Yeah time to put it down E 
Time to put it down E 
EPMD Millineum Ducats DefCon 9 2 G's 
Uh huh yeah 

Yeah it's like this why'all it's like that why'all 
It's like this why'all it's like that why'all 
It's like this why'all it's like that why'all 
Ay E Dub check it out 

MC's out there, you better stand clear 
EPMD is a world premier 
From New York straight talk, America's best 
Cold wild Long Island, is where we rest 

Style of the rap, makes your hands clap 
Take care of myself because the lines are strapped 
Day mean business, no time for play 
If you bite a line, we'll roll your way 
The more you bite, your body gets hot 
Don't get too close, because you might get shot 
Gnawin at my rhyme like a poisonous rat 
Don't play Dumbo, you're smarter than that 

It's my thing 

The rhythmatic style, keeps the rhyme flowin 
Good friends already bitin, without you knowin 
Can't understand, why your body's gettin weaker 
Then you realize, it's the voice from the speaker 
The mind become delirious, situation serious 
Don't get ill, go and get curious 

Nuff about that, let's get on to somethin better 
And if gets warm, take off the hot sweater 
And if you want some water, I'll get you a cup 
And if you don't want it, then burn the hell up 
I'm tellin you now boy, you ain't jack 
Talkin much junk like Mr. T at your back 
but he's not, so don't act cute 
Cause if you do you in hot pursuits 

It's my thing 

As the song goes on you will notice a change 
The way I throw down, the way I say my name 
The mic that I'm packin, is flame resistant 
So MC be cool, and keep your distance 
When I walk into the party girls are screamin at me 
I park my mic and my hoes, and then I yell FREEZE.. 
Music please 

Ah where was I? Oh yes 
Say a def rhyme then I plumb the rest 
Everytime I rock a rhyme I can tell that you like it 
Emotion is strong, like the mind of a psychic 
The mind is weary, floatin like a dove 
Sweating and things, like cause you was makin love 
Control the crowd, so they can accept it 
Total concentration is the perfect method 

It's my thing 

The wack I subtract, the strong I attack 
The ones who grab the mic and freeze, I throw it back 
I perfect and eject, make MC's sweat 
Take em off on the mic then I tell em step 
Not waiting or debating, cause MC's keep hating 
Play me too close, like two dogs mating 

Now let's get on with the rest of the lesson 
Don't really like it when suckers start messin 
Tryin to make a scene, talkin very loud 
Talkin much junk to attract a crowd 
You say you want to battle, your first mistake 
You get quiet and stuff, like you was at a wake 
In the beginnin, you knew you wasn't winnin 
Now you feel ashamed, your head starts bendin 
Kinda upset boy -- I understand 
You lost again -- I won, god damn 

It's my thing 

My funky fresh lyrics, put you in the spirit 
I speak a little louder for you suckers can't hear it 
The rhymes I designed, are right on time 
and at the crowd on my mic, flash a danger sign 
Cause I'm the Thriller of Manilla, MC cold killer 
Drink Budweiser, cannot stand Miller 
MC's cold clockin til the party's through 
then they tap me on my shoulder and say, "This Bud's for you" 

To be a real MC, you can't be obedient 
To be smooth is the main ingredient 
You have to be silky like a Milky Way 
To be able to make it work, you rest and play 
I control the pace of the rate the rhymes blowin 
Hydraulically jacked, is the way they're flowin 
Slow yes, just like they're awed 
The comparison is wave like the motion of water, smooth.. 

While the record is spinnin, got your fly girlie grinnin 
MD is on the mic, you know I'm only beginnin 
Rhymes fresher than fresh, never heard me fess 
Scored 110, on my MC test 
My rhymes are strong than Tyson, hold a MC license 
When I grab the mic, MC's get frightened 

I'm dangerous, I'm here to crush some bones 
Lounge homeboy you in the danger zone 
What I mean by lounge, I don't mean bitin, huh 
You mess around, and we'll be fightin 
It's alright if you bite, but don't recite 
because the rhymes are mine, and that ain't right 
But until just chill to the next episode 
Donald J, yo, release the code 

It's my thing 
 
Erick and Parrish millennium Ducats 
All the way live, 2 G's, 2 G's, 5 G's 
New legacy
