Keep The Beat Lyrics by Eric B. & Rakim

Keep The Beat Lyrics

    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 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,
    Accapella as we start to speak
    Heart to heart and cheek to cheek then i complete the beat

    Chorus

    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 wanna 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
    Accapella as we start to speak
    Heart to heart and cheek to cheek then i complete the beat

    Chorus
