EPMD - It's My Thing lyrics
Your rating:
New York straight talk America's best Cold Wild Long Island is where we rest The style of the rap makes your hands clap Take care sucker 'cause the lines are strapped They mean business no time for play If you bite a line they blow you away The more you bite your body gets hot Don't get too cold because you might get shot Knowin' that my rhyme's like a poisonous rat Don't play dumb boy, you're smarter than that It's my thing The rhythmatic style keeps the rhymes flowin' The friends already bitin' without you knowin' You can't understand why your body's gettin' weaker Then you realize it's the voice from the speaker The mind becomes delirious Situation serious Don't get ill, go and get curious Enough about that, let's get on to somethin' better And if it gets warm, take off the hot sweater And if you want some water, I'll get you a cup And if you don't wantit, then burn the hell up I'm tellin' ya now, boy, you ain't jack Talkin' that junk like Mr. T is your back But he's not So don't act cute 'Cause if we do, you in high pursuit 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 mike that I'm packin' is flame resistant So M.C.s be cool, and keep your distance When I walk into the party, girls are screamin' at me I park my mike in my holst' and the I yell, "Freeze" Music please Oh, where was I? Oh, yes Say a def rhyme then I burn the rest Everytime I rock a rhyme, I can tell that you like it The emotion is strong, like the mind of a psychic The mind is weary, floatin' like a dove Sweatin' the thing just like if you was makin' love Control the crowd so they can accept it Total concentration, it's the perfect method It's my thing The wack I subtract The strong I attack The ones who got the mike and freeze, I throw back I perfect and eject make M.C.s sweat Take 'em off on the mike then I tell 'em "Step" Not waiting or debating cause M.C.s keep hatin' Play me too close like two dogs mating Now let's get on with the rest of the lesson I don't really like it when suckers start messin' Tryin' to make a scene, talkin' very loud Talkin' more junk to attract a crowd You say you won the battle, your first mistake You get the quietest stuff like you was at a wake In the beginnin', ya knew ya wasn't winnin' Now you for shame, your hair starts bendin' Kind of upset, boy, I understand You lost again, I won goddamn It's my thing My funky fresh lyrics put you in a spirit I speak a little louder for you suckers can't hear it The rhymes I design are right on time And at the crown of the mike, I flash a danger sign 'Cause I'm the thrilla of Manila, M.C. cold-killa Drink Budweiser, cannot stand Miller M.C.s cold-clockin' till the party's through Then they tap me on my shoulder, say "This Bud's for You" To be a real M.C. 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 goin' How loud I project and to where they're flowin' Slow, yes, just like they're oil The comparison is wave like the motion of water Smooth It's my thing While the record is spinnin' Got your fly-girly grinnin' MD is on the mike, ya know I'm only beginnin' Rod's fresh and fresh, you never heard me fess Scored a 110 on my M.C. test My rhymes are stronger than Tyson Hold an M.C. license When I grab the mike M.C.s get frightened I'm dangerous I need a cross and bones Lounge, homeboy, you in the danger zone What I mean by lounge, I don't mean bitin' Huh, ya mess around and we'll be fightin' It's all right if ya bite but don't recite Because the rhymes are mine and that ain't right But until then, just chill to the next episode Donald J, yo, release the close It's my thing
