[Erick Sermon] 
Open Sesame, and let down the main gate 
Before you scream EPMD, you should wait 
I roll with a posse, can you try to stop me 
Also yo, your brothers tried to pop me 
on the sneak tip, without me knowin 
so I keep goin, and my rhymes keep flowin 
On and on, and I don`t quit 
I get pushed to the limit, and yo that`s it 
Step by step, I put an end to your fun 
cause I`m the chosen one, yes me my son 
A young kid from the ghetto, a kiddie from the city 
I don`t feel sorrow, and I have no pity 
to run up on you, and wax plus tax 
Your gold, your money, and from your eyes your contacts 
Then flex over, a hop skip and a jump 
to the next town, to go punk a chump 
MC`s try to diss me, and try to bust caps 
I`m not havin it, and that means no haps Jack 
So get the bozack, and lay off the crack, cause that`s wack 
This is the big payback 
 
.. 
 
[Parrish Smith] 
As I go and flow, to a different type of tempo 
(Why MD?) C`mon E, cause P keep it simple 
Plus I`m strikin like lightnin, throwin blows like Tyson 
Slayin MC`s on the Q-T, sorta like a sniper 
So if a sucker don`t like me, the feelin is mutual 
I tune my rhyme to a low RPM, then shift to neutral 
and crack a 40 (what kind) of Olde E 
To slay an MC (how) on the Q-T 
(So what`s your name boy?) C`mon E, you know it`s M.D. 
Now while I`m wreckin he`s checkin, all the bodies that`s left and 
a pile behind the stage, the P is like steppin 
off from the scenes, I see lights and si-rens 
Witness everywhere, but no one seen a thing 
When cops ask questions, my description is vague 
No answers at all, just bodies behind the stage 
One witness yells out, that he was dressed in black 
Stupid dookie link, with a Fisherman hat 
When five-ohs ask how he fleed from the spot? 
"In a black sports car, I think it was an Iroc 
but the windows were tinted, and we couldn`t get a look" 
(Why?) There was smoke from the rubber he cooked 
The big payback 
 
.. 
 
[Erick Sermon] 
No Rome-et-oh, or Juliette romance story 
Just EPMD, the fame and the glory 
The rappin technique, somethin like fencin 
Dangerous, it keep you in suspense 
And you have to be cool, and plus have stamina 
Cause if you don`t, I`m gonna end up stabbin ya 
in your guts, from the razor cuts 
And I`ma stick and pick, until your mind goes nuts 
It might sound gross, or make your stomach bubble 
But don`t ever ever ever, mess with E Double 
I`m like Jumpin Jack Flash, a Spy with an Eye 
I do no stunts, and I`m not The Fall Guy 
I`m just the E, the R-I-C-K, that`s all 
Say some check one-twos, and some yes yes y`alls 
I`m the man of the hour, too sweet to be sour 
(So what you sayin E?) I got "Soul power!" 
So dig it, as I kick it, keep your eyes open 
Cause a brother like me, is always scopin 
In fact, you should pack, because I cut no slack 
It`s like that.. this is the big payback 
 
.. 
 
[Parrish Smith] 
If rappin was a tribe I`d be the chief commanche 
Hat fat link, chunky rings, nuttin fancy 
So saddle up MC`s, and off we go 
It`s not a rodeo, but I carry a lasso 
Cause I`m back from vacation, cause sucker kept slippin 
Rappin off-beat, plus they tune wasn`t hittin 
Don`t wanna claim a style on the M-I-C 
But I can go state to state, cold rippin shows with E 
Cause whether maxin or relaxin, waxin or taxin 
Never step to a show without packin 
my partners, Mr. Smith and Mr. Wessun 
So nothin moves funny, at the rappin session 
I`m Strictly Biz and knuckles, no time for laugh or chuckles 
I drop clear lyrics, while your bass sound muffled 
(You sniff blow?) Hell no, and still flow and say dough 
More or less do a show.. nahhh 
the only high I get, is when my fans yell HOE 
So get the bo-zack, cause we`re back to hack 
Here to let you know that it`s the big payback
