Lyrics
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, the mass confusion, EPMD's in town 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 the E) You see, somethin' might rupture 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, cause you're an MC clown Go join the circus: EPMD's in town Total chaos, the mass confusion Rhymes so hypnotizing known to cause an illusion Like a magician, he draws a rabbit out a hat, son I draw 'em 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 one-on-one in the Land of the Lost You fuckin' shiver, then you scream, my friend 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 shut: sucker, duck, because I'm Strictly Business I-I-I shot the sheriff (Don't get too close because you might get shot) I-I shot the sheriff (Don't get too close because you might get shot) I shot the sheriff (Don't get too close because you might get shot) I-I shot the sheriff (Don't get too close because you might get shot) Don't get too close because you might get shot Don't get too close because you might get shot Don't get too close because you might get shot Don't get too close because you might get shot I shot the sheriff (Don't get too close because you might get shot) I-I shot the sheriff (Don't get too close because you might get sho-)
