[Intro]

Yeah yeah, check it

PMD and you don't quit

Parrish Smith

PMD uh

[Verse 1: Parrish Smith & Erik Sermon]

Last Man Standing like Bruce Willis about to kill this

Niggas feel this, the masters to realness

In your town to get down, so give your man a pound

Let him know what's goin down, take a pull and hold it now

Back to matters we call the rhyme data

Home run batter, shutting down your chitter chatter

So kill the he say she say, bust the replay

Hit Squad, Def Squad, stay busy like the freeway

Dig this in the field of rap, I pull rank

Sets it Off like Vivica Fox and La' robbing banks

What you think? On the roof I work, smoking dank

Puffin Bone-Thugs and the boombox crank

Live in color, I represent, for the hardcore brother

Who pack Lethal Weapons without Dan Glover

And still we achieve the great

Those who try to fade us get clowned, plus beat down, so


[Chorus]

Let's get up, let's get down

Roll with the hardcore funk, the hardcore sound

Let's get wit this, mackadocious funk material

{"It's been a long time, we shouldn't have left you"}

Let's get up, let's get down

Roll with the hardcore funk, the hardcore sound

Let's get wit this, mackadocious funk material

{"It's been a long time, we shouldn't have left you"}

[Verse 2: Parrish Smith & Erik Sermon]

Aiyo the rhymes I recite, airtight like a submarine

Hip-Hop fiends like a Jones for nicotine

Of tobacco so I can't slack yo

Got the knack though, bring it live and that's a fact yo

Niggas bugging out, asking when we coming out

Samples running out, need new shit to talk about

How you doing? (Where you been?) In the biz

Sitting on chrome, back to set trends

Well it's the rapping Lex Luthor, step to me I'll do ya

Send you Back to the Future–He for real man? Hell yeah!

I don't care, I gets it on anywhere

In the streets of East New York to the streets of Bel Air

First things first, I come to work with mad equipment

To do y'all in the U-Haul and the side biscuit

My persona

Got suburban kids banging their heads up in the gym like Nirvana


[Chorus]

Let's get up, let's get down

Roll with the hardcore funk, the hardcore sound

Let's get wit this, mackadocious funk material

{"It's been a long time, we shouldn't have left you"}

Let's get up, let's get down

Roll with the hardcore funk, the hardcore sound

Let's get wit this, mackadocious funk material

{"It's been a long time, we shouldn't have left you"}

[Verse 3: Parrish Smith & Erik Sermon]

Back to take mine like Jordan going baseline

Create rhymes, break spines when it's showtime

Niggas wanna doubt me, talk about P

No slouch B 'cause off the meter's how my clout be

Indeed, I'm amazing when I unfold

Got the crowd doing shit by remote control

Coming high powered, what's the discrepancy coward?

Dunk on your head like Juwan Howard


[Chorus]

Let's get up, let's get down

Roll with the hardcore funk, the hardcore sound

Let's get wit this, mackadocious funk material

{"It's been a long time, we shouldn't have left you"}

Let's get up, let's get down

Roll with the hardcore funk, the hardcore sound

Let's get wit this, mackadocious funk material

{"It's been a long time, we shouldn't have left you"}
