what's on your mind?

Singer: eric b. & rakim

i seen her in the subway

on my way to brooklyn

hello

good looking

is this seat tooken

on the a-train

picking at her brain

i couldn't get her number

i couldn't get her name

i said i still like your style of fashion

but i hate your hostile

'itty attitude wit a passion

is it because brothers like to hawk alot

is it because your sign don't talk alot

she turned away

no play

i said ok

you don't really look good

i hope you have a bad day

sat back

relaxed though the ride was tight

i was thinking of the rhymes i wrote last night

next stop was mine

a familar scene

i was meeting my friend

killer ben in ft green

where the girls are real

they tell ya how they feel

if you're soft

you're soft

or if you're hard like steel

see i don't bend and i won't rust

and i don't break and i won't bust

stomped up the street and did i hear a treat?

hard high heels tappin' on the concrete

i took a peek

it was the girl from the train behind me

did she live in the area

was she trying to find me?

hm

i didn't wanna play myself out

i played it off

stopped and i bought a guiness stout

now was she shy

she didn't walk by

she came in the store then she even said hi

curiosity- at a high velocity

maybe possibly she had the hots for me

i said if we're playing games then we're gonna play mine

i'm a lay the rules 'cause it ain't much time

if you hide your feelings

and they hard to find

i wanna know what's on your mind

about a week went by and i called her

hello"
