Lyrics

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...
