I'm Housin' - EPMD

Coolin' on the scene like a horse in a stable

A brother got ill and tried to snatch a fat cable

I stepped back, like it wasn’t no thing

Punched him in the jaw with the fat gold ring

I had an ace in the hole when it came to that

(Yo P you was packin'?) You know I’m strapped

Posse kept rollin' it was hard to get with 'em

So I stepped back, and unbuttoned my Lee denim

They kept coming, just like I figured

So I stepped back, and started sprayin' niggas

What a way to go out, out like a sucker

But I’m on track, like a Long Island train conductor

That can head on a mission, suckers who be dissing

Always on my jock like a snake always hissing

Grabbing and tapping me like Luther Vandross

Take me to the bar for the drink and make a toast

Givin' best wishes to the best MC

The E the D-O-U-B-L-E

Because I’m housin'

Coolin at a party, no better yet disco

Head feelin mellow from a bottle of Cisco

Move

To crush and fry a sucker MC like crisco

Every chance I get, I try to kill

That’s one less sucker new jack, who tried to act ill

I keep the place jumpin' 'til the party’s through

Whether it’s disco, hardcore, or rhythm and blues

Take off your coat, won’t you stay a while

Check out the voice that is smooth and mild

It’s like

Wheel of Fortune

, go on for big money

Come cold rock the party, and leave with your honey

Gimme the cue, check one two

Don’t try to come off on me, because you doo-doo

Treatin me the E Doubl-E, like a stepchild

Well let me tell you homeboy you’re livin' foul

MCs, you know who you are

(On the bandwagon) Why P?

(Cause you a star)

This is the year that when the joker’s are wild

When a fag can’t hack it and try to bite the style

I get hip to the scheme, before it happens

If it gets wild, then I start cappin'

But for now, since everything’s calm

Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb

As I proceed to rock, the girls are clockin'

Some brothers act hard but the rest are jockin'

Because I’m housin'

I come on strong, like a bodybuilder

Cast a spell upon a sucker, like witch Matilda

Deliver a rhyme like Federal Express

My intention’s not to dis, but impress

For ladies and gents, who money was spent

To see the E-P-Double-E-M-D (yes the main event)

In concert… not worried bout oohs and boos (because we do work)

To make your body jerk

(To make your girl want to leave her man and start to flirt

With the P) Double-E MD Double E’n

I’m not skeezing, but pleasing

All party goers, also behind show-ers

Who like the not, fast slow flow of rhymes that form in my dome

Out the mouth, to the microphone

Because I’m housin'
