ERICK SERMON
"I'm Not Him"
(George Clinton / Carlton Ridenhour / Eric Sadler / Erick Sermon / Hank Shocklee)

[Erick Sermon]
(I'M NOT HIM) Nope, it's E don't trip
Word to Cam'Ron, man my Set stay Dipped
We rock Nike Airs, the flyest wears, yeah
We got Flavor man ("Yeahhhhhhhh BOYEEE!")
(I'M NOT HIM) I'm the Music Man
Who gave Marvin Gaye's wife two hundred grand
Man, ask Quincy, I'm that dude
So please don't get me confused because
(I'M NOT HIM) Boy you in trouble
Guns pack a couple, a one-man SWAT team
By any means, pull a Malcolm
House 'em have 'em screamin Shelton, he ("Bring the noise!")
(I'M NOT HIM) Nope, I'm the Bandit
That Green Eyed cat, boy from way back
Who set trends, the youngest nigga in rap with a Benz
Rag-top with rims, that was me stupid!

[Hook 2x: Erick Sermon]
(I'M NOT HIM) I'm not him
(It's E-Dub, it's not who you thought he was)
(He's flyer than you thought he was)
So I'm back to reclaim my name because

[Erick Sermon]
(I'M NOT HIM) I'm a 15 year vet
Type of rapper, 15 year stretch
The one who made it happen rappin
Got it crackin rappin, keep the paper stackin, yeah
(I'M NOT HIM) I'm hip-hop elite
The one who signed Redman, the one who signed Keith
The one who made the beat that locked down the corner
Hardcore, that's my persona, geah
(I'M NOT HIM) Nope, I'm the E
The other half of the group of EPMD
And my track record so mean
This here underground bounce so hood, fuck mainstream
(I'M NOT HIM) You can't get with me
I rock spots and leave a TLC "Unpretty"
And now it's "Ugly," Bubba Sparxxx scene
Real dirty and grimy with the Squad behind me

[Hook]

[Erick Sermon]
(I'M NOT HIM) Nope, I'm the master
I'm the man's man, the rapper's favorite rapper
The ultimate, none get close to it
I'm Erick, I'm the one you supposed to pick
(I'M NOT HIM) I keep it gutter on tracks
"Regulate" like Doc Dre's brother
I'm Warren in rap, I drop bombs to-day
You lay like U-day and Qu-say, yeah
(I'M NOT HIM) The MC Grand Royal
On the microphone, and New York's my home
Long Island zone, where I roam
Like phones in Buffalo, geah - you know!
(I'M NOT HIM) Go 'head, talk about me
I don't care since my label dropped me
And I returned like Makaveli
In a new stretch Caddy, watchin "Belly"
I'm not him

[Hook]

(It's E-Dub)
(It's E-Dub, he's not who you thought he was)
(I'M NOT HIM)
(It's E-Dub)
(It's E-Dub, he's not who you thought he was)
(I'M NOT HIM)
