[Intro: Erick Sermon]

Hey young world, one two, one two

Check it out y'all

Uhh, Shadz of Lingo in the house

E Double's in the house with Def Squad

On the funky fresh track with Shadz of Lingo


[Verse One: Erick Sermon]

Mic check one two, yo you got my nerves jumpin' around

And humpin' around like Bobby Brown across town

I ain't with that, so don't cramp my style

Step off me, I'm hyped like I had a pound of coffee

Yo, how could you ask what I'm doin'

When I'm pursuin', getting funky with my crew and

My input brings vibes unknown like E.T

Makes me phone home to my family

Ring! Hello mom, I'm doin' it, freakin'

More fame than Batman played by Michael Keaton

I crossed over, let me name someone that's black

With fame, and pockets that are fat

Heyyy, Erick Sermon, he's one

Packs a gun, that's bigger than Malcolm's

Out the window, I look for a punk to get stupid

So I can shoot his ass like Cupid

E-2: bingo! down with the Shadz of Lingo

Here to bust out the funky single

Ahh shit, there goes my pager

I'll see you later

Because yo...


[Hook: Erick Sermon]

Every now and then, I get a little crazy

Every now and then, I get a little crazy

Every now and then, I get a little crazy

Every now and then, I get a little crazy


[Verse 2: Kolorado]

One two how can I do it? I guess I'll spit the real

Yo I pack much dick, with the cover made of steel, ho

Yes, yes, never fessed or settled for less

One clown stepped, and got a hole in the fuckin' chest

From the A.K., somebody scream MAYDAY

Took the sucker out, cause he clowned me on a payday

The funk is flowin' to the maximum

From the E Double, while I kick the facts to them

Check a chill brother with class

Rough enough to run up and snatch the spine out of nigga's ass

Grip the steel when caps peeled, here to chill on the real

And don't give a motherfuck how you feel

Thinkin' you're steppin' to this, I kinda doubt it

Ain't with the bullshit, so you can write a fuckin' book about it

The big nigga with the bud and I'm on that

E kick the beat and yo you shoulda known that


[Hook]

Every now and then, I get a little crazy

Every now and then, I get a little crazy

Every now and then, I get a little crazy

Every now and then, I get a little crazy


[Verse 3: Lingo M.]

Yo, it's the Lingo of the Shadz

Droppin' that mellow but mad mackadocious

Melodious metaphorical music with mo' shit

That you used to, and stylin' that you ain't

What else I got to do but draw the pictures with paints?

Oh no, there's my mic squeakin'

A soundman's body turnin' up every weekend

Some think I done the killin', you know I can't remember

I can't recall a full week since this past December

And mics catchin' fire 'fore I get the chance to touch 'em

Yo Al. B catch the buddha lightin' torches, I'mma bust em

But don't rush 'em, leave the pyromaniac alone he heard the words

To hit em on the red dot and knows I'm thinkin' 'bout murder!

Run (run), hide (hide), you can't, (can't) escape (scape)

The hit (the hit's) on, I got the (got the) papes (papes)

Dodge (dodge) red (red) lasers (lasers) scannin' (scannin')

Brings (brings) fly (fly when) rhymes (rhymes) landin' (landin')

Let me go... no... yo, I'm straight (straight)

Chill (chill), yo I need AUHHHH, air, wait (wait)

Cross (cross) fade (fade's) a killer (killer) style and (style and)

Where's the (where's the) soundman

Tell me (tell me) was I whylin' (whylin')

'Cause ('cause)


[Hook]

Every now and then, I get a little crazy

Every now and then, I get a little crazy

Every now and then, I get a little crazy

Every now and then, I get a little crazy
