Eric B. & Rakim — Kick Along

[Hook] Kick along [Verse 1] If you like it a capella, a soul clap will be sweet Almost complete Feel the impact when it hit the street But uh, it sound thicker when I kick it with a beat See, I can let it speak for itself But every now and then, it need a little help Guess who? To the rescue, pump Ripping up comp, I step and then stomp A small scam it's in the land like Mr. Timberland Prepare the stage for Rakim to stand Then I pick a song, grab the mic, click it on Time to get it on, kick along See if you can move to the words I speak Pick up on a rhythm (hit 'em with the beat) My mental-ect gets warm, feed into your physical form You can't keep calm Get fit to the skit, try to hop on Get hip to the trick as I flip the script You're feelin' rust like a thrust of an arrow, plus You're lookin' through the eye of a barrel, bust Emergency, take him to the operatin' room Put him on the floor, let his heart feel the boom React to the wrath of a brand new song Then kick along [Hook] [Verse 2] A kick is a hip with hop A pep wit step like the floor is hot I project a lot so you can use every kick you got But don't forget, don't kick when I stop I'm somethin' like Simon says As I'm pumpin' hype rhymes in your heads The mic's a remote control and I'm pointin' it at ya When I push buttons, you're gonna have ta Break straight to the floor 'Cause I'ma make more Each one's composed in the shows and each one flows How long? Nobody knows And whoever try to take 'em, I'ma break 'em Drag it out of him, dehydrate 'em The beat makes the beat in your heart accelerate Your pulse is a drumroll, too late to wait A pen'll send adrenaline to ten If then begin to blend the smooth that's sent That's to prevent you from gettin' asthma You try to keep up, because, the cut has ya Blood pressure to the point, never stops a drop Puttin' stain in the veins in the brain, your blood clots Too quick to pause it, you almost lost it So, kick along til you're all exhausted And look what my data made, my power'll never fade I keep it energetic, or hype as Gatorade Now kick it with a beat C'mon, kick along [Hook] [Verse 3] They can't wait to kick steps to this So, I make a skit just for kicks Syncopated, coursing through Innovated because the flow Melodic and melodramatic styles occur Like a choreographer, my mind's a photographer Makin' music visible for the individual that gets visual What I manifest you express on the dance floor Pants get torn when the jam is on 'Cause I kick rhymes until the rhymes kick back It's hard to kick that, where did you get that? Here's the concept, part of your concert Expect the expert to perfect and do work Don't stop the song 'til I'm gone Keep gettin' it on, kick it off with the horns Kick along [Hook]
