Verse one: Me and eric b was coolin' at the paladium Seen a all-world covered girlI said "hey lady i'm Sorry if you're in a rush - don't let me hold ya up Or interveen or interruptbut. . . You got the look - I wanna get to know ya better I had to let her know - but yoI didn't sweat her 'cause if you woulda seen what I was seein' Almost looked koreanbut european. When she spokeher 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 loudI 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 nervesmassage ya brain Each mic is a mineralpoetry'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 thisshe said Chorus: Over meshe'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 hersomething to revive And surprise hershe'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 soonyou 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 slowbut 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 Patientbut hopin' that the show was over soon As the place was ripped in halfshe 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 blownplus my mic was sore Besides I got places to goladies 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' youwatchin' me Looks I received made it hard to mc I can take a hintso I knew that she Wanted my "agony agony ag-on-y" in her bod-y Showed her some sightsthen I took her to the condo She was pipin' hotbut I kept my calm so She asked how come I don't smile I said"everything's finebut I'm in a new york state of mind!" As we reached the kingdomshe said bring some Champagneshe'll entertain then sing some Sentimentalsongs 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
