God Sent - Erick Sermon

Let me clear my throat!

Kick it over here baby pop!

Feel the beat… mmm DRRRRROP!

Look, some of y’all had chance to witness

Every year I appeared on top hitlist

I produced, half the rap world

A third of R&B, no help just me (YO!)

Just me on the rhyme, just me on the beat

Just me in the lab, just me in the street

Most knew it, my accolades stacked high

Appalachian, Mountain placin them

Top ten, I’m rap’s elite, so street

If you can’t recite the realness, don’t speak (YO!)

My sound help cats through bids

Half the industry rhymes on somethin I did

I target, one market

Underground shit to start arguments about who’s dope

Hip-Hop kids, like crackheads

They fiend for this, like he’s a genius

No I’m God sent

Yes I’m one of God’s children

Erick, I’m blessed with a gift, yeah

I «Walk This Way»

Run-D.M.C.

style and Jay, you see like trust I’m God sent

Yeah, I’m on a 15 year spread

Retire from the game when I’m dead

For now I’m livin, I’mma keep givin

This Boogie Down Production for Scott LaRock

Peace, to Biggie, Pun, Big L and 'Pac

Freaky Tah, Eazy-E, and the rest that dropped

For those who wonderin, it’s no other

Five times on The Source, I graced the cover

So save your opinion, you wanna hear that old

«You're a Customer» type flow, when I rhyme slow

That was 15 years ago — if you wanna hear that

Then buy that tape, and hear that flow (YO!)

Jah said somethin like you have to grow

Can’t stagnate the flow, cause you said so

I walk this way, cause I’ve paid dues

I’m a giant, and you need platform shoes

Talk to me

Okay last bomb, so I’mma let this go

Been fresh since Doug and Ricky did «The Show» (YO!)

And you act like E’s not able

You ain’t said nuttin, put the cash on the table

I’m from the era of battle, LL, Moe Dee

Who held the mic when you held the rattle

But you frontin like E’s not happenin

Like Run told me, «I'm the reason why you rappin»

Feel my spirit, so powerful that the dead can hear it

I’m Raw, got the wrath of Kane

Look in the mirror it’s the man

Not the one that Michael Jackson was searchin

It’s me Erick Sermon

Rest in peace to Jam Master Jay
