Mahogany

Me and Eric B was coolin' at the Palladium

Seen a all-world covered girl, I said 'ey 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 ya 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 a story

Her name was Mahogony, 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 could talk, and see New York

Show time didn't start until one o'clock

But once I entered your mind I wouldn't wanna stop

Caress ya thoughts, 'til we was thinkin' the same

Calm ya nerves, massage ya brain

Each moment's a mineral

Poetry's protein, verse is a vitamin

Effects like codeine

Then tell me how ya feel, when I reveal

A pill, that'll heal ya pain, 'cause I'm real

She musta OD'd 'cause she couldn't resist

She spoke slowly when she told me this, she said

Over me, I'm goin' crazy

She rubbed me on my chest and called me Mr. Sexy

She said she want my kids, and help me make my next G

Tell me I ain't finesse Mahogony

So I prescribed her, somethin' to revive

And surprise her, she's liver and much more wiser

From the light I shine, when her 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 to hold that thought real tight

We can finish where we left off later on tonite
