Mahogany
Eric B. & Rakim

Me and Eric be 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 want to 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 be

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 want to 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

[Chorus]
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

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
Fuck 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-why in her bod-why

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

[Chorus]
