(Ladies and gentleman)

[Verse 1: Erick Sermon]
When I came out with my first rap jam
I had no idea that the record would slam
Dunk with the chunk, a funk with no airplay
Maybe at night, but no airplay in the day
I couldn't understand why to be exact
Like BBD, I was dope or far from wack
Then came the answer, commercial was the key
To get airplay and a spot on TV
Like Ed Lover and Doctor Dre for Yo! MTV Raps
A show mainly for the Black
And still we can't ill, 'cause to them, that's wrong
'Cause like P.E. said, we're too Black and too strong
But hey, what can I say?
(Brothers and sisters), that's a price a rapper must pay, 'cause

[Chorus]
(Ladies and gentleman)
(Ladies and gentleman)
(Ladies and gentleman)
(Ladies and gentleman)
