Prodigy of Mobb Deep
The Roof (Back in Time) [Mobb Deep Extended Version]
[Intro: Prodigy & sample]
Infamous, it don't stop
Yeah, yeah
Infamous, knock 'em out the box
Yo
I got you stuck off the realness
Infamous, knock 'em out the box
I got you stuck off the realness
[Verse 1: Mariah Carey]
It wasn't raining yet
(Yet)
But it was definitely a little misty on
(But it was definitely)
That warm November night
And my heart was pounding
(Pounding)
My inner voice resounding
Begging me to turn away
But I just had to see your face
To feel alive
And then you casually walked in the room
And I was twisted in the web
Of my desire for you
(And I was twisted)
My apprehension blew away
I only wanted you
To taste my sadness
As you kissed me in the dark
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
Every time I feel the need (and every time)
I envision you caressing me
And go back in time (back in time)
(I go back, I go back, I go back)
To relive the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night
[Verse 2: Mariah Carey]
And so we finished the Moët and
I started feeling liberated
And I surrendered as you took me in your arms
(You took me in your arms)
I was so caught up in the moment
I couldn't bear to let you go yet (so I)
So I threw caution to the wind
And started listening to my longing heart
And then you softly pressed your lips to mine
And feelings surfaced I'd suppressed
For such a long long time
(And I was lifted)
And for a while I forgot
The sorrow and the pain
And melted with you as we stood
There in the rain
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
Every time I feel the need (and every time)
I envision you caressing me
(Envision you, caressing me)
And go back in time (back in time)
(Back)
To relive the splendor of you and I (you and I, you and I)
On the rooftop that rainy night
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
(Every time)
Every time I feel the need (and every time)
I envision you caressing me
(Envision you)
And go back in time (back in time)
To relive the splendor of you and I (you...)
On the rooftop that rainy night
[Bridge: Mariah Carey]
Last night I dreamed that I
(Last night I... dreamed that I...)
Whispered the words I love you
(That I love you boy...)
And touched you so very (touched)
Subtly as we were kissing goodbye
(Kiss... kiss... bye...)
[Verse 3: Prodigy]
Infamous rocks the box
I got you stuck off the realness
Feel this pourin' down on your buildings
The rain about to fall
I score up in the project hall
Third floor, grab a taste on the staircase
As we embrace strictly loud without the raw bass
Me and my ol' dog blowin' out the smokes fog
But over all you the one that's like my pistol
I see it crystal
Keep you on my side, you the ficial
[Verse 4: Havoc & Big Noyd]
Ain't it ill how we click boo, me and you
Got me stuck off the realness
Just me and you
Up on the roof beats
Pebble Beach
Talk to me anytime
Even when I wit my peeps
Ruler L why you smell like the perfume Chanel
Push big G's
Rapper Noyd simply hit me
We can do it on the rooftop
Do it till we both drop
M-O-B-B with Mariah sounds so hot
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
(Every time I...)
Every time I feel the need (and every time)
I envision you caressing me
(Envision you, caressing me)
And go back in time (back in time)
To relive the splendor of you and I (I go back)
On the rooftop that rainy night
(On the roof that rainy night)
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
Every time I feel the need (and every time)
(When I feel the need, I envision you)
I envision you caressing me
(Over and over and over again)
And go back in time (back in time)
To relive the splendor of you and I
(It was oh so sweet, you and I)
On the rooftop that rainy night
(On that rainy night)
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
Every time I feel the need (and every time)
(Last night I had the strangest dream...)
I envision you caressing me
(It was actually quite symbolic)
And go back in time (back in time)
(As I whispered... That I loved you)
To relive the splendor of you and I
(...very subtly)
On the rooftop that rainy night
[Chorus: Mariah Carey & Prodigy]
Every time I feel the need (and every time)
(Infamous, it don't stop)
(Infamous, rocks the box)
I envision you caressing me
(Infamous, knock 'em out the box)
And go back in time (back in time)
To relive the splendor of you and I
(Infamous, rocks the box)
On the rooftop that rainy night
(Infamous, knock 'em out the box)
[Outro: Havoc]
