Lyrics

Just think while I sink, into the brain structure
Just think while I sink...

Chaos, no mass confusion, EPMD in town
Total chaos, no mass confusion
Rhymes so hypnotiz- (EPMD in town) Total (EPMD in town)
Total- Just think while I sink, into the brain structure
(Don't sleep on the e) you see, something might rupture
I 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 in town

Total chaos, no mass confusion
Rhymes so hypnotizing known to cause an illusion
Like a magician, he draws a rabbit out a hat, son
I draw them all like a .44 Magnum
MC freeze stop look and listen, and try to imagine
Its traveling 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 cant bear the thought
You and I one-on-one, in the land of the lost
You start to shiver, but then you scream, my friend
Yo wake up muttley, because you're dreaming 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
