Eric B. & Rakim Mahogany lyrics

Me and Eric B was coolin' at the Palladium
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 intervene or interrupt but you got the look
I wanna get to know you 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 Mahogany, twin's name was Ebony
I said, "My name is Ra and this is Eric B"

Since the music was loud I said, "Let's take a walk
So we can talk and see New York"
Show time doesn't start 'til one o'clock
And once I entered your mind I wouldn't wanna stop

Caressin' thoughts though we was thinkin' the same
Calm ya nerves, massage ya brain
Each moment's a mineral, poetry's protein
Verse is a vitamin, affects like Codeine

Then tell me how you feel when 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 but she told me this

She said, ‽Over me, I'm goin' crazy”
She'll rub me on my chest and call me Mr. Sexy
She says, she want my kids and help me make my next G
Tell me I ain't finesse Mahogany

So I prescribed her, something to revive
And surprise her, she's liver and much more wiser
From the light, I shine when my brain cells spark
Constantly so she can glow in the dark

Then 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, 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 in the crowd with a birds-eye view of me
Thinkin' of later on of what she could 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 was 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, agony in her body

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 collapse

Over me, she was goin' crazy
She'll rub me on my chest and call me Mr. Sexy
She says, she want my kids and help me make my next G
Tell me I ain't finesse Mahogany
