packin
[03:27.73] My partners, mr. smith and mr. wessun
[03:30.48] So nothin moves funny, at the rappin session
[03:32.35] I'm strictly biz and knuckles, no time for laugh or chuckles
[03:35.05] I drop clear lyrics, while your bass sound muffled
[03:36.87] (You sniff blow?)hell no, and still flow and say go
[03:39.52] More or less do a show. nah
[03:42.21] The only high I get, is when my fans yell hoe
[03:44.01] So get the bo-zack, because we're back to hack
[03:45.94] Here to let you know that it's the big payback
[03:57.76] Yeah that's right man, big payback in eighty-nine, yaknahmsayin?
[04:03.12] Epmd's in effect on the unfinished business tip? and tony, snappin necks
[04:10.42]
