Verse one:

Me and eric b was coolinÂ’ at the paladium
Seen a all-world covered girl, I said hey lady iÂ’m
Sorry if youÂ’re in a rush - donÂ’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 didnÂ’t sweat her
Â’cause if you woulda seen what I was seeinÂ’
Almost looked korean, but european.
When she spoke, her accent was self-explanatory -
Even her body language told the story
Her name was mahogony - twinÂ’s name was ebony
I said my name is ra - and this is eric b
Since the music was loud, I said letÂ’s take a walk,
So we could talk and see new york.
Show time doesnÂ’t start until one oÂ’clock
And once I entered your mind I wouldnÂ’t wanna stop
CaressinÂ’ ya thoughts till we was thinkinÂ’ the same
Calm ya nerves, massage ya brain
Each mic is a mineral, poetryÂ’s protein
Verse is a vitamin - affects like codine
So tell me how you feel and IÂ’ll reveal
A pill thatÂ’ll heal ya pain - Â’cause IÂ’m real
She musta odÂ’d Â’cause she couldnÂ’t resist
She spoke slowly when she told me this, she said

Chorus:

Over me, sheÂ’s goinÂ’ crazy
SheÂ’ll rub me on my chest and call me mr. sexy
She said sheÂ’d have my kids and help me make my next g
Tell me I ainÂ’t finesse mahogony . . .

Verse two:

So I prescribed her, something to revive
And surprise her, sheÂ’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
IÂ’ll tell ya who ya are and why ya here
Take it in stride Â’cause it might take a year
ItÂ’s funny - how time flies when ya havinÂ’ 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 Â’fiend of the rhymeÂ’
She stood with a birds-eye view of me
ThinkinÂ’ of later on of what she would do to me
The back of the room I could see her eyes gloom
Patient, but hopinÂ’ that the show was over soon
As the place was ripped in half, she made her way to the front row
So I said letÂ’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 couldnÂ’t wait to get Â’soft and warmÂ’, I said,
IÂ’ve been watchinÂ’ you, watchinÂ’ 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 pipinÂ’ hot, but I kept my calm so
She asked how come I donÂ’t smile
I said, everythingÂ’s fine, but IÂ’m in a new york state of mind!
As we reached the kingdom, she said bring some
Champagne, sheÂ’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 pumpinÂ’
I knew she was in the mood for somethinÂ’
So I laid on my back and relaxed
It wasnÂ’t the perignon that made her collaspe
Over me

Chorus
