[Intro: Rakim]
Yeah, check it out, we don't stop

[Chorus: Connie McKendrick]
We love to flirt
To chase the skirts
Get to know who we are
Girls at the park
When we in the club
We keep it extra hot (They don't stop)
They love the whips, the chicks
The neighborhood superstars
Boys on the block
Thugs in the hood, we don't ever stop
Never stop

[Verse 1: Rakim]
I go where the masses go
We all act natural, think rational
Those with a passion blow
Cats have to know, master your craft
Stash your dough, stay on the low
But never be the last to know
The next level or plateau be international
The grass'll grow, you know
Cashes flow, ask a pro
Do the math, get it fast or slow
Your girl's passin gold like a fashion show
The sun'll shine, make it feel like the summertime
Shorty's runnin' blind, lookin' like they just done a crime
Clicks want they pockets thick, cop a whip, proper chick
Street scholarships, politic your dollars quick
Since birth we [?], we was the first in the pack
They say "Herb's a trap", now it's worse than that
So I observe the haps', let my words attack
Until it hurts to rap
Until the earth collapsed
[Chorus: Connie McKendrick]
We love to flirt
To chase the skirts
Get to know who we are
Girls at the park
When we in the club
We keep it extra hot (They don't stop)
They love the whips the chicks
The neighborhood superstars
Boys on the block
Thugs in the hood, we don't ever stop
Never stop

[Verse 2: Rakim]
You know it seem like life's just begun
My lust is young
I wanna find me a lovely hon, crush me one
Bust a lung, give her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation
Let her hug me when I'm done
Tongue touch me 'til I'm numb
But first the outcome is income and then some
Get enough to run and spend some for fun
Then me and my thugs, we come in the club
We swung lovely, watch how big the buzz be, trust me son
Every ghetto got game in it, fame in it
We remain in it, waitin' for the main event
Like the days on the corner, we watch the world go by
On the nights that wasn't right
Like when a good friend died
Yo the street's got a deadly hum, like a drug
We need to find a way to fill the neighborhood with love
From the park to the block, to your favorite spot
It don't stop
[Chorus: Connie McKendrick]
We love to flirt
To chase the skirts
Get to know who we are
Girls at the park
When we in the club
We keep it extra hot (They don't stop)
They love the whips the chicks
The neighborhood superstars
Boys on the block
Thugs in the hood, we don't ever stop
Never stop

[Verse 3: Rakim]
I extend the prowl I been on since a child
It don't make sense to browse, it's intensive now
Women in crowds, I search for the gem in the Nile
Who stay original, even when the friends around
Since her style always commands a smile
And her femme fatale cause men to growl
I take president of principal, then arouse
Still the treasure is Rakim, the smooth criminal
Damn, it's on, keep my hands on this amazon
Legs for marathons
Voice like Sarah Vaughan
Precise, alright
I like when her sights entice, with a spice of life
Flow times twice as nice
And when she go shop, the show stop
Shock the whole block
She so hot, I clothes shop, put it on lock
Body that won't drop, bounce like hip-hop
It don't stop
[Chorus: Connie McKendrick]
We love to flirt
To chase the skirts
Get to know who we are
Girls at the park
When we in the club
We keep it extra hot (They don't stop)
They love the whips the chicks
The neighborhood superstars
Boys on the block
Thugs in the hood, we don't ever stop
Never stop
