ERIC B. & RAKIM - Eric B is President lyrics

rate me

I came in the doorI said it before

I never let the mic magnatize me no more

But it's biting mefighting meinviting me to rhyme

I can't hold it backI'm looking for the line

Taking off my coatclearing my throat

My rhyme will be kicking it until I hit my last note

My mind'll range to find all kinds of ideas

Self-esteem makes it seem like a thought took years to build

But still say a rhyme after the next one

Preparednever scaredI'll just bless one

And you know that I'm the soloist

So eric bmake 'em clap to this

I don't bug out or chill or be acting ill

No tricks in '86it's time to build

Eric b easy on the cutno mistakes allowed

Cuz to memc means move the crowd

I made it easy to dance to this

But can you detect what's coming next from the flex of the wrist

Saying indeed that I precede cuz my man made a mix

If he bleed he won't need no band-aid to fix

If they can get some around until there's no rhymes left

I hurry up because the cut will make 'em bleed to death

But he's kicking it because it ain't no half stepping

The party is livethe rhyme can't be kept in-

Sideit needs erupting just like a volcano

It ain't the everyday style of the same old rhyme

Because I'm better then the rest of them

Eric b is on the cut and my name is rakim

Go get a girl and get soft and warm

Don't get excitedyou've been invited to a quiet storm

But now it's out of hand cuz you told me you hate me

And then you ask what have I done lately

First you said all you want is love and affection

Let me be your angel and I'll be your protection

Take you outbuy you all kinds of things

I must of got you too hot and burned off your wings

You caught an attitudeyou need food to eat up

I'm scheming like I'm dreaming on a couch wit my feet up

You scream I'm lazyyou must be crazy

Thought I was a donutyou tried to glaze me

Funky...
