keep the beat

she asked could i keep the beat

so here's the beat

everytime it pounds

you get weak

comfy

imbedded like a pillow

bouncin wit an echo

my voice is moist

and plus mellow

i got it going on

you're gonna wanna come

skins is the drum

said i'm the drummer

give the drummer some

and we'll see if you can hang wit ra

hm

let's see if you can shangri-la

easy.like tina marie i play it slick

like rick james

i'm the fire in your desire's flames;

i heat up your temperature

keep the tempo raw

when you start to smoke

rest assured

i start to think 'cause you're a singer like anita

high pitched like a tweeter

deep beats start to beat her

much harder than love taps

my rap's above that

i get girls where i want wit a maze full of lovetraps

but i don't want to fall in love

i stand in love

good balanced wit a plan to shove

accapella as we start to speak

heart to heart and cheek to cheek then i complete the beat

tempo's moving and i'm hoping it'll never fade away. the beat is grooving

words are soothing and please tell me that you're here

to stay

in the morning and i'm hoping the morning come again

hold me close and give me another dose and

keep the beat don't ever let it end

she said

ah

so far

you didn't miss a beat yet

pop in another cassette

then i'm in to wreck

i'll give you a beat you never had before

i had to explore and came up wit more

deep trunk kicks wit a brick for a drum stick

you know the song

don't hum along

come quick

you lay like sade

it feels like paradise

at the top of the pyramid

we review new heights

the scenery of egypt

you and me as we get

so deep in the groove

when you move

you get seasick

you seen enough

close your eyes and relax

move wit the tracks and stay tuned for the sax

the instrumental

enters your mental. tense but gentle and

sentimental

accapella as we start to speak

heart to heart and cheek to cheek then i complete the beat

she wanted the extended version

so i kept splurging and add more words in;

strong: the emotion

notions move and

the poetry's smoking

potions soothing

there goes the moon

i'm far from done

rise like the sun

here comes the sun

and i won't stop 'till it sets and then

rewind the cassettes and i'm a play it again;

but this time it's instrumental at a faster tempo

all i wanna hear is yea rakim
