Eric B. & Rakim - Keep The Beat Lyrics
She asked could I keep the beatSo heres the beat, everytime it pounds, you get weakComfy, imbedded like a pillow, bouncin wit an echoMy voice is moist, and plus mellowI got it going on, youre gonna wanna comeSkins is the drum, (I) said Im the drummer, give the drummer someAnd well see if you can hang wit raHm, lets see if you can shangri-laEasy ...like tina marie I play it slickLike rick james, Im the fire in your desires flames;I heat up your temperature, keep the tempo rawWhen you start to smoke, rest assuredI start to think cause youre a singer like anitaHigh pitched like a tweeter, deep beats start to beat herMuch harder than love taps, my raps above thatI get girls where I want wit a maze full of lovetrapsBut I dont want to fall in loveI stand in love, good balanced wit a plan to shoveAccapella as we start to speakHeart to heart and cheek to cheek then I complete the beat(chorus)Tempos moving and Im hoping itll never fade away...The beat is grooving, words are soothing and please tell me that youre hereTo stayIn the morning and Im hoping the morning come againHold me close and give me another dose andKeep the beat dont ever let it endShe said, ah, so far, you didnt miss a beat yetPop in another cassette, then Im in to wreckIll give you a beat you never had before,I had to explore and came up wit moreDeep trunk kicks wit a brick for a drum stickYou know the song, dont hum along, come quickYou lay like sade, it feels like paradiseAt the top of the pyramid, we review new heightsThe scenery of egypt, you and me as we getSo deep in the groove, when you move, you get seasickYou seen enough, close your eyes and relaxMove wit the tracks and stay tuned for the saxThe instrumental, enters your mental..Tense but gentle and, sentimental,Accapella as we start to speakHeart to heart and cheek to cheek then I complete the beatChorusShe wanted the extended versionSo I kept splurging and add more words in;Strong: the emotion, notions move andThe poetrys smoking, potions soothing,There goes the moon, Im far from done,Rise like the sun, here comes the sunAnd I wont stop till it sets and thenRewind the cassettes and Im a play it again;But this time its instrumental at a faster tempoAll I wanna hear is yea rakim, go!I work overtime on your body and mindcause Im incline to do both combinedMy job is never done but done wellHorizontal or parallelAccapella as we start to speakHeart to heart and cheek to cheek then I complete the beatChorus
