Lyrics Eric B. & Rakim

Eric B. & Rakim

Kick Along

Kick along

Kick along

Kick along

If you like it acapella

Soul clap will be sweet

Almost complete

Feel the impact when it hit the street

But uh, it sound thicker when I kick it wit a beat

See I can let it speak for itself

But every now and then, I need a little help

Guess who, to the rescue? Comp

Ripping up comp, I step and then stomp

A spark scam'll skin the land like it's a 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 (kickin' wit da beat)

My mentallect gets warm

Feed into your physical form

You can't keep calm

Get fit to the skit, try to hop on

Get up to the trick as I flip the script

You're feeling rust like a thrust of an arrow, plus

You're looking through the eye of a barrel, Bus

Emergency! Take him to the operating room

Put him on the floor, let his heart feel the boom

React to the wrath of a brand new song

Then kick along

Kick along

Kick along

Kick along

Kick along

Kick along

A kick is a hip wit 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 something like Simon says

As I'm pumping hype rhymes in your heads

The mic's a remote control and I'm pointing it at cha

When I push buttons, you're gonna have ta

Break straight to the floor

'Cause I'm a make more

Each one's composed in the shows

And each one flows, how long, nobody knows

And whoever try to take 'em, I'm a break 'em

Drag it out of him, dehydrate 'em

The beat makes the beat in your heart accelerate

Your pulse is a drum roll, it's 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 getting asthma

You try to keep up, because, the cut has ya

Blood pressure to the point, never stops a drop

Putting stain in the veins in the brain, ya blood clots

Too quick to pause it, you almost lost it

So kick along to 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 wit a beat

C'mon, kick along

Kick along

Kick along

Kick along

They can't wait to kick steps to this

So I make a skit just for kicks

Syncopated, pausing though

Innovated 'cause the flow

Melodic and melodramatic styles occur

Like a choreographer, my mind's a photographer

Making 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'cha get that

Here's the concept, part of you're concert

Expect the expert to perfect and do work

Don't stop the song 'til I'm gone

Keep getting it on, kick it off with the horns

Kick along

Kick along

Kick along

Kick it wit a beat
