EPMD - Let The Funk Flow Lyrics






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

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

So let the funk flow
"Let it flow!"

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

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

So let the funk flow
"Let it flow!"

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

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!"

So let the funk flow
"Let it flow!"

Yo, this beat is sort of funky
Man, I ain't worried about it, I know it's funky
"Let it flow"

    d.... ....

    The recording of this album was very amateurish. Erick Sermon said they didn't know a single thing about professional recording. For example, the beat for ''It's my Thing'' was recorded with tapes tied around chair legs.

    Realidade cruel - a selva nao é de brinquedo 🎶🎶🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

  49. B.... D....

    That Beastie Boys sample is nice.

    B.... D....

    You know didn't they have a little beef with the Beastie Boys over that sample on yo MTV Raps

  50. D.... J....

    For the record PMD produce the first and the second and the third album

    I got this album immediately when it came out in 89. My brother was in a talent show for a dance and he was dancing and he got these promotional posters with EPMD on it we put them in my room waiting patiently for the album to come out I was a huge fan I saw them in a club in 89 called Godfrey's in Baltimore

    n.... ....

    Correction, it came out in 88. I remember because I bought this album stricly business and Biz Markies going off at the same time. Both of them on vinyl of course. Released on 6/21/88

  55. D.... T....

  63. t.... ....

    Ahhhh this whole album is ill. My tape was so worn out from play > rewind > play > rewind > play

  64. T.... ....

    Priority/EMI should call on EPMD to help celebrate their 30th anniversary release of the album 🏅

  65. N.... S....

    Slow and low

  66. l.... ....

    Nas need his ass WHOOPED for messing up this beat. He could of did better

    l.... ....

    @Corneil Madison Nigga Nas got permission to use this beat.Why in the fuck would Nas wanna steal from Epmd.Plus he would've been sued if he were to steal it

    l.... ....

    @Corneil Madison it's sampled from james browns song called it's the jb's monorail, which epmd used first yes. how can nas steal a sample that epmd also sampled from a 1970s song

    l.... ....

    EPMD flip is FAR superior to Nas’.

    l.... ....

    yea but the outro/ending to nastradamus song on the album is dropping more truth and depth than many songs written past or present.

    l.... ....

    Nas sht can’t fuck with this gtfoh that’s DJ K La Boss on the outro. Young kids fckjng hip hop up man they need their ass whoop along with Nas

  67. T.... S....

    Shouts out my brother RAY - for putting me up on this shit in the mid 80's waaaay b4 dudes had any clue that this was the precursor to a music that would go on to literally take over the entire world. ...well? ....didn't it?!!

  68. D.... W....

    Keep forgetting how dope "Slow and Low" by the Beastie Boys goes with this track... fucking perfect.

  69. D.... R....

    First time I heard this was over the sound system before a Run DMC concert in Phoenix, Az. 1987. I said who the fuck is this? The next day got album at the Warehouse. Can't fuck with the old school.

  70. L.... A....

    This beat is timeless.

    L.... A....

    For sure. Way ahead of it's time.

    L.... A....

    THE JBS! THE JBS! THE JBS! THE JBS!

    L.... A....

    DJ K La’Boss

  71. k.... d....

  74. R.... H....

    the epmd lights are bright can you see them i can

  75. R.... H....

    That's some real words to live by

    S.... ....

    B.... ....

    BF6ct they rappin and performing. .
    word is bon you be illin

    B.... ....
