The R (Remix Edit)

The R
Ooh aah, on the beat now
Been a long time, pump up the R
It's been a long time, pump up, pump up the R
It's been a long time, pump up the R
It's been a long time, pump up, pump up the R

Whoever underestimated, still waited
Pumpin' the radio, finally they played it
You wondered how come the album was late
I was givin' ya time to get the last one straight
The show must go on, I got somethin' to dance to
Slow it down and romance to, and gimme a chance to
Keep you in tune and up to par
Then you're doing it with the R

Doin' it with the R

Somethin' new and, to keep you doing, what'cha 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
Cooperatin', I can't stop relatin'
Hip-hop is makin' more sense when I'm statin'

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 wit' me
Then soon you're in tune and up to par
And then you're doing it wit the R

Ya keep doin' it
Ya keep doin' it with the R

The R
The R
The R
The R

In the Summertime, pockets bulgin'
Somethin's happenin', then I'm indulgin'
Music is mine, Gucci seats recline
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 gladness
The return of the brother, keepin' you up to par
And you're doin' it with 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 doin' it with the R
Brooklyn, you're doin' it with the R
The Bronx, is doin' it with the R
Manhattan, keep doin' it with the R

And Strong Island, you're doin' it with the R
Wyandanch and the Paid in Full posse, doin' it with the R
Peace to the Nation of Islam
And I'm outta here
Out
Yo, what happened to peace?
Peace
