The R

Whoever underestimated, still waited
Pumping the radio, finally they played it
You wondered how come the album was late
I was giving you time to get the last one straight
The show must go on, I got something to dance to
Slow it down and romance to and give me a chance to

Keep you in tune and up to par
Then you're doing it with The R (The R, The R...)

Doing it with The R (The R, The R...)

Something new and to keep you doing whatcha doing
This is for you and your crew
And for who in the vicinity, I don't need no identity
I see hands in the air that means many be
Cooperating, I can't stop relating
Hip-hop is making more sense when I'm stating

Paragraphs of potential to prevent you
From using my instrumental, keep in mind I meant to
Illustrate another iller break immediately
Hurry up and learn the words and repeat it with me

Then soon you're in tune and up to par
And then you're doing it wit The R (The R, The R...)
Keep doing it, you keep doing it wit The R (The R, The R...)

In the summertime, pockets bulging
Something's happening then I'm indulging
Music is mine, Gucci seats reclined
Gold grill, a paint job will shine
Pull up in the park and then pop the trunk
Turn up the bass and let the system thump

A block party starts to form, people start to swarm
Loud as a ghetto blaster, word is bond
Records remind you of a madness
The moment it's played, you get gladdest

The return of the brother, keeping you up to par
And you're doing it with The R (The R, The R...)

You know what I'm sayin'
The microphone fiend Rakim in full effect
DJ Eric B. need more records to wreck
To the Queens Posse
You're doing it with The R (The R, The R...)

Brooklyn, you're doing it with The R (The R, The R...)
The Bronx is doing it with The R (The R, The R...)
Manhattan, keep doing it with The R (The R, The R...)
And Strong Island, keep doing it with The R (The R, The R...)

Wyandanch and the Paid in Full posse
Doing it with The R (The R, The R...)
Peace to the Nation of Islam
And I'm outta here, out (out, out, out)
