[00:12.22]Me and eric b was coolin at the paladium
[00:13.78]Seen a all-world covered girl, I said hey lady im
[00:17.15]Sorry if youre in a rush - dont let me hold ya up
[00:20.65]Or interveen or interrupt, but. . .
[00:23.89]You got the look - I wanna get to know ya better
[00:26.45]I had to let her know - but yo, I didnt sweat her
[00:29.38]cause if you woulda seen what I was seein
[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
