Epmd - Please Listen to My Demo lyrics

rate me

[Dub] Yo whassup P?

[PMD] Yo nuttin man just coolin kick back in the studio wit DJ Scratch

and my man Frank B, reminiscin about how we was tryin to shop

our demo and everybody was dishin, youknowhatI'msayin?

[Dub] Yo P tell em whassup man

[Verse One: Parrish Smith]

We was coolin in my car one day you see

Clockin a double nickel on the L-I E

When it dawned on us that it was, ten o'clock

Turned on the tunes to hear the DJ's rock

The hands got to clappin, the fingers got to snappin

E and I was coolin, with his mans, he was snappin

In and out of fantasies on how large we can get

Coolin in rocks and Benzes with the ground effect kits

I wanted black, E was on the two-tone

Stupid boomin system with the hands-free phone

The dream gets better and I would like to go on

but I was brought back to reality by a toot of a horn

Smoke everywhere, oh just what we needed

On the way to shop our demo and the car overheated

Feelin real low, low enough to die

Holdin up traffic, on the FDR drive

We had to play ourselves, in the fresh dipped gear

E Double had to push while MD steered

There went our dreams, to cruise in golden limos

And all we kept sayin was please listen to my demo

Please listen to my demo [x3]

Please-please-please-ple-please listen to my demo

[Verse Two: Erick Sermon]

In the year eighty-seven when we first took off

when I jumped to P-6-8 and broke North

Walkin the big city streets of Manhattan

Buildings, whole nine yards, so enchantin

Thinkin if we got a chance, we could rock it

Funky fresh demo tape in my pocket

We was walkin, and got dissed twice today

Then we stopped at 1974 Broadway

We walked in with grins on our chins

And P had juice from Mr. Virgo Simms

He played the tape and we started to laugh

Played ?if it was sock? and they swoop and backstab

People start to smile inside we buckwhylin

Sayin this all started back from freestylin

They liked it, and they were very kind

But me and P was like, "Yo E, where do we sign?"

Went in the backroom, things was luvy duvy

Met Ron Resnick, and his partner Juggy

Things was cool, as I remembered

We signed the dotted line, now we Fresh Record members

Had dreams, of fancy cars and limos

And I wanted was somebody, to listen to my demo

Please listen to my demo [x3]

Please-please-please-ple-please listen to my demo

Please listen to my demo [x2]
