The rap era’s outta control,
Brothers’ sellin their soul to go gold…
Going, going, gone, another rapper sold!

Parrish Smith, “Crossover,” EPMD’s Business Never Personal, 1993

EPMD in effect, I’m clockin’ mad green
Like Kermit the Frog, sloppy like Boss Hog,
Girl was runnin’ wild…ate her like a corn dog.

Parrish Smith, “Chill,” from EPMD’s Business Never Personal, 1992

Your mom’s in our business…she’s in our business…
Can’t you see, girl, that your mom’s trying to end this?

K-Solo, “Your Mom’s In My Business,” Tell the World My Name, 1990

And while you was bangin on tables, I was bangin Snow White.

Parrish Smith, “Rampage”, from EPMD’s Business as Usual, 1991

You called me on the phone, saying you were alone,
But that’s a lie because I heard your moms breathing on the phone.
And if you really like me, let your moms know
She should mind her business…before I let go.

K-Solo, “Your Mom’s in My Business,” Tell the World My Name, 1990

My father always told me to wisen up, son.
Cause if you hung with nine broke friends, you’re bound to be the tenth one.

Parrish Smith, “It Wasn’t Me, It Was the Fame,” from EPMD’s Unfinished Business, 1989

Parrish Smith aka PMD • “So Wat Cha Sayin?” • 1989

People round town talkin’ this and that,
Of how we sound like The R, and our music was wack.
Dropped the album Strictly Business, and you thought we was bold.
Thirty days later…the LP went gold.
So what you sayin?
