[00:31.75] | Almost looked korean, but european. |
[00:33.25] | When she spoke, her accent was self-explanatory - |
[00:38.18] | Even her body language told the story |
[00:40.17] | Her name was mahogony - twins name was ebony |
[00:42.55] | I said my name is ra - and this is eric b |
[00:46.29] | Since the music was loud, I said lets take a walk, |
[00:49.41] | So we could talk and see new york. |
[00:51.03] | Show time doesnt start until one oclock |
[00:55.34] | And once I entered your mind I wouldnt wanna stop |
[00:57.96] | Caressin ya thoughts till we was thinkin the same |
[01:00.58] | Calm ya nerves, massage ya brain |
[01:03.39] | Each mic is a mineral, poetrys protein |
[01:06.76] | Verse is a vitamin - affects like codine |
[01:08.57] | So tell me how you feel and Ill reveal |
[01:11.25] | A pill thatll heal ya pain - cause Im real |
[01:15.02] | She musta odd cause she couldnt resist |
[01:16.71] | She spoke slowly when she told me this, she said |
[01:20.95] | Over me, shes goin crazy |
[01:23.51] | Shell rub me on my chest and call me mr. sexy |
[01:26.44] | She said shed have my kids and help me make my next g |
[01:29.32] | Tell me I aint finesse mahogony . . . |
[01:32.12] | So I prescribed her, something to revive |
[01:34.80] | And surprise her, shes liver and much more wiser |
[01:37.05] | Than the light I shine when my brain cells spark, |
[01:40.92] | Come to me so we can glow in the dark |
[01:43.28] | And soon, you can represent the moon |
[01:45.41] | As long as I keep ya in tune |
[01:48.40] | Ill tell ya who ya are and why ya here |
[01:51.90] | Take it in stride cause it might take a year |
[01:54.64] | Its funny - how time flies when ya havin fun |
[01:57.26] | We got close and it was almost one |
[02:00.95] | She kissed me slow, but you know how far a kiss can go |
[02:04.44] | F*ck around and miss the show |
[02:06.45] | So I told her to hold that thought real tight |
[02:09.55] | We can finish where we left off later on tonite |
[02:11.74] | Back to the scene of the crime on time |
[02:14.93] | As they introduced the fiend of the rhyme |
[02:17.73] | She stood with a birds-eye view of me |
[02:21.17] | Thinkin of later on of what she would do to me |
[02:23.91] | The back of the room I could see her eyes gloom |
[02:26.15] | Patient, but hopin that the show was over soon |
[02:28.28] | As the place was ripped in half, she made her way to the front row |
[02:33.40] | So I said lets go |
[02:35.02] | I packed my mic as they screamed for an encore |
[02:37.95] | The speakers were blown, plus my mic was sore |
[02:41.14] | Besides I got places to go, ladies to see |
[02:44.12] | And she could tell me how crazy she was over me |
[02:47.31] | We drove off - she said she liked the way that I performed |
[02:50.06] | And couldnt wait to get soft and warm, I said, |
[02:52.68] | Ive been watchin you, watchin me |
[02:55.12] | Looks I received made it hard to mc |
[02:57.23] | I can take a hint, so I knew that she |
[03:01.16] | Wanted my agony agony ag-on-y in her bod-y |
[03:02.85] | Showed her some sights, then I took her to the condo |
[03:07.09] | She was pipin hot, but I kept my calm so |
[03:09.90] | She asked how come I dont smile |
[03:11.84] | I said, everythings fine, but Im in a new york state of mind! |
[03:15.70] | As we reached the kingdom, she said bring some |
[03:18.01] | Champagne, shell entertain then sing some |
[03:21.51] | Sentimental, songs real gentle, |
[03:24.43] | It hit the spot and you know where it went to |
[03:27.37] | As we embraced I felt her heart pumpin |
[03:29.24] | I knew she was in the mood for somethin |
[03:32.99] | So I laid on my back and relaxed |
[03:36.05] | It wasnt the perignon that made her collaspe |
[03:39.04] | Over me |
[03:40.29] | Over me, shes goin crazy |
[03:41.17] | Shell rub me on my chest and call me mr. sexy |
[03:43.72] | She said shed have my kids and help me make my next g |
