Step Back

Now try to do this step ("Back to the lab")

and make sure the pace is kept

and this ain't as smooth as I'ma get

Nice and easy but hard to catch on to

Move with melodies, rhymes to respond to

The mic's in front of me, so you know it's gonna be

rough and rugged, plus I'm smooth as I wanna be

I'm somethin like sippin on Dom Perignon

So absorb the song, til the rhyme's all gone

My beats and speech original, you can't find these

Eighty-nine is mine, so is the nineties

Tellin you what you need to know and more

You're unsure? On tour, I explore

From street to street, to speak, from beat after beat

My cypher's complete, when I build with people I meet

So here's the info straight from the source in fact

Paid the cost to be the boss, STEP BACK

give me room to exercise the mind

Three-hundred and sixty degrees'll be fine

The weight of the world is what we hold

That's a six, followed by twenty-one zeroes

Six sextillion tons is a lot of weight

My truth is the strength and my thought won't break

What it take, concentration, to rebuild our

nation but we got to have mind power

And we can make it work, because I know we can

And if somethin go wrong, make another plan

It's up to us, so strive and be wise and

when we reach the top, don't stop risin

And I'll keep comin up with more of

the most requested songs that you all love

Reach out and touch the mic, take control

Still gettin +Paid+ and I still got +Soul+

And the only thing I ever wanted you to follow was poetry

Mine takes X-rays, so listen closely

From the darkness came the light, clear out of a dark night

Now I'm here to spark the mic

Send out truth, for other groups and substitutes

with run-on rhymes and weak dubs and loops

They'd rather hear the arsonist, they insist

No need to reminisce, see if you can step to this

Step back

* Eric B. cuts up the phrase "Back to the lab" *

* Eric B. cuts up the phrase

"Back to the lab, without a mic to grab" *

So just step

* Eric B. cuts up the phrase "Back to the lab" *

* Eric B. cuts up the phrase

"Back to the lab, without a mic.." *

Just step, the rhymes create energy

Charged up, by the cut, and it's sendin me

for a trip through the mind so I can locate

a laid back rap at a slow rate

It ain't hard at all, cause I invented it

As the days go on, you hear them with it

Brother bustin braincells, thinkin of a rap

with the same old style, we had enough of that

We all need somethin to step to

And don't forget to, cause I won't let you

dance without hopin that this come on next

And if it go off, the DJ can't flex

Cause here's the tempo, I'ma regulate the pace

Here's the step, go find some space

And what we gonna do is in unison, KICK

Shake your head, you're influenced with music

By now you're intoxicated, cause I prove I made it

the pep your step so soon you get rejuvenated

From side to side, you pause and clap

But if you came to rap.. (step back)
