Mahogany Eric B. & Rakim

[Verse 1]
Me and Eric B was coolin' at the Palladium
Seen a all-world cover girl, I said, "Hey lady I'm
Sorry if you're in a rush, don't let me hold you up
Or intervene or interrupt, but
You got the look, I wanna get to know you better"
I had to let her know, but yo, I didn't sweat her
'Cause if you would've 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 Mahogany, 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 didn't start until one o'clock
But once I entered your mind, I wouldn't wanna stop
Caress your thoughts 'til we was thinking the same
Calm your nerves, massage your brain
Each moment's a mineral, poetry's protein
Verse is a vitamin, effects like codeine
Then 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
