Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm ready, I'm willin', and I'm able to rock and roll all night
Come on, pretty baby, we gonna rock, we gonna roll until the broad daylight
Because I'm ready
And I'm able
I'm willin' and I'm able
So you better come and go with me
Talkin' on the phone is not my speed
Don't send me no letter `cause I can't read
Don't be long `cause I'll be gone
We gonna rock and roll all night long
`Cause I'm ready, I'm willin', and I'm able to rock and roll all night
I'm ready, I'm willin', and I'm able to rock and roll all night
Come on, pretty baby, we gonna rock, we gonna roll until tomorrow night
Talkin' on the phone is not my speed
Don't send me no letter `cause I can't read
Don't be long `cause I'll be gone
We gonna rock and roll all night long
`Cause I'm ready, I'm willin', and I'm able to rock and roll all night
I'm ready, I'm willin', and I'm able to rock and roll all night
Come on, pretty baby, we gonna rock, we gonna roll until tomorrow night

[Verse 1: Rakim]
Hey yo, it’s something about the evening air in the summertime
Certain sounds that I fiend to hear, I wanna rhyme
My inner vision causes my metabolism to climb
And then I splatter my wisdom and the design
I leave time suspended and break gravity’s laws
Metaforce to the world ain’t spinning no more
And from there I put sounds to hear, in the autumn air
Sorta rare, something y’all will compare to Baudelaire

@g8terasher
Squatting pissed in a tube hole at Tottenham Court? Had you just come out of the Ship? Shouting lager, lager, lager, lager?
@craigsambrook1122
I’ve listened to this mix approximately 500 times and each time it makes me angry that he changed his sound to fit in with wider dance music conversation. This in your face house and beat was what he did best. Mixing out of underworld into groove as made is beautiful
@Scubadevils
Ah man, I had this on cassette back then - so many years since I've heard it, played it so much in my car.
@oscardelmontay
I hammered this CD when I was 19. Thanks for the upload as it's now being streamed whilst I sit at my desk at work :-)
@greeneyeddevil7251
