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 kept
   and this ain't as smooth as I'ma get
   Nice and easy but hard to catch on to
   Move with melodies, rhymes to respond to
   The mic's in front of me, so you know it's gonna be
   rough and rugged, plus I'm smooth as I wanna be
   I'm somethin like sippin on Dom Perignon
   So absorb the song, til the rhyme's all gone
   My beats and speech original, you can't find these
   Eighty-nine is mine, so is the nineties
   Tellin you what you need to know and more
   You're unsure? On tour, I explore
   From street to street, to speak, from beat after beat
   My cypher's complete, when I build with people I meet
   So here's the info straight from the source in fact
   Paid the cost to be the boss, STEP BACK
   give me room to exercise the mind
   Three-hundred and sixty degrees'll be fine
   The weight of the world is what we hold
   That's a six, followed by twenty-one zeroes
   Six sex shit, sums is a lot of weight
   My truth is the strength and my thought won't break
   What it take, concentration, to rebuild our
   nation but we got to have mind power
   And we can make it work, because I know we can
   And if somethin go wrong, make another plan
   It's up to us, so strive and be wise and
   when we reach the top, don't stop risin
   And I'll keep comin up with more of
   the most requested songs that you all love
   Reach out and touch the mic, take control
   Still gettin +Paid+ and I still got +Soul+
   And the only thing I ever wanted you to follow was poetry
   Mind takes X-rays, so listen closely
   From the darkness came the light, clear out of a dark night
   Now I'm here to spark the mic
   Send out truth, for other groups and substitutes
   with run-on rhymes and weak dubs and loops
   They'd rather hear the arsonist, they insist
   No need to reminisce, see if you can step to this

   So just step

   Just step, the rhymes create energy
   Charged up, by the cut, and it's sendin me
   for a trip through the mind so I can locate
   a laid back rap at a slow rate
   It ain't hard at all, cause I invented it
   As the days go on, you hear them with it
   Brother bustin braincells, thinkin of a rap
   with the same old style, we had enough of that
   We all need somethin to step to
   And don't forget to, cause I won't let you
   dance without hopin that this come on next
   And if it go off, the DJ can't flex
   Cause here's the tempo, I'ma regulate the pace
   Here's the step, go find some space
   And what we gonna do is in unison, KICK
   Shake your head, you're influenced with music
   By now you're intoxicated, cause I prove I made it
   the pep your step so soon you get rejuvenated
   From side to side, you pause and clap
   But if you came to rap.. (step back)
