* Eric B. cuts up the phrase "Back to the lab" *
 Now try to do this step ("Back to the lab")
 and make sure the pace is kept
 and this ain't as smooth as I'ma get
 Nice and easy but hard to catch on to
 Move with melodies  rhymes to respond to
 The mic's in front of me  so you know it's gonna be
 rough and rugged  plus I'm smooth as I wanna be
 I'm somethin like sippin on Dom Perignon
 So absorb the song, til the rhyme's all gone
 My beats and speech original, you can't find these
 Eighty-nine is mine, so is the nineties
 Tellin you what you need to know and more
 You're unsure? On tour, I explore
 From street to street, to speak, from beat after beat
 My cypher's complete, when I build with people I meet
 So here's the info straight from the source in fact
 Paid the cost to be the boss, STEP BACK
 give me room to exercise the mind
 Three-hundred and sixty degrees'll be fine
 The weight of the world is what we hold
 That's a six, followed by twenty-one zeroes
 Six ?? sums is a lot of weight
 My truth is the strength and my thought won't break
 What it take, concentration, to rebuild our
 nation but we got to have mind power
 And we can make it work, because I know we can
 And if somethin go wrong, make another plan
 It's up to us, so strive and be wise and
 when we reach the top, don't stop risin
 And I'll keep comin up with more of
 the most requested songs that you all love
 Reach out and touch the mic, take control
 Still gettin  Paid  and I still got  Soul
 And the only thing I ever wanted you to follow was poetry
 Mind takes X-rays, so listen closely
 From the darkness came the light, clear out of a dark night
 Now I'm here to spark the mic
 Send out truth, for other groups and substitutes
 with run-on rhymes and weak dubs and loops
 They'd rather hear the arsonist, they insist
 No need to reminisce, see if you can step to this

 Step back

 * Eric B. cuts up the phrase "Back to the lab" *

 * Eric B. cuts up the phrase
 "Back to the lab, without a mic to grab" *

 So just step

 * Eric B. cuts up the phrase
 "Back to the lab, without a mic.." *

 Just step, the rhymes create energy
 Charged up, by the cut, and it's sendin me
 for a trip through the mind so I can locate
 a laid back rap at a slow rate
 It ain't hard at all, cause I invented it
 As the days go on, you hear them with it
 Brother bustin braincells, thinkin of a rap
 with the same old style, we had enough of that
 We all need somethin to step to
 And don't forget to, cause I won't let you
 dance without hopin that this come on next
 And if it go off, the DJ can't flex
 Cause here's the tempo, I'ma regulate the pace
 Here's the step, go find some space
 And what we gonna do is in unison, KICK
 Shake your head, you're influenced with music
 By now you're intoxicated, cause I prove I made it
 the pep your step so soon you get rejuvenated
 From side to side, you pause and clap
 But if you came to rap.. (step back)
