Relax while i tax  or you can just max 
It really doesn't matter  just stay the hell back 
Poppin much junk  now the time has arose n 
I pick your card and your name has been chosen 
Not all about ?line opin? or the stick up scene 
"let it flow!"  you know what i mean 
I'm the pmd  in the place to be 
Clock rhymin and i lock ya  around the tick tocker 
Suckers steady clockin at the same time jockin 
So a brother like md takes a chill and lay low 
Hypnotize your girl, while the funk flow 
[erick sermon] 
I got my girls to keep me pumpin, just like getti 
Use the same fuel as mario andretti 
Kickin butt in the beginning all the way to the end 
He drives, i rhyme no matter what we win 
I come fully equipped, with the mic on my hip 
So if you real, it's no time to slip 
Cause when it's time for some action, check on the mic-hael jackson 
Do a spin grab my nuts, and start taxin 
Let the mc's know that i shock like lightning 
They mess with the e-double-e, i sounds frightening 
[parrish] so let the funk flow 
"let it flow!" 
[erick sermon] 
Blastoff, and off you go 
We usually take off fast, but now we take up slow 
I would say ?bamba yards?, but i'm not leavin 
I don't wanna go, but the girlies keep screamin 
So i will stay, if that's fine wit you 
But i won't leave, until the party is through 
So while i'm here, let me get funky 
Fiendin for the rhyme (like a four-deuce junkie) 
Put the pep in your step, the stride in your glide 
Epmd them goin nationwide 
[parrish smith] 
While the bass is steady pumpin and the beat be like thumpin 
You lose your cool, then you start jumpin 
You're out of control, and i'm right on track 
In seconds later i work the bone out your back 
To mess with the two is to mess with hot water 
We like to hang, torture then slaughter 
All sucker mc's, who proceed to intrude 
E said (let em slide), say what but i'm in the mood 
For dishin and dismissin, all those who don't listen 
Reel the ones whose in, as if we was fishin 
So in eighty-eight, no wait i think it's too late 
Cause in eighty-seven, you bit on the old bait 
[erick] so let the funk flow 
"let it flow!" 
[parrish smith] 
Lounge homeboy you in the danger zone 
When the brother pmd is on the microphone 
The slow momentum of my rhymes are divine and combined 
To go off beat, and come back on time 
To maintain and explain, but never sound the same 
And when it comes to do this, very few remain 
People on my jock for the rhymes i invent 
Dip in a phone booth just like clark kent 
Step out dressed to impress, with no intention to fess 
Chillin hard, with the p on my chest 
Rhymin on the mic, while the beat rocks steady 
Throw a funky fresh rhyme and mc's fetch it like freddy 
[erick sermon] 
Listen to heavy metal, hardcore rock n roll 
Drink a six-pack, maybe miller or stroh 
That's not the move, it's about hip-hop 
The love that y'all playin and screamin had to stop 
Let's get it straight for nineteen eighty-eight 
For it can sound fine for nineteen eighty-nine 
I hear the girls out there sayin e is hot 
That only shows you what juice i got 
And if you don't like me, and you yellin boo 
There's nothin wrong wit me, it's somethin wrong with you 
So let the funk flow 
"let it flow!" 
[parrish] so let the funk flow 
"let it flow!" 
[parrish] yo, this beat is sort of funky 
[sermon] man, i ain't worried about it, i know it's funky 
"let it flow!"
