Keep The Beat - Eric B. & Rakim

She asked could I keep the beat 
So here's the beat  everytime it pounds  you get weak 
Comfy  imbedded like a pillow  bouncin wit an echo 
My voice is moist  and plus mellow 
I got it going on  you're gonna wanna 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 
Hm  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 desire's 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 lovetraps 
But I don't want to fall in love 
I stand in love, good balanced wit a plan to shove 
Accapella 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 de
