	Verse one：
	Me and eric b was coolin' at the paladium
	Seen a all-world covered girl, i said "hey lady i'm
	Sorry if you're in a rush - don't let me hold ya up
	Or interveen or interrupt, but. . .
	You got the look - i wanna get to know ya better
	I had to let her know - but yo, i didn't sweat her
	'cause if you woulda seen what i was seein'
	Almost looked korean, but european.
	When she spoke, her accent was self-explanatory -
	Even her body language told the story
	Her name was mahogony - twin's name was ebony
	I said "my name is ra - and this is eric b"
	Since the music was loud, i said "let's take a walk,
	So we could talk and see new york.
	Show time doesn't start until one o'clock
	And once i entered your mind i wouldn't wanna stop
	Caressin' ya thoughts till we was thinkin' the same
	Calm ya nerves, massage ya brain
	Each mic is a mineral, poetry's protein
	Verse is a vitamin - affects like codine
	So tell me how you feel and i'll reveal
	A pill that'll heal ya pain - 'cause i'm real
	She musta od'd 'cause she couldn't resist
	She spoke slowly when she told me this, she said
	Chorus:
	Over me, she's goin' crazy
	She'll rub me on my chest and call me mr. sexy
	She said she'd have my kids and help me make my next g
	Tell me i ain't finesse mahogony . . .
	Verse two:
	So i prescribed her, something to revive
	And surprise her, she's liver and much more wiser
	Than the light i shine when my brain cells spark,
	Come to me so we can glow in the dark
	And soon, you can represent the moon
	As long as i keep ya in tune
	I'll tell ya who ya are and why ya here
	Take it in stride 'cause it might take a year
	It's funny - how time flies when ya havin' fun
	We got close and it was almost one
	She kissed me slow, but you know how far a kiss can go
	F*ck around and miss the show
	So i told her to hold that thought real tight
	We can finish where we left off later on tonite
	Back to the scene of the crime on time
	As they introduced the 'fiend of the rhyme'
	She stood with a birds-eye view of me
	Thinkin' of later on of what she would do to me
	The back of the room i could see her eyes gloom
	Patient, but hopin' that the show was over soon
	As the place was ripped in half, she made her way to the front row
	So i said "let's go"
	I packed my mic as they screamed for an encore
	The speakers were blown, plus my mic was sore
	Besides i got places to go, ladies to see
	And she could tell me how crazy she was over me
	We drove off - she said she liked the way that i performed
	And couldn't wait to get 'soft and warm', i said,
	"i've been watchin' you, watchin' me
	Looks i received made it hard to mc
	I can take a hint, so i knew that she
	Wanted my "agony agony ag-on-y" in her bod-y
	Showed her some sights, then i took her to the condo
	She was pipin' hot, but i kept my calm so
	She asked how come i don't smile
	I said, "everything's fine, but i'm in a new york state of mind!"
	As we reached the kingdom, she said bring some
	Champagne, she'll entertain then sing some
	Sentimental, songs real gentle,
	It hit the spot and you know where it went to
	As we embraced i felt her heart pumpin'
	I knew she was in the mood for somethin'
	So i laid on my back and relaxed
	It wasn't the perignon that made her collaspe
	Over me
	Chorus

	Verse one:
	Me and eric b was coolin' at the paladium
