Crossover

Erick Sermon's in the house

Let's get up let's get down

Roll wit the hardcore funk the hardcore sound

Let's get wit this mackadocious funk material

So simple when I rock wit the instrumental

Who am I(E-D the Green Eyed Bandit)

Control my career so I can never get stranded

But the rest are gettin Brand Nubian

Changed up they style from jeans to suits and

Thinkin about a pop record somethin made for the station

For a whole new relation

Ship of a new type of scene

To go platinum and clock mad green

AKA a sellout the rap definition

Get off that boy change your mission

Come back around the block

Pump Color Me Badd to the ah tick tock

Let them know your logo not a black thing

My background sing my background sing for the crossover

The Crossover

The rap era's outta control brother's sellin their soul

To go gold going going gone another rapper sold

(To who)To pop and RandB not the MD

I'm strictly hip-hop I'll stick to Kid Capri

Funk mode yea kid that's how the Squad rolls

I know your head is bobbin'cause the neck knows

(Not like other rappers)frontin on they fans the ill

Trying to chill saying"damn it be great to sell a mill"

Thats when the mind switch to the pop tip

(Kid you're gonna be large)

Yea right that's what the company kicks

Forget the black crowds you're wack now

In a zoot suit frontin black lookin mad foul

I speak for the hardcore(ruff rugged and raw)

I'm outta here catch me chillin on my next tour

From the US to the white cliffs of Dover

Strictly underground funk keep the crossover

The Crossover

So what cha sayin You wanna go pop goes the weasel

You know you should be rocking the fans wit something diezel

But you insist to piss me off black

So I flex the biceps so I can push em back

So real hardcore hip-hop continue wreck it

And all sucker MC's duck down and get the message

So ban the crossover yo who's wit me

(Hit Squad)yea P hit me

Another megablast funky **** style from cross yonder

(So help me Rhonda help help me Rhonda)

(Yo from what)the crossover yea crossing you over

Outta here gone peace nice to know ya

What a way to go out no clout is what the fans will shout

'Cause you got gassed and took the wrong route

Came on the scene chillin freakin a funky **** line

But when they finish wit you(beep)flatline

Some say there's no business like show business

But if this the truth please explain why is this

Rappers been around long makin mad noise you see

Still I haven't seen one rapper livin comfortably

No time to pick and wish on a four leaf clover

I stick to underground keep the crossover

The Crossover
