<pre>I shot- I shot- I shot- I shot- I shot- the sheriff | |||
Don't drink while I sing, keyed up in shelter | |||
Don't drink while I sing | |||
Chaos, no mass confusion, EPMD's in town | |||
Total chaos, no mass confusion | |||
Bronx'll hit the dot, EPMD's in town. Don't - EPMD's in town | |||
Don't drink while I sing, keyed up in shelter | |||
Don't sleep on it either, You see something might rupture | |||
It don't take time for me to blow your mind | |||
It take a second to wreck it because you're dumb and blind | |||
So just lounge. 'Cause you're a MC clown | |||
Or join the circus. EPMD's in town | |||
Total chaos, no mass confusion | |||
Rhymes so hypnotizing known to cause an illusion | |||
Like a magician who draws a rabbit out a hat, son | |||
I'm drawin' more, like a 44-Magnum | |||
MC's please stop, look, and listen and try to imagine | |||
It's travellin' the speed of light | |||
But everything' motion it's frightening | |||
Plus the thought of you alone | |||
You now enter the dimension called the Twilight Zone | |||
You're terrified, plus you can't bear the thought | |||
You and I one-on-one in the land of the lost | |||
You start to shiver, then you scream, my friend | |||
You wake up, Muttley, because you're dreamin' again | |||
Next time I'm on the scene, do not try to diss us | |||
Keep your mouth suckered up, because I'm Strictly Business | |||
I shot the sheriff...'ful because you might get shot... | |||
I shot the sheriff...'ful because you might get shot... | |||
I shot the sheriff...'ful because you might get shot... | |||
I shot the sheriff...'ful because you might get shot... | |||
'ful because you might get shot... | |||
'ful because you might get shot... | |||
'ful because you might get shot... | |||
'ful because you might get shot... | |||
I shot the sheriff...'ful because you might get shot... | |||
I shot the sheriff...'ful because you might get shot...</pre> | |||
