Never Seen Before
EPMD Lyrics

They go oh and when I jump in my car
Whenever I enter my car, people go 'oh' in amazement.

People treat me like Kareem Abdul Jabbar
People idolize me, like they idolize Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

When I'm supreme rap star, they all know me
I am a world-renowned rapper, known and admired by all.

E.D., when I flash the greens on TV
I am E.D, and when I display my wealth on TV, everyone is aware.

MC's be robbing me, of my technique
Rappers try to copy my style and skills, taking away my uniqueness.

The way I speak, the way I get down, the way I sound
My distinctive way of speaking, performing and producing music makes me stand out.

And if you axe/ask me, they must be on the jock
In my opinion, they are all being unduly influenced by me.

Of the innovator (one two), rock roll bounce to skater
I am an innovator, with music that appeals to everyone, from the rock and roll crowd, to skateboarders.

OK fuck it, enough with the tight shit, grab the mic quick
Enough of being polite, it's time to get aggressive, and take the microphone.

Hollywood niggas, put it down spit some hype shit
Hollywood rappers, come on stage and perform in front of the audience, spitting out some hyped lyrics.

EPMD Erick and Parrish, Making Dollars
EPMD Erick and Parrish are making a lot of money with their music.

With the rap scholars keep the show packed like funeral parlors
With the help of reputable guest rappers, EPMD is attracting large crowds to their concerts.

Deadly, murderous I know you heard of us
Our music is so powerful and famous, that you must have heard of us already.

Holding shit down on the block, nobody serving us (yeah son)
We are the kings of the street, no one has power over us.

Check it, now I'm back with the fliest material
I am back with the most stylish and best-quality music.

Mic Doc and E Dub the Grand Imperial
I am Mic Doc, and E Dub is the grand imperial.

My mic's deadly, so I scratched off the serial
My microphone is so lethal that I had to remove its serial number, to avoid any legal troubles.

And stashed it, until I have to kill at will
I have safely kept my microphone, until I need to use it to prove my skills and ability.

Time to black out, no doubt, people wanna know about
It is time to become aggressive, and assert ourselves on the stage, as people become curious about us.

The inside scoop with the group, and are they comin out
People are eager to know about the details of the group, and about their upcoming performance.

Damn skippy I'm tipsy, high like a hippie
Yes, I am feeling high, and out of my mind like a hippie.

Don't take drinks from strangers cause niggaz slip mickies
I am warning everyone not to take drinks from strangers, as they could contain drugs, that can knock you out very quickly.

That's why I stay on Q/cue, like Omar Epps in J-U
That's why I remain alert, and focused, like Omar Epps on the TV show, Juice.

I-C-E so chill and bust the debut
I.C.E is chilled out and ready to perform for the first time in front of the audience.

In rare form the false alarm's the Mic Don's
In an unusual way, I am mistaken for a false alarm, but my microphone skills prove the critics wrong.

Back in effect, snap that neck, the P's gone
We are here to rock again, energizing the audience, while making sure they exercise their necks all the way to the end.

Never say never
Don't give up hope, anything is possible.

What? EPMD's back together
EPMD is performing together again after a long break.

And if it gets warm take off the hot sweater
When the music heats up, you may need to shed some layers.

Flip the ill slick flow (flow)
Put on a new and awesome, smooth performance.

Watch us throw (throw)
Watch us throw down an incredible performance.

Down with the other brothers toe to toe
We are in league with other great artists, and we are ready to compete head to head.

And if ya slow ya blow
If you can't keep up, you will be left behind.

That's why we coming with the ammo
That's why we are well equipped to perform our best.

Yo ten year veterans
We are experienced performers, with ten years of experience in the industry.

A thousand rap sessions
We have had countless successful performances.

Yeah the hard rockers
We are tough and daring performers.

The crowd shockers
We know how to excite and surprise our audience.

The head knockers
Our music is powerful, and can really make your head bob.
