strictly business

Lyrics

"i shot the sheriff", don't get too close because you might get shot, "i shot the sheriff", try to answer to the master or the mc rap god is no joke, on the lyric - it's hard to be modest, i knew i was the man with the master plan, to make you wiggle and jiggle, like gelatin, just think while i sink, into the brain structure, don't sleep on the e, you see, somethin' might rupture, it don't take time for me to blow your mind, take a second to wreck it because you're dumb and blind, so just lounge. 'cause you're an mc clown, go join the circus. epmd's in town, total chaos - no mass confusion, rhymes so hypnotizin' known to cause an illusion, like a magician. who draws a rabbit out a hat, son, i draw them all like a.44 magnum, mc, freeze stop look and listen, and try to imagine, it's travellin' the speed of light, but everything's motionless, is frightening. plus the thought you alone, you now enter dimension, called the twilight zone, you're terrified. plus you can't bear the thought, you and i one-on-one, in the land of the lost, you start to shiver. then you scream, my friend, yo, wake up, muttley, because you're dreamin' again, but next time i'm on the scene, do not try to diss us, keep your mouth shut sucker duck, because i'm strictly business, "i shot the sheriff", don't get too close because you might get shot, i'm strictly business, "i shot the sheriff", don't get too close because you might get shot, this is the rap season when the e starts pleasin', girls around the world no need to be skeezin', when i roll i stroll, cool always pack a 2, just in case a brother acts a fool, i've got the energy to put the girlz in a frenzy, put a shock when i rock even though i'm not stingy, make sure i don't bore when i'm on the dance floor, get busy, boy, like you never saw before, rhyme flow good to go, after the show i'll pull your hoe, boy, "do you sniff blow?", - hell no, got my whole life ahead of me, no time to be sniffin', and if my parents find out, then they start riffin', so i stay, a-ok, 'cause i'm the e the r-i-c-k, mc's look me in the face and their eyes get weak, pulse rate descends heart rate increases, it's like beam me up, scotty, i control your body, i'm as deadly as aids when it's time to rock a party, with all due respect, when i say mike check, i let a sucker slide once then i break his neck, so when i say jump, you'll reply "how high?", because i'm takin' no prisoners, so don't play hero and die, you're just a soldier and i'm a green beret, i do not think twice about the mcs i slay, so if you want to battle, i highly recommend this, bring your dog, mom, and dad because i'm strictly business, yo, yo, you're still pickin' on that four-leaf clover?, bring in the sandman, sucker because it's over, my name is eric sermon and i'm back again, i see the head's still turnin' of my so-called friends, they smile in my face - behind my back they talk trash, mad and stuff - because they don't have cash, like the e-double or the pee-md, he drives a corvette, i drive a semi-iroc suzuki, i'm the locksmith with the key to fame, never high on myself, always stay the same, play a lot because i'm hot and like a horse i trot, around the track and back, fatigued?, no, i'm not, i'm the mellow, the fellow, the one that likes to say hello, to a fly girl that is good to go, with the slow tempo and the off-beat rhyme flow, 'cause when i am in action, there is no time for maxin' or relaxin, just reactin' and subtractin', on a sucker mc who's mouth keeps on yappin' and flappin', i lose my cool, then i'll be start slappin' and smackin', you on a roll, then i'll be start jackin' and cappin', no time to lounge, i'm packin' and strappin', at my point attack i soar at you like an eagle, i'm the sheriff, and bitin' is illegal, so next time in town, i highly recommend this, you gots to chill, because i'm strictly business
