[00:33.949]She asked could I keep the beat?
[00:35.853]So, here's the beat, every time it pounds, you get weak
[00:39.243]Comfy, embedded like a pillow, bouncin' with an echo
[00:42.599]My voice is moist and plus mellow
[00:44.724]I got it goin' on, you're gonna wanna come
[00:47.305]Skins is the drum, I said I'm the drummer, give the drummer some
[00:50.329]And we'll see if you can hang wit' Ra
[00:52.677]Hmm, let's see if you can Shangri-La
[00:55.413]Easy like Teena Marie, I play it slick like Rick James
[00:59.325]I'm the Fire and your Desire's flames
[01:01.531]I heat up your temperature, keep the tempo raw
[01:04.286]When you start to smoke, rest assured
[01:06.488]I start to think 'cause you're a singer like Anita
[01:08.675]High pitched like a tweeter, deep beats start to beat her
[01:11.763]Much harder than love taps, my rap's above that
[01:14.650]I get girls where I want with a maze full of love traps
[01:17.448]But I don't want to fall in love
[01:19.438]I stand in love, good balanced with a plan to shove
[01:22.731]Acapella as we start to speak
[01:24.782]Heart to heart and cheek to cheek
[01:26.520]Then I complete the beat

[01:28.876]Tempo's movin', and I'm hopin' it'll never fade away
[01:33.404]The beat is groovin', words are soothin'
[01:35.932]And please tell me that you're here to stay
[01:39.144]In the mornin', and I'm hopin' the mornin' come again
[01:44.058]Hold me close, and give me another dose, and
[01:46.686]Keep the beat, don't ever let it end
[01:48.355]：：
[01:48.692]Verse 2：
[01:48.909]：：
[01:49.125]She said, "R, so far, you didn't miss a beat yet"
[01:51.509]Pop in another cassette, then I'm in to wreck
[01:54.469]I'll give you a beat you never had before
[01:57.000]I had to explore and came up with more
[01:59.813]Deep trunk kicks with a brick for a drum stick
[02:02.406]You know the song, don't hum along, come quick
[02:06.454]You lay like Sade, it feels like paradise
[02:07.759]At the top of the pyramid, we review new heights
[02:10.645]The scenery of Egypt, you and me as we get
[02:13.110]So deep in the groove, when you move, you get seasick
[02:16.415]You seen enough, close your eyes and relax
[02:18.590]Move wit' the tracks, and stay tuned for the sax
[02:21.256]The instrumental enters your mental
[02:23.927]Tense, but gentle and sentimental
[02:26.601]Acapella as we start to speak
[02:29.175]Heart to heart and cheek to cheek
[02:31.280]Then I complete the beat

[02:51.858]：：
[02:52.159]Verse 3：
[02:52.345]：：
[02:54.196]She wanted the extended version
[02:56.153]So, I kept splurgin' and add more words in
[02:58.877]Strong: the emotion, notions move, and
[03:01.333]The poetry's smokin', potions soothin'
[03:04.364]There goes the moon, I'm far from done
[03:06.839]Rise like the sun, here comes the sun
[03:09.610]And I won't stop 'til it sets, and then
[03:12.164]Rewind the cassettes and I'ma play it again
[03:17.151]But this time, it's instrumental at a faster tempo
[03:18.422]All I wanna hear is "Yeah, Rakim, go!"
[03:20.547]I work overtime on your body and mind
[03:22.989]'Cause I'm inclined to do both combined
[03:26.228]My job is never done, but done well
[03:29.245]Horizontal or parallel
[03:31.153]Acapella as we start to speak
[03:33.581]Heart to heart and cheek to cheek
[03:35.680]Then I complete the beat
