Me and Eric B was coolin' at the Paladium
   Seen a all-world covered girl, I said "Hey lady I'm
   Sorry if You're in a rush - Don't let me hold ya up
   Or interveen 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 the 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 doesn't start until one o'clock
   And once I entered your mind I wouldn't wanna stop
   Caressin' ya thoughts till we was thinkin' the same
   Calm ya nerves, massage ya brain
   Each mic is a mineral, poetry's protein
   Verse is a vitamin - Affects like Codine
   So tell me how you feel and I'll 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
  
   Chorus:
  
   Over Me, She's goin' crazy
   She'll rub me on my chest and call me Mr. Sexy
   She said she'd have my kids and help me make my next G
   Tell me I ain't finesse Mahogony . . .
  
  
   Verse Two:
  
   So I prescribed her, something to revive
   And surprise her, she's liver and much more wiser
   Than the light I shine when my brain cells spark,
   Come to me so we can glow in the dark
   And 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
   F*ck 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
   Back to the scene of the crime on time
   As they introduced the 'Fiend of the Rhyme'
   She stood with a birds-eye view of me
   Thinkin' of later on of what she would do to me
   The back of the room I could see her eyes gloom
   Patient, but hopin' that the show was over soon
   As the place was ripped in half, she made her way to the front row
   So I said "let's go"
   I packed my mic as they screamed for an encore
   The speakers were blown, plus my mic was sore
   Besides I got places to go, ladies to see
   And she could tell me how crazy she was over me
   We drove off - she said she liked the way that I performed
   And couldn't wait to get 'soft and warm', I said,
   "I've been watchin' you, watchin' me
   Looks I received made it hard to MC
   I can take a hint, so I knew that she
   Wanted my "Agony Agony Ag-on-y" in her bod-y
   Showed her some sights, then I took her to the Condo
   She was pipin' hot, but I kept my calm So
   She asked how come I don't smile
   I said, "Everything's fine, but I'm in a New York state of mind!"
   As we reached the kingdom, she said bring some
   Champagne, she'll entertain then sing some
   Sentimental, songs real gentle,
   It hit the spot and you know where it went to
   As we embraced I felt her heart pumpin'
   I knew she was in the mood for somethin'
   So I laid on my back and relaxed
   It wasn't the Perignon that made her collaspe
   Over me
  
   Chorus
