Lyrics
0:32She asked could
0:33I keep the beat
0:34So here's the beat everytime it pounds you get weak
0:37Comfy imbedded like a pillow bouncin' wit an echo
0:41My voice is moist and plus mellow
0:43I got it going on you're gonna wanna come
0:45Skins is the drum said
0:47I'm the drummer
0:47Give the drummer some and we'll see if you can hang wit ra
0:51Hmm let's see if you can shangrila
0:53Easy like
0:54Tina Marie
0:55I play it slick
0:56Like Rick
0:56James I'm the fire in your desire's flames
0:59I heat up your temperature keep the tempo raw
1:02When you start to smoke rest assured
1:04I start to think 'cause you're a singer like
1:06AnitaHigh pitched like a tweeter deep beats start to beat her
1:10Much harder than love taps my rap's above that
1:13I get girls where
1:13I want wit a maze full of love traps
1:16But I don't want to fall in love
1:17I stand in love good balanced wit a plan to shove
1:21Accapella as we start to speak
1:23Heart to heart and cheek to cheek then
1:25I complete the beat
1:26Tempo's movin' and
1:29I'm hopin' it'll never fade away
1:31The beat is groovin' words are soothin'
1:34And please tell me that you're here to stay
1:37In the mornin' and
1:40I'm hopin' the mornin' come again
1:42Hold me close and give me another dose
1:44And keep the beat don't ever let it end
1:47She said ah so far you didn't miss a beat yet
1:49Pop in another cassette then
1:51I'm in to wreck
1:52I'll give you a beat you never had before
1:55I had to explore and came up wit more
1:58Deep trunk kicks wit a brick for a drum stick
2:01You know the song don't hum along come quick
2:03You lay like sade it feels like paradise
2:06At the top of the pyramid we review new heights
2:09The scenery of
2:09Egypt you and me as we get
2:11So deep in the groove when you move you get seasick
2:14You seen enough close your eyes and relax
2:17Move wit the tracks and stay tuned for the sax
2:19The instrumental enters your mental
2:22Tense but gentle and sentimental
2:25Accapella as we start to speak
2:27Heart to heart and cheek to cheek then
2:30I complete the beat
2:31Tempo's movin' and
2:33I'm hopin' it'll never fade away
2:36The beat is groovin' words are soothin'
2:38And please tell me that you're here to stay
2:42In the mornin' and
2:44I'm hopin' the mornin' come again
2:46Hold me close and give me another dose
2:49And keep the beat don't ever let it end
2:52She wanted the extended version
2:54So I kept splurging and add more words in
2:57Strong the emotion notions move
2:59And the poetry's smoking potions soothing
3:02There goes the moon
3:03I'm far from done
3:05Rise like the sun here comes the sun
3:08And I won't stop 'til it sets and then
3:10Rewind the cassettes and
3:12I'ma play it again
3:13But this time it's instrumental at a faster tempo
3:16All I wanna hear is yea rakim go
3:19I work overtime on your body and mind'
3:21Cause I'm incline to do both combined
3:24My job is never done but done well
3:27Horizontal or parallel
3:29Accapella as we start to speak
3:31Heart to heart and cheek to cheek then
3:34I complete the beat
3:35Tempo's movin' and
3:38I'm hopin' it'll never fade away
3:41The beat is groovin' words are soothin'
3:43And please tell me that you're here to stay
3:46In the mornin' and
3:49I'm hopin' the mornin' come again
3:51Hold me close and give me another dose
3:53And keep the beat don't ever let it end
