[Intro: Erick Sermon & (P) {Erick Sermon}
Yo what's up P? (Yo what's up E-dub?)
A lot of crab MC's out there (No doubt)
Tryin to mess with the Squadron (Straight up)
Knowin they ain't got no wins (Nuttin)
KnowhatI'msayin? (Nuttin)
Gotta let em know this time (Yeah, we got these cats)
We get down like that (Straight underground like that)
Word up (Too phat)
Check it
Open Sesame, and let down the main gate
Before you scream EPMD, you should wait
I roll with a posse, in case you try to stop me
Always a yo, and brothers try to pop me
Or on the sneak tip, without me knowin
So I keep goin, and my rhymes keep flowin
On and on, and I don't quit
I get pushed to the limit, and yo that's it
Step by step, I put an end to your fun
Cause I'm a chosen one, yes me my son
A young kid from the ghetto, a kiddie from the city
I don't feel sorrow, and I have no pity
To run up on you, and wax plus tax
Your gold, your money, and from your eyes your contact
The flex over, I hop skip and I jump
To the next town, to go punk a chump
MC's try to diss me, and try to bust caps
I'm not havin it, and that means no hats jack
So get the bozack or lay off the crack
Cause that's wack, this is the big payback
"Big payback!" (Yo!)
"Big payback!" (Yo!)
"Big payback!" (Yo!)
"Big payback!" (Yo!)
As I go and flow, to a different type of tempo (Why, Emdy?)
C'mon E, cause P keep it simple
Plus I'm strikin like lightning, throwin blows like Tyson
Slayin MC's on the Q-T, sort of like a sniper
So if a sucker don't like me, the feeling's mutual
I tune my rhymes to a lower P.M., then shift to neutral
Crack a 40 (What kind?) of Olde E
To slay an MC (How?) on the Q-T
(So what's your name boy?) C'mon E you know it's Emdy
Now while I'm recordies checkin all the bodies that's left and
I pop behind the stage, and P's like steppin
Off from the scenes, I see lights and sirens
Witness everywhere, but no one seen a thing
When cops ask questions, my description is vague
No answers at all, just bodies behind the stage
One witness shouts out that he was dressed in black
Stupid dookie link with a fisherman hat
When five-ohs ask how he's flee from the spot
In a black sports car, I think it was an IROC
But the windows were tinted, and we couldn't get a look
(Why?) There was smoke from the rubber he cooked
The big payback
"Big payback!" (Yo!)
"Big payback!" (Yo!)
"Big payback!" (Yo!)
"Big payback!" (Yo!)
[Verse 3: Erick Sermon & (P)
No Romeo at all, a Juliet with man stories
Just EPMD, the fame and the glory
The rappin technique, somethin like fencin
Dangerous, to keep you in suspense and
You have to be cool, and plus have stamina
Cause if you don't, I'm gonna end up stabbin you
In your guts, from the razor cuts
Now I'mma stick and pick until your mind goes nuts
It might sound gross and make your stomach bubble
But don't ever ever ever mess with E-Double
I'm like Jumpin Jack Flash, a spy with an eye
I do no stunts and I'm not the Fall Guy
I'm just the E, the R-I-C-K, that's all
Say some check one two's, and some yes yes y'all's
I'm the man of the hour, so truth'll be sour
(So what you sayin E?) I got "it all worked out"
So dig it, as I kick kick keep your eyes open
Cause a brother like me, is always scopin
In fact you should pack because I cut no slack
It's like that, this is the big payback
"Big payback!" (Yo!)
"Big payback!" (Yo!)
"Big payback!" (Yo!)
"Big payback!" (Yo!)
If rappin was a tribe I'd be the chief Comanche
Hat fat link, chunky ring, nothin fancy
So saddle up MC's, and off we go
It's not a rodeo, but I carry a lasso
Cause I'm back from vacation, cause suckers kept slippin
Rappin offbeat, plus they tune wasn't hittin
Don't wanna claim a style on the M-I-C
But I could go state to state, cold rip the shows with E
Cause whether I'm maxin or relaxin, waxin or taxin
Never step to a show without packin
My partners, Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson
So nothin moves funny, at the rappin session
Strictly biz and knuckles, no time for laugh or chuckles
I drop clear lyrics, while you bass I muggle
(You sniff blow?) Hell no and still flow
And save dough, more or less do a show
Nah, the only high I get, is when my fans your ho
So get the bozack, cause we back to hack
Here to let you know that it's the big payback
"Big payback!" (Yo!)
"Big payback!" (Yo!)
"Big payback!" (Yo!)
"Big payback!" (Yo!)
