I'm That N***a
Erick Sermon Lyrics

Yo, I'm Moses the Lawgiver
I am a lyrical leader and authority like Moses in the Bible

Let's suppose I flow like the river when I deliver
My rhymes come naturally and effortlessly like the flow of a river

Sssssss, poison snake, words that quiver
My words are sharp and deadly like a venomous snake

Yep the face Michael saw was me up in the mirror, boo
I am so good looking that Michael Jackson saw his own reflection when he looked at me

Stand clear when the E is rappin
I am such a force to be reckoned with that people need to step aside when I start rapping

Like, Martin and D, What's the Worst Can Happen?
Just like in the movie What's the Worst That Could Happen?, I am unstoppable and come out on top

Brooklyn can start cappin, Uptown can start robbin
My rhymes have the power to start chaos and crime in different areas of New York City.

Queens, gangsta lean with green
People in Queens represent gangsta, hustler lifestyle with their success.

Word to Shaolin, I represent for Long Island
I pay homage to Wu Tang Clan's Shaolin while also representing Long Island

Brand new with revenue my crew puts it down
My crew and I are successful and making money with a fresh, new sound

I'm the man you never knew, who holds the crown
I am the underrated king of rap who goes unrecognized by many

I'm the KING, psych, that's Run and D
I am not the real king of rap, but rather that title belongs to Run and DMC

I ruled everything from eighty-eight to ninety-three
I was one of the biggest and most successful rappers during this five-year period

My Squad ruled after me, mo' better
My crew, Def Squad, took over the rap game and did it even better than I did

Then the game locked me down like Nelson Mandela
I had to serve time in prison like Nelson Mandela did for standing up for what I believed in

Now I'm back with a vengeance like who killed my father
I am back with a vengeance like a character in a martial arts movie seeking revenge for my father's death

In some karate flick, with a roundhouse kick
I am like a character in a karate movie who would use a roundhouse kick to defeat his enemies

I'm built for this shit like the pyramids in Egypt
I was made for the rap game like the pyramids were built for the pharaohs

I'm so cold I touch hot water and freeze it
I am icy and cold like a supernatural phenomenon

E I rock with the blood of Jesus
I am blessed and protected by God when I perform

Cover my body my technique is MURDA, Irv Gotti
My rhyming technique is deadly and can kill like a notorious mob boss, Irv Gotti

This lyrical seminar got my signature
My rhymes are so powerful that people recognize my signature style

Written in black, gangsta what the hell you think?

Def Squad baby baby, Double Trouble, Wild Style
I represent Def Squad and the classic hip-hop movies Double Trouble and Wild Style

My gun goes, BLAOW BLAOW, soundin like an M 80
My gun makes a loud, explosive sound like an M 80 fireworks

And those comin for mine without consent
People who come after me without permission will face consequences

Leave you bent like a block of hash from Ken's stash
I will leave my enemies bent and defeated like a block of hashish from Ken's secret stash

I'm important to rap like Grandmaster Flash
