Eric B is President — текст песни (Eric B. and Rakim)

I came in the door, I said it before
I never let the mic magnetize me no more
But it`s biting me, fighting me, inviting me to rhyme
I can`t hold it back, I`m looking for the line,
Taking off my coat, clearing my throat
The rhyme will be kicking it until I hit my last note
My mind remains to find all kinda ideas
Self-esteem makes it seem like a thought took years to build
But still say a rhyme after the next one
Prepared, never scared, I`ll just bless one
And you know that I`m the soloist
So Eric B, make `em clap to this

I don`t bug out or chill or be acting ill
No tricks in `86, it`s time to build
Eric B easy on the cut, no mistakes allowed
Cuz to me, MC means move the crowd
I made it easy to dance to this
But can you detect what`s coming next from the flex of the wrist
Say "Indeed" then I proceed cuz my man made a mix
If he bleed he won`t need no band-aid to fix
his fingertips, so I rhyme until there`s no rhymes left
I hurry up because the cut will make him bleed to death
But he`s kicking it cuz it ain`t no half steppin`
The party is live, the Rak can`t be kept inside
if he`s eruptin` just like a volcano
It ain`t the everyday style or the same old rhyme
Cuz I`m better then the rest of them
Eric B is on the cut and my name is Rakim

Go get a girl and get soft and warm,
Don`t get excited, you`ve been invited to a quiet storm
But now it`s out of hand cuz you told me you hate me
And then you ask what have I done lately
First you said all you want is love and affection
Let me be your angel and I`ll be your protection
Take you out, buy you all kinds of things
I must of got you too hot and burned off your wings
You caught an attitude, you need food to eat up
I`m scheming like I`m dreaming on a couch wit my feet up
You scream I`m lazy, you must be crazy
Thought I was a donut, you tried to glaze me

Funky...
