The Joint Lyrics By Epmd

    i shot the sheriff

    don’t get too close because you might get shot

    i shot the sheriff

    erick sermon
    try to answer to the master or the mc rap god is no joke
    on the lyric it’s hard to be modest
    i knew i was the man with the master plan
    to make you wiggle and jiggle like gelatin
    just think while i sink into the brain structure
    don’t sleep on the e you see somethin’ might rupture
    it don’t take time for me to blow your mind
    take a second to wreck it because you’re dumb and blind
    so just lounge cause you’re a mc clown
    go join the circus epmd’s in town

    parrish smith
    total chaos no mass confusion
    rhymes so hypnotizin’ known to cause an illusion
    like a magician who pulls a rabbit out a hat son
    i pull them all like a 44 magnum
    mc freeze stop look and listen and try to imagine
    it’s travellin’ the speed of light but everything’s motion
    is frightening plus the thought you alone
    you now enter dimension called the twilight zone
    you’re terrified plus you can’t bear the thought
    you and i oneonone in the land of the lost
    you start to shiver but then you scream my friend
    yo wake up muttley because you’re dreamin’ again
    but next time i’m on the scene do not try to diss us
    keep your mouth shut sucker duck because i’m strictly business

    hook
    i shot the sheriff

    erick sermon
    this is the rap season where the e starts pleasin’
    girls around the world no need to be skeezin’
    when i roll i stroll cool always pack a tool
    just in case a brother acts a fool
    i’ve got the energy to put the girls in the frenzy
    put it in shock when i rock give it up i’m not stingy
    make sure i don’t bore when i’m on the dance floor
    get busy boy like you never saw before
    rhyme flow good to go after the show i’ll pull your ho boy
    rhyme flow good to go after the show i’ll pull your ho boy
    rhyme flow good to go after the show i’ll pull your ho boy
    rhyme flow good to go after the show i’ll pull your ho boy
    yo you sniff blow hell no
    i got my whole life ahead of me no time to be sniffin’
    and my parents find out then they start riffin’
    so i stay aokay cause i’m the e the rick

    parrish smith
    mc’s look me in my face then their eyes get weak
    pulse rate descends heart rate increases
    it’s like beam me up scotty i control your body
    i’m as deadly as aids when it’s time to rock a party
    and all due respect when i say mic check
    let a sucker slide once then i break his neck
    so when i say jump you reply how high
    because i’m takin’ no prisoners so don’t play hero and die
    you’re just a soldier and i’m a green beret
    i do not think twice about the mc’s i slay
    so if you want to battle i highly recommend this
    bring your dog mom and dad because i’m strictly business

    hook
    i shot the sheriff

    erick sermon
    yo yo you’re still pickin’ on that fourleaf clover
    bring in the sandman sucker because it’s over
    my name is erick sermon and i’m back again
    i see the heads still turnin’ and my socalled friends
    they smile in my face behind my back they talk trash
    mad and stuff because they don’t have cash
    like the edouble or the pmd
    he drives a corvette i drive a samurai suzuki
    i’m a locksmith with the key to fame
    never high on myself always stay the same
    play a lot because i’m hot like a horse i trot
    around the track and back fatigued no i’m not

    parrish smith
    well i’m the mellow the fellow the one who likes to say hello
    to a fly girl that is good to go
    with the slow tempo and the offbeat rhyme flow
    cause when i am in action there is no time for maxin’
    or relaxin’ just reactin’ and subtractin’
    on a sucker mc who mouth keeps on yappin’ and flappin’
    i lose my cool then i’ll start slappin’ and smackin’
    you wanna roll then albee start jackin’ and cappin’
    no time to lounge i’m packin’ and strappin’
    at my point of attack i soar at you like an eagle
    i’m the sheriff and bitin’ is illegal
    so next time in town i highly recommend this
    you gots to chill because i’m strictly business
