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
