What's On Your Mind (House Party II Rap Theme) - Extended Vocal Version

Lyrics

I seen her in the subway, on my way to Brooklyn
 Hello good lookin', is this seat tooken
 On the A-train, pickin' at her brain
 I couldn't get her number, couldn't get her name
 I said I still like your style of fashion
 But I hate your high sadity attitude wit' a passion
 Is it because brothers like to hawk a lot?
 Is it because your sign don't talk a lot?
 She turned away, no play, I said okay
 You don't really look good, I hope ya have a bad day
 Sat back, relaxed, though the ride was tight
 I was thinkin' of the rhymes I wrote last night
 Next stop was mine, a familar scene
 I was meetin' my friend, killer Ben, in Fort Greene
 Where the girls are real, they tell ya how they feel
 If you're soft, you're soft, or if you're hard like steel
 See I don't bend, and I won't rust
 And I don't break, and I won't bust
 Stomped up the street, and did I hear a treat?
 Hard high heels tappin' on the concrete
 I took a peek, it was the girl from the train behind me
 Did she live in the area, was she tryin' to find me?
 Hmm, I didn't wanna play myself out
 I played it off, stopped, then I bought a Guinness Stout
 Now was she shy, she didn't walk by
 She came in the store, and she even said hi
 Curiosity, at a high velocity
 Maybe possibly, she had the hots for me
 I said, "If we're playin' games, then we're gonna play mine"
 I'mma lay the rules 'cause it ain't much time
 If you hide your feelings, it ain't hard to find
 I wanna know what's on your mind
 ♪
 About a week went by and I called her, "Hello"
 I said yo, could I speak to um, she said no
 'Ey yo, I know I didn't call, I didn't wanna stress you
 Go out my way to impress you, press to undress you
 See I wanna get to know you, so I could show you
 What a strong relationship can grow to
 But you gotta trust me, and you're gonna love me
 Squeeze the phone and hug me, use your mind to rub me
 Now how does it feel when my mental, massage ya temple
 Telephone's hot from the vibes that I sent you
 Now tell me your inner thoughts and deepest emotions
 Next you see ecstacy's explosions
 Now I'm coming to see you, to spend some time
 I'm a romantic warrior, but is it a crime
 And if ya hide your feelings, it ain't hard to find
 I wanna know what's on your mind
 ♪
 I wanna know what's on your mind
 ♪
 Now it's been months, and it's smooth and lovely
 I'm in your head, so you'll be thinking of me
 So we met in Queens, and went to Valley Streams
 And I, couldn't remember the movie we just seen
 But it's Wednesday, take the train uptown
 How do the a 125th street sound?
 Amateur night, Showtime at the Apollo
 Probably be watchin' Bill Cosby tomorrow
 Then after that get into it, I mean intimate
 Every word is a instrument
 Makin' sounds and tones and songs and moans
 My lips so close to ya ear, it's like headphones
 She smiled, and said "you never know what the day will bring"
 It's always a new song to sing
 The next day I went back to her rest
 Knocked on the door, intentions, finesse
 She let me in and had nothing but a negligee on
 Smellin' like Liz Claiborne
 I sat down and got comfortable, and watched the Huxtables
 She sat next to me, and said what's up wit' you
 I got the feelin', for sexual healin'
 An' mental healin', now how you feelin'
 She caught the effect, and said she feel the same
 Could you massage my intellect and stop the pain
 Desire's yearnin', the fire's burnin'
 You hot 'cause it's alot you're learnin'
 Now I'm ready to explore you inner world
 It's take a long time, 'cause I'm just beginning, girl
 Take it easy, cut off the TV
 Cut off the lights, use your mind to see me
 Use your physical form if I'm hard to find
 'Cause now I know what's on your mind
 ♪
 'Cause now I know what's on your mind
