Never Seen Before Lyrics by EPMD

Out of Business

1997

[Intro: Erick Sermon, PMD & Kurtis Blow]
Peace to Chuck
Chuck D
Yeah, uh
"One, two, three– ooh– ha"
You're not tellin' em, huh? Yeah

[Verse 1: Erick Sermon & PMD]
They go ohh and ahh when I jump in my car
People treat me like Kareem Abdul Jabbar
When I'm supreme rap star, they all know me
E.D., when I flash the greens on TV
MC's be robbin' me, of my technique
The way I speak, the way I get down, the way I sound
And if you axe/ask me, they must be on the jock
Of the innovator (One, two), rock roll bounce to skater
Okay, fuck it, enough with the tight shit, grab the mic quick
Hollywood niggas, put it down spit some hype shit
EPMD Erick and Parrish, Makin' Dollars (Yeah)
With the rap scholars keep the show packed like funeral parlours
Deadly, murderous I know you heard of us
Holdin' shit down on the block, nobody servin us (Yeah, son)
The E Double and Mic Doc, Boondox
Def Jam's off the meter yo, this shit is hot

[Chorus: PMD, Erick Semon & The D.O.C.]
Never seen before, or heard before the uncut raw
(I'm Erick Sermon, yeah) And I'm Parrish Smith
Never seen before, or heard before the uncut raw ("Yeah, ha")
(Yeah, I'm Erick Sermon) And I'm Parrish Smith
(Check it)

[Verse 2: Erick Sermon & PMD]
Now I'm back with the flyest material
Mic Doc and E Dub the Grand Imperial
My mic's deadly, so I scratched off the serial
And stashed it, until I have to kill at will
Keep it movin' (Aha), yes, it's me in the flesh
It's no illusion, fuck around and catch minor contusions
Whatever, I'm Smokin Joe when it comes to rap
I'm a pro-fessional, Tiger Woods I'm good
Time to black out, no doubt, people wanna know about
The inside scoop with the group, and are they comin' out
Damn skippy I'm tipsy, high like a hippie
Don't take drinks from strangers cause niggas slip mickies
That's why I stay on Q/cue, like Omar Epps in J-U
I-C-E so chill and bust the debut
In rare form the false alarm's the Mic Don's
Back in effect, snap that neck, the P's gone

[Chorus: PMD, Erick Semon & The D.O.C.]
Never seen before, or heard before the uncut raw
(I'm Erick Sermon) And I'm Parrish Smith
Never seen before, or heard before the uncut raw ("Yeah, ha")
(Yeah, I'm Erick Sermon) And I'm Parrish Smith

[Verse 3: Erick Sermon, PMD, Erick Sermon & PMD]
Never say never, what? EPMD's back together
And if it gets warm take off the hot sweater
Flip the ill slick flow-flow. Watch us throw, throw
Down with the other brothers toe to toe
And if ya slow ya blow, that's why we comin' with the ammo
Yo ten year veterans, a thousand rap sessions
Yeah, the hard rockers, the crowd shockers
The head knockers, yeah, EPMD's off the rockers

[Chorus: PMD, Erick Semon & The D.O.C.]
Never seen before, or heard before the uncut raw
(I'm Erick Sermon) And I'm Parrish Smith
Never seen before, or heard before the uncut raw ("Yeah, ha")
(Yeah, I'm Erick Sermon) And I'm Parrish Smith
Never seen before, or heard before the uncut raw
(I'm Erick Sermon) And I'm Parrish Smith
Never seen before, or heard before the uncut raw ("Yeah, ha")
(I'm Erick Sermon) And I'm Parrish Smith

[Outro: Erick Sermon & PMD]
Yeah, uh, uh, huh, yeah-yeah
Dude, whassup?
Yeah that was dope, word up
EPMD for Nine-What, whatever, yeah, ha-ha, ha-ha, ha-ha
Sample this shit, word up, ha-ha
