me & eric b was coolin @ the palladium
seen a all world cover girl
i said hey lady! i'm
sorry if you in a rush.
dont mean to hold you up,
intervene or interrupt...but!
you got the look.
i wanna get to know you better.
i had to let her know
but yo!
i didnt sweat her.
if you coulda seen what i was seeing?
almost look korean.
but european.
when she spoke her accent was self explanatory.
even her body language told a story.
her name was Mahogany.
twins name was Ebony.
I said my name is Rah.
& this is Eric B.


MAN, this song blew my mind into shreds back in the day.

so smooth, rakim told the perfect story, no cursing, wasnt soft like that r&b rap LL would perfect later on

just a perfect hip hop record

im glad i grew up when i did...kids these days growing up on trinidad james & shit


does it even matter?
