Testo Crossover - EPMD
Testo della canzone Crossover (EPMD), tratta dall'album Business Never Personal
Whatever you want (oh-oh)
Whatever you need (he-hey)
I wanna do it for you, I do
Whatever you want (oh-oh)
Whatever you need (he-hey)
I wanna do it for you, I do
Erick Sermon's in the house
Let's get up, let's get down
Roll with the hardcore funk, the hardcore sound (yeah)
Let's get wit' this, mackadocious funk material
So simple, when I rock wit' the instrumental
Who am I? (E-D the Green Eyed Bandit)
Control my career so I can never get stranded
But the rest are gettin' Brand Nubian
Changed up they style, from jeans to suits and
Thinking about a pop record, somethin' made for the station
For a whole new relation (yeah)
Ship of a new type of scene
To go platinum and clock mad green
AKA, a sellout, the rap definition
Get off that boy, change your mission
Come back around the block
Pump Color Me Badd to the ah, ticktock
Let them know your logo, not a black thing
My background sing, my background sing for the crossover
Whatever you want (oh-oh)
Whatever you need (he-hey)
I wanna do it for you, I do
The crossover
Whatever you want (oh-oh)
Whatever you need (he-hey)
I wanna do it for you, I do
The rap era's outta control, brother's sellin' their soul
To go gold, going, going, gone, another rapper sold
(To who?) To pop and R'n'B, not the MD
I'm strictly hip-hop, I'll stick to Kid Capri
Funk mode, yeah, kid, that's how the Squad rolls
I know your head is bobbin' 'cause the neck knows
(Not like other rappers) frontin' on they fans, they ill
Trying to chill, saying "Damn, it be great to sell a mill"
That's when the mind switch to the pop tip
(Kid, you're gonna be large)
Yeah right, that's what the company kicks
Forget the black crowds, you're wack now
In a zoot suit, frontin' black lookin' mad foul
I speak for the hardcore (rough, rugged and raw)
I'm outta here, catch me chillin' on my next tour
From the US to the white cliffs of Dover
Strictly underground funk, keep the crossover
Whatever you want (oh-oh)
Whatever you need (he-hey)
I wanna do it for you, I do
Crossover
Whatever you want (oh-oh)
Whatever you need (he-hey)
I wanna do it for you, I do
(So whatcha sayin') you wanna go pop goes the weasel
You know you should be rocking the fans with something diesel
But you insist to piss me off black
So I flex the biceps so I can push 'em back
So real hardcore hip-hop continue wreck it
And all sucker MCs duck down and get the message
So ban the crossover, yo, who's with me?
(Hit Squad) yeah, P, hit me
Another megablast funky dope style from cross yonder
(So help me Rhonda, help, help me Rhonda)
(Yo, from what?) The crossover, yeah, crossing you over
Outta here, gone, peace, nice to know ya (see ya)
What a way to go out, no clout is what the fans will shout
'Cause you got gassed and took the wrong route
Came on the scene, chillin', freakin' a funky dope line
But when they finish with you (beep) flatline
Some say, "There's no business like show business"
But if that's the truth, please explain why is this
Rap has been around long, makin' mad noise, you see
Still, I haven't seen one rapper livin' comfortably
No time to pick and wish on a four-leaf clover
I stick to underground, keep the crossover
Whatever you want (oh-oh)
Whatever you need (he-hey)
I wanna do it for you, I do
Crossover
Whatever you want (oh-oh)
Whatever you need (he-hey)
I wanna do it for you, I do
