[PMD] 
Ayo  what's up E Double? 

[Erick Sermon] 
Yo  whole thing man  got a lot of customers out there man  trying 
to get paid off what we made. 

[PMD] 
Ayo  rapping ain't your field  you took the wrong trade. So you'd 
better get a grip on them lips  and get off the... 

[P] Ayo yo yo  I be the P twice E M D 
[E] I be the E double E in the place to be 
[P] Ayo what up E man  we in there man? 
[E] You know we in there, trying to get paid, know what I'm saying? 
[P] Yo, we gotta step out hard this year 
[E] Pee check this out, this is how it's going down 

[Erick Sermon] 
There was a Hardy Boy mystery you were trying to solve 
Can't understand why you got involved 
Here's a clue, try the ghetto master blaster 
Now think who causes disaster 
Clue number two, you give up? 
I figured, it was K La Boss on the cut 
He had help, sucker duck, now that's clue number three 
You wrong, cause it was EPMD 

[PMD] 
MC's, get off the bandwagon 
I'm not bragging, but tagging 
And snagging the biter that tries to imitate 
Time to go on strike and demonstrate 
On the fo, that does not N-O 
That if he pulls my card, I'm good to flow 
Toe to toe, blow to blow, without H2O 
Ayo, you want to battle? I'm good to G-O 

Get off the bandwagon (Repeat 2x) 

[Erick Sermon] 
This ain't a blast from the past, it's a boomer from the future 
Feel free to scream "Ho" or "Yo" if it suits you 
While the bass is booming and your face is glooming 
Saying the E double E is def, you're not assuming 
They're only one of many that think a jealous fellow 
Say "yep" then step cause I'm cooler 

[PMD] 
Say "Hmmm" now you're through, you're how not who 
Before I'm gluing that butt like Krazy Glue 
I roll into the party as if I was Five-O 
Book investigation biters like Columbo 
Pushing rap for some info in exchange for a jumbo 
And when I find a sucker it's time to play Rambo 
Or play Commando, you know? 
I knew it was the sucker with the New Jack-ified afro 
We rock rhymes then we we run em a while 
Sucker MC's catch on, then they bite our style 
They're confused, dazed, and amused 
Sweating and thing because their rhymes are used 
Seen us in the crowd then they own their cost 
They run around like a chicken with their heads cut off 

Get off the bandwagon (Repeat 2x) 

[Erick Sermon] 
While my volume was swaying, you were saying 
"Who was that brother?" while the record was playing 
I felt kinda happy like an ego trip 
I had to laugh cause my energy's tip 
My tradition is dissing in this position 
And right about now I'm in perfect condition 
And don't get mad, and don't stop hissing 
Don't say nothing homeboy just listen 

[PMD] 
No talk or playing, sucker MC's I be slaying 
Get off the bandwagon, you know what I'm saying? 
I devastate the hip-hop scene 
Keep the feet moving like a dancing machine 
E got my back (yeah) K La Boss on the scratch 
You wild on the groove with the beat on wax 
I'm in my own world, no room for distraction 
Controlling MC's while La Boss keeps scratching 

Get off the bandwagon (Repeat 2x)
