[Erick Sermon] 
Uh huh 

[Parrish Smith] 
Yo it's the return (uh huh) Parrish Smith and Erick Serm' 
Kid don't mess with fire because you will get burned 
Cause we earn respective checks  regulated when a nigga flex 
to get a rep totin mack 10's and techs 
Hoes and sex  weed and Beck's  and first class flights 
You name it  niggaz had it  and still got it 
Always rhymin with a pardon 
like Roxanne I'm about to cold _Get Retarded_ 
You know the logo, and on mics, sometimes we flow slow 
Not loco, universal, type vocal 
Mogul, so don't make me wild out and have to show you 
who I am, strapped with E-Double my man 
Back in Business once again, plus we backed by Def Jam 

This is the funk (huh) comin out of your trunk 
Erick and Parrish for years we've been makin it thump 
From East to West coast, EPMD you pump 
Icons in hip-hop, takin MC's to lunch 
Cause it's the funk (funk funk) comin out of your trunk 
Erick and Parrish for years we've been makin it thump 
From East to West coast, EPMD you pump 
Icons in hip-hop, takin MC's to lunch 

[Erick Sermon] 
Aiyyo it's E the Elusive, comin through with a dope exclusive 
Hawkin niggaz, like I'm Yusef 
Gettin down, makin it happen for those who don't believe 
the incomporable, comin through stompin you 
My Squad is Def, and we don't hear nuttin 
I'm in the back of the crib, on the green puttin 
I be the boss in this, who the f*ck comin through torchin this 
ball your fists up quick 
I'm the black Bill Gates, my chips be Micro 
Bad like Michael, don't make me fight you 
You a hater, and my crew don't like you 
On the real you suck, who the hell hyped you? 
You a comic Russell would say good night too 
at the Def Jam, screw you and your man 
Rock the house like BizMark, if so let the fifth spark 
sometime after dark 

[Parrish Smith] 
This is the funk (funk) comin out of your trunk 
Erick and Parrish for years we've been makin it thump 
From East to West coast, EPMD you pump 
Icons in hip-hop, takin MC's to lunch 
Cause it's the funk (funk) comin out of your trunk 
Erick and Parrish for years we've been makin it thump 
From East to West coast, EPMD you pump 
Icons in hip-hop, takin MC's to lunch
