Eric B. & Rakim - Step Back Lyrics
See if you can step to this* eric b. cuts up the phrase back to the lab *Now try to do this step (back to the lab)And make sure the pace is keptAnd this aint as smooth as ima getNice and easy but hard to catch on toMove with melodies, rhymes to respond toThe mics in front of me, so you know its gonna beRough and rugged, plus Im smooth as I wanna beIm somethin like sippin on dom perignonSo absorb the song, til the rhymes all goneMy beats and speech original, you cant find theseEighty-nine is mine, so is the ninetiesTellin you what you need to know and moreYoure unsure? on tour, I exploreFrom street to street, to speak, from beat after beatMy cyphers complete, when I build with people I meetSo heres the info straight from the source in factPaid the cost to be the boss, step backGive me room to exercise the mindThree-hundred and sixty degreesll be fineThe weight of the world is what we holdThats a six, followed by twenty-one zeroesSix ? ? sums is a lot of weightMy truth is the strength and my thought wont breakWhat it take, concentration, to rebuild ourNation but we got to have mind powerAnd we can make it work, because I know we canAnd if somethin go wrong, make another planIts up to us, so strive and be wise andWhen we reach the top, dont stop risinAnd Ill keep comin up with more ofThe most requested songs that you all loveReach out and touch the mic, take controlStill gettin +paid+ and I still got +soul+And the only thing I ever wanted you to follow was poetryMind takes x-rays, so listen closelyFrom the darkness came the light, clear out of a dark nightNow Im here to spark the micSend out truth, for other groups and substitutesWith run-on rhymes and weak dubs and loopsTheyd rather hear the arsonist, they insistNo need to reminisce, see if you can step to this* eric b. cuts up the phrase back to the lab *Step back* eric b. cuts up the phrase back to the lab ** eric b. cuts up the phraseBack to the lab, without a mic to grab *So just step* eric b. cuts up the phrase back to the lab ** eric b. cuts up the phraseBack to the lab, without a mic.. *Just step, the rhymes create energyCharged up, by the cut, and its sendin meFor a trip through the mind so I can locateA laid back rap at a slow rateIt aint hard at all, cause I invented itAs the days go on, you hear them with itBrother bustin braincells, thinkin of a rapWith the same old style, we had enough of thatWe all need somethin to step toAnd dont forget to, cause I wont let youDance without hopin that this come on nextAnd if it go off, the dj cant flexCause heres the tempo, ima regulate the paceHeres the step, go find some spaceAnd what we gonna do is in unison, kickShake your head, youre influenced with musicBy now youre intoxicated, cause I prove I made itThe pep your step so soon you get rejuvenatedFrom side to side, you pause and clapBut if you came to rap.. (step back)* eric b. cuts up the phraseBack to the lab, without a mic to grab ** eric b. cuts up the phraseBack to the lab, without a mic to grab ** eric b. cuts up the phrase back to the lab ** continues to fade *
