on a similar (and equally obnoxious) note...my bro was studying SATs while watching BET with me and it suddenly occurred to me that it'd
be kinda interesting to have a SAT II: Rap English.
Passage IX
The below passage is taken from by the popular ballad Me and U by Cassie.
(intro-)
it's me and you
now
i've been waiting,i think i gonna make that move
now
baby tell me how you like it 5
[Verse 1]
U've been waiting so long, I'm here to answer your calls
I know that I shouldn't have had you waiting at all
I've been so busy, but I've been thinking 'bout- what I wanna do wit you
I know them other guys, they've been talking 'bout the way I do what I do
They heard I was good, they wanna see if it's true 10
They know your the one I wanna give it to
I can see you want me too...Now it's Me & U
[Hook]
It's Me & U now (uh) I've been waiting (waitin)
Think I'm gonna make that move now
Baby Tell me if you like it (tell me if you like it) 15
It's Me & U now
I've been waitin
Think I'm gonna make that move now
Baby tell me how you like it
[Verse 2]
I was waitin for you to tell me you were ready 20
I know what to do if only you would let me
As long as your cool with it I'll treat ya right
Here is where you wanna be
I know them other guys, they've been talkin 'bout the way I do what I do
They heard I was good they wanna see if it's true 25
They know you r the one I wanna give it to
I can see you want me too
And now it's Me & U
[Chorus]
It's Me & U now (baby it's)
I've been waitin (Me & U) 30
Think I'm gonna make that move now (I'm thinkin 'bout making that move)
Baby tell me if you like it (Tell me if you like it, uh huh, hey!)
Think I'm gonna make that move now (gonna make a move)
Baby tell me how you like it
[Bridge]
Baby I'll love you all the way down (uh) 35
Get you right where you like it
I promise you'll like it (I swear)
Just relax and let me make that move (It's our secret babe)
We'll keep it between Me & U
