[Verse 1] Comin' through, comin' through, like taxi cabs in rush hour From uptown to the Twin Towers Makin' a statement, once again, with no replacement Erick Sermon comin' from the basement I leave you blown away like Jeff Bridges Mind boggling, cuttin' through ya brain like a pair of scizzors When you see me at a show, don't bother grabbin' this microphone I'm terra-fabulous with out it, holmes Spritually, I'm like the holy ghost I bring joy, to the average girl and boy Def Squad, we got more faith than dick-ruckers I feel sorry for any crew out there tryin to fuck us I blind MCs, like Ray Charles while I'm drinking Pepsi Which will kill(?), so don't test me The super supreme, mackadose, ya host Erick Sermon, representin for my coast
