[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!
[Chorus 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
[Chorus]
[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
[Chorus]
(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}
