<pre>I shot- I shot- I shot- I shot- I shot | <pre>I shot- I shot- I shot- I shot- I shot the sheriff | ||
Think while I sink, into the brain structure | |||
Think while I sink | |||
Chaos, | Chaos, the mass confusion, EPMD's in town | ||
Total chaos, | Total chaos, the mass confusion | ||
Rhymes so hypnotiz- EPMD's in town. Don't- EPMD's in town | |||
Just think while I sink, into the brain structure | |||
Don't sleep on | (Don't sleep on the E) You see, somethin' might rupture | ||
It don't take time for me to blow your mind | It don't take time for me to blow your mind | ||
Now take a second to wreck it because you're dumb and blind | |||
So just lounge | So just lounge, cause you're an MC clown | ||
Go join the circus: EPMD's in town | |||
Total chaos, | Total chaos, the mass confusion | ||
Rhymes so hypnotizing known to cause an illusion | Rhymes so hypnotizing known to cause an illusion | ||
Like a magician | Like a magician, he draws a rabbit out a hat, son | ||
I' | I draw 'em all like a .44 Magnum | ||
MC | MC, freeze: stop, look, and listen, and try to imagine | ||
It's travellin' the speed of light | It's travellin' the speed of light, | ||
But everything' motion | But everything's motion is frightening, plus the thought you alone | ||
You now enter dimension called the Twilight Zone | |||
You now enter | |||
You're terrified, plus you can't bear the thought | You're terrified, plus you can't bear the thought | ||
You and I one-on-one in the | You and I one-on-one in the Land of the Lost | ||
You | You fuckin' shiver, then you scream, my friend | ||
You wake up | You 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 | Keep your mouth shut: sucker, duck, because I'm Strictly Business | ||
I shot the sheriff | I-I-I shot the sheriff (Don't get cool because you might get shot) | ||
I shot the sheriff | I-I shot the sheriff (Don't get cool because you might get shot) | ||
I shot the sheriff | I shot the sheriff (Don't get cool because you might get shot) | ||
I shot the sheriff | I-I shot the sheriff (Don't get cool because you might get shot) | ||
' | Don't get cool because you might get shot | ||
' | Don't get cool because you might get shot | ||
' | Don't get cool because you might get shot | ||
' | Don't get cool because you might get shot | ||
I shot the sheriff | I shot the sheriff (Don't get cool because you might get shot) | ||
I shot the sheriff | I-I shot the sheriff (Don't get cool because you might get sho-)</pre> | ||
