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

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
