Big Payback - EPMD

Aiyyo whassup E double?

Yo whassup man?

Yo these crab MC’s got us trapped up behind these walls man

But I’m ready to break out of here and do this, you know what I’m saying?

So whats the magic word?

Open sesame and let down the main gate

Before you screamed EPMD, you shouldn’t wait

I roll with a posse, hey you tried to stop me Also yo, your brothers tried to pop me On the sneak tip, without me knowing

So I keep going, and my rhymes keep flowing

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 the 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 contacts

Then flex over, a hop skip and a jump

To the next town, to go punk a chump

MC’s try to diss me, and try to bust caps

I’m not having it, and that means no haps jack

So get the bozack, only off the crack, 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 MD?

Come on E, the P keeps it simple

Plus I’m striking like lightning, throwing blows like Tyson

Slaying MC’s on the QT, sorta like a sniper

So if a sucker don’t like me, the feeling is mutual

I took my rhyme to a lower RPM, then shift to neutral

Then crack a 40, what kind of old E To slay an MC how, on the QT

So whats your name boy?

Come on, you know its MD

So while I’m wrecking he’s checking, all the bodies that’s left and

A pile behind the stage, the P is like stepping

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 yells out, that he was dressed in black

Stupid dookie link, with a fisherman hat

A cop said, «Yo, howd he flee from the spot?»

In a black sports car, I think it was an iroc

But the windows were tinted, and we couldnt get a look

Why?

There was smoke from the rubber he cooked the big payback

No rome-et-oh, or Juliette romance story

Just EMPD, the fame and the glory

The rapping technique, something like fencing, dangerous

It keeps you in suspense

And you have to be cool, and plus have stamina

'Cause if you don’t, I’m gonna end up stabbing ya In your guts, from the razor cuts

And I’ma stick and pick, until your mind goes nuts

It might sound gross, or make your stomach bubble

But don’t never ever ever, mess with E double

I’m like Jumping 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

Did some check one-twos, and some yes yes y’alls

I’m the man of the hour, sweet to be sour

So what you saying E?

I got soul power

So dig it, as I kick it, keep your eyes open

'Cause a brother like me, is always scoping

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 rapping was a tribe ID be the chief commanche

Had fat link, chunky rings, nutting 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 slipping

Rapping off-beat, plus your tunes wasn’t hitting

They wanna claim a style on the M I C But I can rotate the state, cold ripping shows with E

'Cause whether maxing or relaxing, waxing or taxing

Never step to a show without packing

My partners, Mr. Smith and Mr. Wessun

So nothing moves funny, at the rapping session

I’m strictly biz and knuckles, no time for laugh or chuckles

I drop clear lyrics, while your bass sound muffled

You sniff blow?

Hell no, and still flow and say go More or less do a show, nah

The only high I get, is when my fans yell hoe

So get the bo-zack, because were 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 Yeah, that’s right man, big payback in eighty-nine

You know what I’m saying

EPMDs in effect on the unfinished business tip

and Tony, snapping necks

Yo, yo, yo Yo, yo, yo Yo, yo, yo
