She asked could I keep the beat 
So here's the beat  every time it pounds  you get weak 
Comfy  embedded like a pillow  bouncing wit an echo 
My voice is moist  and plus mellow 
I got it going on  you're gonna want to come 
Skins is the drum, I said I'm the drummer  give the drummer some 
And we'll see if you can hang wit Ra 
Let's see if you can Shangri-La 
Easy... Like Tina Marie I play it slick 
Like Rick James, I'm the fire in your desires flames; 
I heat up your temperature, keep the tempo raw 
When you start to smoke, rest assured 
I start to think 'cause you're a singer like Anita 
High pitched like a tweeter, deep beats start to beat her 
Much harder than love taps, my rap's above that 
I get girls where I want wit a maze full of love traps 
But I don't want to fall in love 
I stand in love, good balanced wit a plan to shove 
A cappella as we start to speak 
Heart to heart and cheek to cheek then I complete the beat 

[Chorus:] 

Tempo's moving and I'm hoping it'll never fade away... 
The beat is grooving, words are soothing and please tell 
Me that you're here to stay 
In the morning and I'm hoping the morning come again 
Hold me close and give me another dose and 
Keep the beat don't ever let it end 

She said, ah, so far, you didn't miss a beat yet 
Pop in another cassette, then I'm in to wreck 
I'll give you a beat you never had before, 
I had to explore and came up wit more 
Deep trunk kicks wit a brick for a drum stick 
You know the song, don't hum along, come quick 
You lay like Sade, it feels like paradise 
At the top of the pyramid, we review new heights 
The scenery of Egypt, you and me as we get 
So deep in the groove, when you move, you get seasick 
You seen enough, close your eyes and relax 
Move wit the tracks and stay tuned for the sax 
The instrumental, enters your mental.. 
Tense but gentle and, sentimental, 
A cappella as we start to speak 
Heart to heart and cheek to cheek then I complete the beat 

 
She wanted the extended version 
So I kept splurging and add more words in 
Strong, the emotion, notions move and 
The poetry's smoking, potions soothing, 
There goes the moon, I'm far from done, 
Rise like the sun, here comes the sun 
And I won't stop 'till it sets and then 
Rewind the cassettes and I'm a play it again; 
But this time it's instrumental at a faster tempo 
All I want to hear is "Yea Rakim, Go"! 
I work overtime on your body and mind 
Cause I'm incline to do both combined 
My job is never done but done well 
Horizontal or parallel 
A cappella as we start to speak 
Heart to heart and cheek to cheek then I complete the beat
