Me and Eric be	 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 want to 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 be" 

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 want to 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 

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-why" in her bod-why 

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]
