Lil Crazy
Erick Sermon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey young world, one two, one two
Check it out y'all
Uh, Shadz of Lingo in the house
E Double's in the house with Def Squad
On the funky fresh track with Shadz of Lingo

Mic check one two, yo you got my nerves jumpin' around
And "Humpin' Around" like Bobby Brown across town
I ain't with that, so don't cramp my style
Step off me, I'm hyped like I had a pound of coffee
Yo how could you ask what I'm doin'
When I'm pursuin', gettin' funky with my crew and
My input brings vibes unknown like E.T.
Makes me phone home to my family
Cling, hello mom, I'm doin' it, freakin' more fame
Than Batman played by Michael Keaton
I crossed over, let me name someone that's black
With fame, and pockets that are fat
Hey, Erick Sermon, he's one
Packs a gun, that's bigger than Malcolm's
Out the window, I look for a punk to get stupid
So I can shoot his ass like Cupid
E 2 bingos, down with the Shadz of Lingo
Here to bust out the funky single
Ah shit, there goes my pager
I'll see you later, because yo

Every now and then, I get a little crazy
Every now and then, I get a little crazy
Every now and then, I get a little crazy
Every now and then, I get a little crazy

One two how can I do it? I guess I'll spit the real
Yo I pack much dick, with the cover made of steel hoe
Yes yes, never fessed or settled for less
One clown stepped, and got a hole in the fuckin' chest
From the A.K., somebody scream mayday!
Took the sucker out, cause he clowned me on a payday
The funk is flowin' to the maximum
From the E Double, while I kick the facts to them
Check a chill brother with class, rough enough
To run up and snatch the spine out a niggas ass
Grip the steel when caps peeled, here to chill on the real
And don't give a motherfuck how you feel
Thinkin' you're steppin' to this, I kinda doubt it
Ain't with the bullshit, so you can write a fuckin' book about it
The big nigga with the bud and I'm on that
E kick the beat and yo you shoulda known that

Every now and then, I get a little crazy
Every now and then, I get a little crazy
Every now and then, I get a little crazy
Every now and then, I get a little crazy

Yo it's the Lingo of the Shadz
Droppin that mellow but mad mackadocious
Melodious metaphorical music with mo' shit
That you used to, and stylin that you ain't
What else I got to do but draw the pictures with paints?
Oh no, there's my mic squeakin'
A soundman's body turnin' up every weekend
Some think I done the killin', you know I can't remember
I can't recall a full week since this past December
And mics catchin' fire 'fore I get the chance to touch em
Yo Al. B catch the Buddha lightin' torches, I'ma bust em
But don't rush em, leave the pyromaniac alone he heard the words
To hit em on the red dot and knows I'm thinkin' bout murder!
Run (run) hide (hide) you can't (can't) escape (scape)
The hit (the hit's) on, I got the (got the) papes (papes)
Dodge (dodge) red (red) lasers (lasers) scannin' (scannin')
