rakim - addictive
He breaks me down
He builds me up
He fills my cup
I like it rough
We fuss, we brawl
We rise, we fall
He comes in vain
But it's okay
We do, I do
He knows the rules
He takes care of home (Hey, yeah)
Though he's not alone
I'm on his team
He treats me clean
And gives me things
He makes me scream, yeah...
He's so contagious
he turns my pages (Ooh...)
He's got me anxious (Oh...)
He's what I've waited for
He keeps me guessin' (Oh...)
Spontaneous (Oh)
He's so persuasive
And I'm his lady (Oh...oh...)
Tonight is raining' (Tonight is raning')
And I ain't complainin' (And I ainâ't complainin')
I'm entertainin' (I'm entertainin')
My number one thing and (My number one)
My back is achin' (My back is achin')
From our love makin' (From our love makin')
Oh, yes, I'm taken
Ain't no use in fakin' (Oh)
My ups, my downs
My high and my lows
From head to toe
He makes me glow
He hits the spot
He makes me hot
I'm all that he's got
And he's all that I got
He's so contagious
he turns my pages (Ooh...)
He's got me anxious (Oh...)
He's what I've waited for
He keeps me guessin' (Oh...)
Spontaneous (Oh)
He's so persuasive
And I'm his lady (Oh...oh...)
Thinkin' of a master plan
You know anything you need, baby, ask your man
You was there from a half a gram
Now it's kilos and C notes, and high fashion brands
We ball like we own the world
The only concern is you my only girl
And when we speakin' in tongues
Breathin' hard when I'm squeezin' your lungs
Keep it strong, but I gotta hit the streets when I'm done
It's joy and pain when you try and get ahead of the game
It's f***ed up, but you never complain
You just pray I don't killed when I hit the hood
Just another hundred mil' and I'mma quit for good
No more drug wars, trips to jail and shoot outs
Gettin' loot out for lawyers and bail to get your boot out
Just me and you, high off sex and twisted
You O.G. till you O.D., addicted
He's so contagious
he turns my pages
He's got me anxious
He's what I've waited for
He keeps me guessin'
Spontaneous
He's so persuasive (So persuasive)
And I'm his lady (And I'm his lady)
He's so contagious
he turn my pages
He's got me anxious
He's what I've waited for
He keeps me guessin'
Spontaneous
He's so persuasive
And I'm his lady
rakim - all night long
(1st verse)
I?m back! the God remains, still at the end
They sabotage the game, still I?m a win
Rakim allah?s the name, and with a pen
No one can dodge the rain, kill?em again
In a club or the streets I swerve, cool in the cut
Looking to see what occurs, crusin? the truck
Shorty got deadly curves, soothin? her up
If I must explain with words, I smooth as a fuck!
The world?s most greatest hip-hop?s elite
You obsolete, you cannot compete, drop the beat
Keep ya ear to the ground when I rock the street
Cock the heat, we deep papi got to eat
So cut on the mic and spit, I much rougher
Plenty of ice and a whip, plus a crusher
Because I don?t like to stick, or bust a brother
Long as they never forget I?m a ill muther fucker
(chorus)
So if you love to get your party on
And you feel that your game is strong
And you get mad when the broads is gone
You like it all-night-long
And when they love it when the place is warm
And they go out for their favorite song
They hate when the player game is wrong
They like it all-night-long
(2nd verse)
My caliber?s out rated
Yeah player, so why hate it
My rhyme through out of control, when I say it
Spit back with a rap or gat, can I spray it
How can I say it? I leave it de-hydrated
I take aim, and he keep the place flamin?
Till the place cave in, aye yo this ain?t a safe haven
The best is yet to come, so they stay in
They keep the music loud, the lights is low
The kid with a different style, I like to flow
It?s time to move the crowd, tonight?s the show
See what it?s all about, they like to go
Get henny and mo and cris, the clothes, the platinum, gold, the wrist
Plenty of doe, and chicks who pose for flicks
Women who love roll their hips, when I?m holding this
(instrumental chorus)
My mic?s a equipped with a microchip, with a million megs
Bite this I might flip, spread a billion plagues
Put medicine in it before I kill ya dead
You can get away, if you can fill your legs
Could you walk? no, at least you thought though
Auto fours blow a hole in your torso
Damage his brain with more flow until he talk slow
Try to say something now? I thought so!
I leave emcee?s bleeding, while I?m fleeing across sea-in
Start breeding, double my swiss cheese in sweden
Free on the weekend, come back see if he breathing
They breathing, somebody left his brains beat in
A deadly attack is rare, style will be raw
Be ready to rap you?ll hear, as wild as before
If I bust a gat in the air, watch the galaxy fall
And the world will be splat on the floor, that?ll be all
rakim - casualties of war
Casualties of war; as I approach the barricade
Where?s the enemy? who do I invade?
Bullets of teflon, bulletproof vest rip
Tear ya outta ya frame with a bag full of clips
Cause I got a family that waits for my return
To get back home is my main concern
I?ma get back to new york in one piece
But I?m bent in the sand that is hot as the city streets
Sky lights up like fireworks blind me
Bullets, whistlin over my head remind me...
President bush said attack
Flashback to nam, I might not make it back
Missile hits the area, screams wake me up
From a war of dreams, heat up the m-16
Basic training, trained for torture
Take no prisoners, and I just caught ya
Addicted to murder, send more bodybags
They can?t identify em, leave the nametags
I get a rush when I see blood, dead bodies on the floor
Casualties of war! (4x)
Day divides the night and night divides the day
It?s all hard work and no play
More than combat, it?s far beyond that
Cause I got a kill or be killed kind of attack
Area?s mapped out, there?ll be no, stratego
Me and my platoon make a boom wherever we go
But what are we here for? who?s on the other side of the wall?
Somebody give the president a call
But I hear warfare scream through the air
Back to the battlegrounds, it?s war they declare
A desert storm: let?s see who reigns supreme
Something like monopoly: a government scheme
Go to the army, be all you can be
Another dead soldier? hell no, not me
So I start letting off ammunition in every direction
Allah is my only protection
But wait a minute, saddam hussein prays the same
And this is asia, from where I came
I?m on the wrong side, so change the target
Shooting at the general; and where?s the sergeant?
Blame it on john hardy hawkins for bringing me to america
Now it?s mass hysteria
I get a rush when I see blood, dead bodies on the floor
Casualties of war! (4x)
The war is over, for now at least
Just because they lost it don?t mean it?s peace
It?s a long way home, it?s a lot to think about
Whole generation, left in doubt
Innocent families killed in the midst
It?ll be more dead people after this
So I?m glad to be alive and walkin
Half of my platoon came home in coffins
Except the general, buried in the storm
In bits and pieces no need to look for em
I played it slick and got away with it
Rigged it up so they would think they did it
Now I?m home on reserves and you can bet
When they call, I?m going awol
Cause it ain?t no way I?m going back to war
When I don?t know who or what I?m fighting for
So I wait for terrorists to attack
Every time a truck backfires I fire back
I look for shelter when a plane is over me
Remember pearl harbor? new york could be over, g
Kamikaze, strapped with bombs
No peace in the east, they want revenge for saddam
Did I hear gunshots, or thunder?
No time to wonder, somebody?s going under
Put on my fatigues and my camoflouge
Take control, cause I?m in charge
When I snapped out of it, it was blood, dead bodies on the floor
Casualties of war! (4x)
rakim - concrete jungle
Bob marley: even the spiritual environment,
Igher divinity, rastaman
Dilution which is like earth create,
Because the earth come back from what it wants,
Someone is trying to be as powerful as god.
*scratches*
Here?s a little story that must be told. (2x)
Come on (2x)
Concrete jungle
Here?s a little story that must be told. (2x)
Come on (2x)
Verse 1:
No solution in my day today,
The high yellum won?t come out to play,
I said darkness has covered my life, (oooh)
And has changed order, (oooh)
Where is this love to be found (where?s this love to be found)
I would say that life must be somewhere to be found (sweet life)
Instead of concrete jungle, (jungle, oh, oh oh,)
Concrete jungle, (jungle)
Man you have to do your thing yeah. (jungle)
Oh yeah.
Scratches:
Come on
No chains around my feet but I?m not free, here now
I know I am bound here in captivity
Ooohhhh.
Never know
Never known happiness
Never known
Never known what real
Well I?m always laughing like a clown (oh)
I said i?ve, I?ve got to be passing from off the ground yeah (oh, instead of)
Concrete jungle (jungle)
Illusions, illusions (concrete jungle)
Concrete jungle (concrete jungle)
Oh, no no no
Concrete jungle
Rakim:
Yeah, yeah, yeah (come on)
In the lions den,
You hear the cry of the dying men,
The lions in,
Every puddle about it then
You try and win go against the blind to win
It?ll put the eye of the tiger in iron men
The heart beats like animals in dark street,
Starve to eat,
In the jungle it?s concrete,
Instead of wood we use the metal to draw heat,
The habitats the hood,
They single the God beats
The tribals in a deadly game of survival,
Genicidial,
Read you koran and your bible,
When the merciful get merciless
We need to read psalms 82 verse 6
Its real so make you sure you do real thing,
Females never forget your still queens,
Feel it till you feel free with wings,
And the male we ain?t got to kill to be kings
Concrete jungle (jungle) (come on now)
Concrete jungle (come on) (3x)
rakim - eric b is president
I came in the door, I said it before
I never let the mic magnatize me no more
But it?s biting me, fighting me, inviting me to rhyme
I can?t hold it back, I?m looking for the line,
Taking off my coat, clearing my throat
My rhyme will be kicking it until I hit my last note
My mind?ll range to find all kinds of ideas
Self-esteem makes it seem like a thought took years to build
But still say a rhyme after the next one
Prepared, never scared, I?ll just bless one
And you know that I?m the soloist
So eric b, make ?em clap to this
I don?t bug out or chill or be acting ill
No tricks in ?86, it?s time to build
Eric b easy on the cut, no mistakes allowed
Cuz to me, mc means move the crowd
I made it easy to dance to this
But can you detect what?s coming next from the flex of the wrist
Saying indeed that I precede cuz my man made a mix
If he bleed he won?t need no band-aid to fix
If they can get some around until there?s no rhymes left
I hurry up because the cut will make ?em bleed to death
But he?s kicking it because it ain?t no half stepping
The party is live, the rhyme can?t be kept in-
Side, it needs erupting just like a volcano
It ain?t the everyday style of the same old rhyme
Because I?m better then the rest of them
Eric b is on the cut and my name is rakim
Go get a girl and get soft and warm,
Don?t get excited, you?ve been invited to a quiet storm
But now it?s out of hand cuz you told me you hate me
And then you ask what have I done lately
First you said all you want is love and affection
Let me be your angel and I?ll be your protection
Take you out, buy you all kinds of things
I must of got you too hot and burned off your wings
You caught an attitude, you need food to eat up
I?m scheming like I?m dreaming on a couch wit my feet up
You scream I?m lazy, you must be crazy
Thought I was a donut, you tried to glaze me
Funky...
rakim - finest ones
Where the ladies at?
Clarkworld baby
Uh, uh
(4x)
It?s the r baby
It?s the God baby
(1st verse)
I got rhymes I love to bust looking for a club to rush
It?s like thugs will rush the illustrious
We all love to touch the voluptuous
It?s a must that we lust, plus we love to crush
Women pose, from timberland?s to feminine clothes
Check there portfolios and put?em in centerfolds
Pen explode, draw crowds respond re-el
I stay calm as hell surrounded by bombshells
Careful as I get near?em, stand near and compare?em
Or all girl heirem, I?m the man with the serum
Assets, probably dressed but still bear?em
It seem like they wear?em, just for me to tear?em
In quakes I see more things shake then spring break
It?s like a dream state, perfect shape same date
You got a lot to give and look how hot it is, you so provocative
And it?s your prerogative. baby bounce.
(chorus)
Ladies, nothing but the finest ones
The lavishist ones, the ain?t hard to findest ones
From the boldest to the shy-ist ones
Which city got the livest ones
New york, l.a., atlanta, v.a., miami, d.c., tell me!
(2nd verse)
Bon jour, baby here go my brochure
Give me a phone call, I?ll show you the whole store
It?s so raw, I?ll have your world in all
You wanna know how much the whole package go for?
My spectactale, like a festival, it?s majestical, special guest for you
Ready to party hard the party?s in yards to the mardygraud
Rap say on?s, please give you a body massage
Rock jams, have you hot in your pants and nasty
Forbidden dance with me? or tickle your there see
Let ra take you on a ron day vue
Couple of days will do if it?s o.k. with you
Deserted isle style middle of winter with no bed
I?ll comfort you like you were jennifer lopez
You get what you deserve if I said we swerve
I?ll hit more than nerve and that?s my every word. baby bounce.
(chorus)
Ladies, nothing but the finest ones
The lavishist ones, the ain?t hard to findest ones
From the boldest to the shy-ist ones
Which city got the livest ones
Houston, philly
Ladies, nothing but the finest ones
The lavishist ones, the ain?t hard to findest ones
From the boldest to the shy-ist ones
Which city got the livest ones
(3rd verse)
Baby you wake up the next day laungary negligee
Give you a sex ex-ray before we catch the rays
Let?s blaze a lot more games left to play
While you still amazed from yesterday?s escapades
Steadily show my pedigree so thoroughly to the b-o-n-e like chemotherapy
Sex and triple x you ready to wed next, relax baby you need plenty of bed rest
You?ve been a passenger of a high speed crash with a wild style fashioner
Dark skinned ambassador, chiropractor with a passion
For smashin? your ass like a cardiovascular massacre.
You?ve be through shock heading at your cu-wop
Body?so hot, you need a shot from your new doc.
With better cures where?s it sore I?ll wetter more.
And let it pour from her to head to her peticular?s, baby bounce.
(chorus)
Ladies, nothing but the finest ones
The lavishist ones, the ain?t hard to findest ones
From the boldest to the shy-ist ones
Which city got the livest ones
Detroit, san fran
Ladies, nothing but the finest ones
The lavishist ones, the ain?t hard to findest ones
From the boldest to the shy-ist ones
Which city got the livest ones
Chi-town, boston
(chorus)
Ladies, nothing but the finest ones
The lavishist ones, the ain?t hard to findest ones
From the boldest to the shy-ist ones
Which city got the livest ones
Cleveland, b-more
Ladies, nothing but the finest ones
The lavishist ones, the ain?t hard to findest ones
From the boldest to the shy-ist ones
Which city got the livest ones
Orlando, n.o.

And clark the world, you heard! what!
rakim - flow forever
[rakim]
Aiyyo.. what?s goin on?
The mic lebanon teflon don..
I?m back baby
The year of the 9?s
And i?ma have to make these motherfuckers a offer they can?t refuse
Y?know?
Ha, what?s goin on? yo c?mon, you know it?s on
I wrote a song, test my flow on the autobahn
Make sure the force is right, I floss all night
Get off the mic it?ll smoke like an exhaust pipe
Keep em in the lie-bury, studyin my theory
Ra theory get translated in swahili
From the lands as far as zanzibar
They understand the r, the man allah
It?s obvious why the copiers, they copy this
Soon as my data processes y2k they floppy disk
Now who the hottest is? how can it not be this?
Baby who the cockiest? papi is? gracias
Aiyyo, this be so, magnifico
Even my, typical, style difficult
Make a crowd go wild when I rip a show
Better stand back, this?ll blow, you didn?t know?
Chorus: rakim
They show me love when I?m come through
Yo any club that I come to
I hit a microphone check one two
And they know what I wanna do - flow forever
[rakim]
You ever witness rapport like this before?
It?s cause y?all kiss the floor, say this my lord
It?s the chosen one, with the golden tongue
Flow for the old and young when I?m holdin one
In the front row sitty, we show no pity
Where kids get jiggy and girls are so pretty
The wanderer, back from casablanca
To stomp all, what next for ra the conqueror
So let?s go, the best show will explode
No dress codes, they just pose in they best clothes
Girls get exposed when I show my rap expo
Will there be a next episode? I guess so
Those that halved out, wanted to have clout
What they mad about? must be a cash route
Mc?s switch they style from they last bout
And I bet soon as they hear this they spaz out
Chorus 2x
[rakim]
Wherever rakim go, it?s the God temple
It?s simple, my m.o., no problemo
Been all over the map, even know where hell is at
I did the welcome mat, and then welcome back
My flow is raw, they treat me like mr. know-it-all
They want me to show em all my brand new protocol
Excuse-a-moi, I make a move for ra
You ain?t soupin ra, save the hoop-a-la
Let me find out you rhymed out designed out
Pullin dimes out then climb out, for time out
I?m at the free throw, playin ball, or cee-lo, I keep dough
Reloaded like carlito, incognito
I be so, low key, women get nosy
I do a show they wanna go see to get to know me
In the front row seat they cosy
Thinkin I?m givin them the bo-bo-bee until they o.d.
Chorus 4x
rakim - follow the leader
Verse one:
Follow me into a solo
Get in the flow - and you can picture like a photo
Music mixed mellow maintains to make
Melodies for mc?s motivates the breaks
I?m everlastin, I can go on for days and days
With rhyme displays that engrave deep as x-rays
I can take a phrase that?s rarely heard, flip it
Now it?s a daily word
I can get iller than ?nam, a killin bomb
But no alarm - rakim will remain calm
Self-esteem make me super superb and supreme
But for a microphone still I fiend
This was a tape I wasn?t supposed to break
I was supposed to wait, but let?s motivate
I want to see who can keep followin and swallowin
Takin the making, bitin it and borrowin
Brothers tried and others died to get the formula
But i?ma let ya sweat - you still ain?t warm
You a step away from frozen, stiff as if ya posin
Dig into my brain as the rhyme gets chosen
So follow me and were ya thinkin? you were first?
Let?s travel at magnificent speeds around the universe
What could ya say as the earth gets further and further away
Planets are small as balls of clay
Astray into the milky way - world?s outasight
Far as the eye can see - not even a satellite
Now stop and turn around and look
As ya stare in the darkness, ya knowledge is took!
So keep starin soon ya suddenly see a star
You better follow it cause it?s the r
This is a lesson if ya guessin and if ya borrowin
Hurry hurry step right up and keep followin
The leader
Verse two:
This is a lifetime mission, vision of prison
Aight listen
In this journey you?re the journal I?m the journalist
Am I eternal? or an eternalist?
I?m about to flow long as I can possibly go
Keep ya movin cause the crowd said so
Dance - cuts rip ya pants
Eric b on the blades, bleedin to death - call the ambulance
Pull out my weapon and start to squeeze
A magnum as a microphone murderin? mc?s
Let?s quote a rhyme from a record I wrote
(follow the leader) yeah - dope
Cause everytime I stop it seems ya stuck
Soon as ya try to step off ya self-destruct
I came to overcome before I?m gone
By showin and provin and lettin knowledge be born
Then after that I?ll live forever - you disagree?
You say never? then follow me!
From century to century you?ll remember me
In history - not a mystery or a memory
God by nature, mind raised in asia
Since you was tricked, I have to raise ya
From the cradle to the grave, but remember
You?re not a slave
Cause we was put here to be much more than that
But we couldn?t see it because our mind was trapped
But I?m here to break away the chains, take away the pains
Remake the brains, reveal my name
I guess nobody told you a little knowledge is dangerous
It can?t be mixed, diluted; it can?t be changed or switched
Here?s a lesson if ya guessing and borrowing
Hurry hurry, step right up and keep following
The leader
Verse three:
A furified freestyle, lyrics of fury
My third eye makes me shine like jewelry
You?re just a rent-a-rapper, your rhymes are minute-maid
I?ll be here when it fade to watch you flip like a renegade
I can?t wait to break and eliminate
On every traitor or snake - so stay awake
And follow and follow, because the tempo?s a trail
The stage is a cage, the mic is a third rail
I?m rakim the fiend of a microphone
I?m not him, so leave my mic alone
Soon as the beat is felt, I?m ready to go
So fasten your seatbelt, cause I?m about to flow
No need to speed slow down to let the leader lead
Word to daddy, indeed!
The r?s a rollin stone, so I?m rollin
Directions is told, then the rhymes are stolen
Stop buggin?, a brother said, dig em, I never dug ?em
He couldn?t follow the leader long enough so I drug ?em
Into danger zone, he should arrange his own
Face it, it?s basic, erase it, change ya tone
There?s one r in the alphabet
It?s a one-letter word and it?s about to get
More complex from one rhyme to the next
Eric b be easy on the flex
I?ve been from state to state, followers tailgate
Keep comin but you came too late, but I?ll wait
So back up, regroup, get a grip, come equipped
You?re the next contestant - clap ya hands, you won a trip!
The price is right - don?t make a deal too soon
How many notes could you name this tune?
Follow the leader is the title, theme, task
Now ya know, you don?t have to ask
Rap is rhythm and poetry, cuts create sound effects
You might catch up if you follow the records e. wrecks
Until then keep eatin and swallowin
You better take a deep breath and keep followin
The leader.
rakim - guess who s back
Once again back is the incredible chuck d
Yeah, yeah
It?s the return of the wild style fashionist
Smashin hits, make it hard to adapt to this
Put pizazz and jazz in this, and cash in this
Mastered this, flash this and make em clap to this
Dj?s throw on cuts and obey the crowd
Just pump the volume up, and play it loud
Hip-hop?s embedded, before I said I wouldn?t let it
But me and the microphone is still magnetic
Straight off the top, I knew I?d be forced to rock
Dancefloors just stop, the spot?s scorchin hot
Hoping I open rakim allah seminars
Massage at the bar smokin ten dollar cigars
While I admire midas, with more vision than tv?s
I find it easy catchin diabetes from fly sweeties
Sit back and wait to hear a slammin track
Rockin jams by popular demand, I?m back
*chorus*
I control the crowd, you know I hold it down
When it drop you know it?s jiggy when you hear the sound
From town to town, until it?s world reknowned
And I rock new york city all year around
Check it out
It?s on so you can swerve when it?s heard in clubs
Thought patterns displayed on persian rugs
Equations are drawn up in paisley form
Mic it stay warm, my flow is evian
Deep as a nautilus, you stay dipped in ra style
From the shores of long island to panama canal
Intellect pitches new trends like a clothes designer
I?m in effect, quicker than medicines in china
Split the mic open fill it with somethin potent to go in
And take a toke then, mental planes start floatin
Hot science is smokin altitudes cause chokin
Product is hypnotic you?re soakin and still smokin
Showin better scenes than grams of amphetamines
Plans to scheme, means I?ll forever fiend
Long as the mic is loud and the volume is pumpin
I?ma move crowds to 2000
*chorus*
Yo, my rhymes and lyrics, find spirits like a seance
Since fat cray-ons, I write and display chaos
My plan is damage, the diagram to where the jam
I take advantage, until the crowd go bananas
What a rush I hear cuts then I lust to touch
Microphones get clutched by the illustrious
Word spread I inherited, many ways to say the unsaid
Born with three 7?s in my head
In time no one can seem to blow your mind as far as this
To find you?ll need philosophers and anthropologists
Astrologists, professors from your smartest colleges
With knowledge of scholarships, when ra be droppin this
Some of the things I know, will be in your next bible
When I die go bury me and my notebook in cairo
With the great God from egypt manifest was write rhymes
Align with the stars, I come back to bless the mic
*chorus* 2x
Once again, back is the incredible --> chuck d
Word up, rakim allah the microphone fiend is back, yaknahmean?
Rakim allah --> rakim
Till death do us part
Once again, back is the incredible --> chuck d
It?s on
Rakim allah --> rakim
*cd sample, *ra sample in sequence to 3:50
Once again back is the incredible
The incredible, the incredible
The incredible...
Once again back is the incredible
Rhyme animal, the incredible... --> chuck d
rakim - heat it up
(take that microphone from that kid and heat it up)
I keep the mic hot, I heat it up kid
I keep the mic hot, I heat it up (x2)
Mic check y?all
Then throw it to the floor
The crowd wanted more so I came in the door
The great rakim, papermates to the pen
Knowledge is born and the light strikes again
Elements burst and gave birth to the first
Get the pen from the nurse and hook the mic up first
When it absolutely positively has to be there on time
I deliver a rhyme
The heckler of hip hop, hop to this one
I got more kid, they hate to miss one
Style got jazz and the crowd?s out of control
Cause I?ve got the mic and I?ve got the soul
New york?s own microphone technician
Thoughts?ll give ?em visions
Style?ll make you listen
Devastates the ear, my opponents can?t see me
I gave ?em directions, but wrote it in graffiti
But they wanna know my m.o. ease back though
They want the exact flow, then study my steelo
Sketch the skit, but they still can?t see what I did
I heat the mic up kid
I keep the mic hot, I heat it up kid
I keep the mic hot, I heat it up (x4)
Then I explode with a song with a original form
Or I?ll perform it at high mode, they want the code
Destroyed the blueprints and documents and hits
Crews been, um, looking for clues ever since
Beats start brewing up, rhymes is rough
Stages and microphones self-destruct
And when you thought you had the format down pat
You get kicked back to the doormat with that
Cause I?ve got a high tech style with know-how
Select the file watch the crowd go wild
Bad beats to bless the females? finesse
Points shot stress causing cardiac arrest
Mics too hot for you to told in your hands
Now they sell ?em with fifteen fans and mic stands
Mine still overheats, if you touch it you can see what I did
I heat the mic up kid
I keep the mic hot, I heat it up kid
I keep the mic hot, I heat it up (x4)
If his opponents?ll run a rap, tell ?em ease back
I?ve got a knapsack with hip hop attacks
Stacks of artifacts, formats in the act
Tracks after macs, and you can?t relax
Rakim?s equipped with penmanship
Left my penmate, I could graduate from penn state
I could take any trade and make a high grade
Even get extra credit when the rhyme?s displayed
As soon as I manifest, they cheat off my test
Surround my desk and then stress the progress
But they miss the point, forget the skit
I?ll bust your lip if you rip the script
Brother?s ain?t cool and i?mma smoke up the room
And I?ve got a crew called the last platoon
Figure it out kid, problems coming
Emcees are running cause I?m the gunman
Extremely dangerous I bust rhymes into the crowd
And watch ?em all scream out loud
Aw man, and then I slam like a batteram
Ra got the plan with your favorite jam
I keep the mic hot, I heat it up kid
I keep the mic hot, I heat it up (x4)
The last platoon
Rakim
You know what I mean?
And I?m out
rakim - how i get down
[rakim]
Before the dough came, my whole aim, was blow like propane
Control the whole domain, and then show no shame
Make rappers go ? and they so lame, playin with no game
Put em on the lil plane til they can?t claim no fame
I got, the range, better, stay in the slow lane
I make the flow change from hurricanes to a slow rain
Your thoughts are so plane, I rearrange your whole frame
Until my whole name grow out your brain like rogaine
Letter by letter, I put words together
Once merged, apart never, they be heard forever
And then I grab a pen and stab him in his abdomen
And smash him in, throw his mic like a javelin
Then I explain verses, that remain on the surface
At times it get deep, but I never defeat the purpose
Never go out, to go the dough route, forever hold out
I never sold out, for any amount, no doubt
Chorus: rakim (repeat 2x)
That?s how I get down, so tell me how you like that
I hit the town, hold it down on a tight track
I start a party now - everybody like rap
Haters are mad cause they gave the r the mic back
[rakim]
I like to hang where e?rythang seem to happen at (y?know? )
It?s ra?s habitat, I?m like that czar arafat
And yes I have a gat, snap like a israeli
A terrorist I never miss blowin up kids daily
I step to writers, and let my virus hurt the closest
I?m sick as hepatitis and worse than tuberculosis
Pull out a pen, like a grenade, and drop it quick
I strike again and i?ma get paid, exotic shit
You know the God ra be, hot as the mojave
Swing like king usabi, my posse be kamikaze
On the corners like I?m homeless and i, don?t know where home is
The bonus, is where the next open microphone is
Me and my team, vision like a radar screen
Intervene and yo, cut the mic off, cause ra fiend
To show the whole world some of the things I seen
Then blow it up, like edi amin, yaknahmean?
Chorus
[rakim]
I do a thang thang, I write the songs they sing
Make sure that they swing, from new york to beijing
Put your thoughts in the sling and your brain is gangrene
Pull in the ring, repeatin and sayin the same thing
Xerox, zero, no match, you ditto
Copy machine, couldn?t reprint my ? ?
My new style, that I produce now?s beyond two-thou?
I knew how, since a juvenile, to make a ka-pow
When the night?s fallin, I can hear the mic callin
I like ballin, I cut back like mic jordan
This is for y?all while I?m spittin literatures
Lyrics?ll ball like allen iverson dribble the ball
They hopeless - whoever approaches my high explosives
My vision sadicious, and freestyle?s ferocious
I wrote this, words flew over my head like a locust
I turned the beat up, sat back, and stayed focused
Chorus
rakim - i ain t no joke
I ain?t no joke, I use to let the mic smoke
Now I slam it when I?m done and make sure it?s broke
When I?m gone I wrote this song cuz I won?t let
Nobody press up and mess up to seen I set
I like to stand in a crowd and watch the people wonder damn
Bu think about it then you?ll understand
I?m just an addict addicted to music
Maybe it?s a habit, I gotta use it
Even if it?s jazz or the quiet storm
I hook a beat up convert it in a hip-hop form
Write a rhyme in graffitti in every show you see me in
Deep concentration cuz I?m no comedian
Jokers are wild if you wanna be tame
I treat you like a child then you?re gonna be named
Another enemy, not even a friend of me
Cuz you?ll get fried in the end if you pretend to be
? can be? cuz I just put your mind on pause
And I can beat you when you compare my rhyme wit yours
I wake you up and as I stare in your face you seem stun
Remember me, the one you got your idea from
But soon you start to suffer but you only get rougher
When you start to stutter that?s when you had enuff of
Biting it, I make you choke, you can?t provoke
You can?t cope, you should of broke cuz I ain?t no joke
I got a question, it?s serious as cancer
Who can keep the average dancer
Hyper as a heart attack nobody smiling
Cuz you?re expressing the rhyme that I?m styling
This is what we all sit down to write
You can?t make it so you take it home, break it and bite
Use pieces and bits of all the hip-hop hits
Get the style down pack then it?s time to ? swit?
Put my tape on pause and add some more to yours
Then you figure you?re ready for the neighborhood chores
The e-m-c-e-e don?t even try to be
When you come up to speak, don?t even lie to me
You like to exaggerate, dream and imaginate
Then change the rhyme around, that can aggravate me
So when you see me come up, freeze
Or you?ll be one of those 7 mc?s
They think that I?m a new jack but only if they knew that
They who think wrong are they who can?t do that
Style that I?m doing, they might ruin
Patterns of paragraphs based on you and
Your offbeat dj, if anything he play
Sound familiar, I?ll wait til e say
Play ?em, so i?ma have to dis and broke
You could get a smack for this, I ain?t no joke
I hold the microphone like a grudge
B?ll hold the record so the needle don?t budge
I hold a conversation cuz when I invent
I nominated my dj the presdient
When I?m see i?ll, people freestyle, going steadily
So pucker up and whistle my melody
But whatever you do, don?t miss one
They?ll be another rough rhyme after this one
Before you know it, you?re following and fiending
Waiting for the punchline to get the meaning
Like before the middle of my story I?m telling
Nobody beats the r so stop yelling
Save it, put it in your pocket for later
Cuz I?m moving the crowd and be a record fader
No interruptions and the mic is broke
When I?m gone, then you can joke
Cuz everything is real on a serious tip
Keep playing and I varies quick
And take you for a walk through hell
Feed your dome then watch your eyeballs swell
Guide you out of triple stage darkness
When it get dark again then i?ma spark this
Microphone cuz the heat is on, you see smoke
And I?m finish when the beat is gone, I?m no joke
rakim - i get visual
(keep you goin? when I?m flowin? smooth enough)
Yes yes y?all, I still fiend by any means a flow
And I go through extremes don?t intervene
My adventures show like a three dimensional screen
Coz I mention many things and I?m presenting many scenes
I guess I?m telegraphic, motions energentic
Better tell ?em forget it, coz I?m telekinetic
Ideas is blowin?, mics is blowin
From what I?m showin, see it , I keep it goin? when I?m flowin
I get visual, scenes of the lyrical individuals critical
Non kids can do, I?m comin? through
I get visual, scenes of the lyrical individuals critical
Non kids can do, I?m comin? through
Poetical pages cause panic, freestyles is frantic
Thoughts is organic, flow is aerodynamic
Mic is volcanic, rhymes spread across the planet
I send out the scribe now the vibes gigantic
Now, I?m internationally known, mental capacitys blown
I hope your microphones accident prone, raw footage is shown
But only showin? scenes of my own
Puttin? your periphereal vision in a zone
But not the twilight, from the insight that I write
And recite, in my mic , will be bright , coz I like
The night glowin?, it?s out of sight what I?m showin
Rappers are knowin?, I keep it goin? when I?m flowin
I get visual, scenes of the lyrical individuals critical
Non kids can do, I?m comin? through
I get visual, scenes of the lyrical individuals critical
Non kids can do, I?m comin? through
When I?m flowin?, theoritically speakin? like a drummer
I take you through the streets, to the park in the summer
Or illustrate, a time and place you?ve never been
And make you focus on the future after seein? the beginning
And my style wilds like miles on the trumpet
Volume dial is kinda low , need to pump it
Up another notch, turn the dial till it stops
More watts you got, more things to watch
Third eye?s wide open, you focus on a theory
Keep scopin? till you hear me, words are spoken clearly
Its no smoke screens on the scenes that I?m showin
Man I keep it goin?, damn I keep it flowin
I get visual, scenes of the lyrical individuals critical
Non kids can do, I?m comin? through
I get visual, scenes of the lyrical individuals critical
Non kids can do, I?m comin? through
I get visual, scenes of the lyrical individuals critical
Non kids can do, I?m comin? through
I get visual, scenes of the lyrical individuals critical
Non kids can do, I?m comin? through
Accurate tactics make ?em clap to this
When I move the crowd, my rhythm still don?t miss
Breeze through melodies coz it?s been a long time
My lyrics is fury and rappers hate to hear me rhyme
Every antidote that I quote, is no joke
Nobodys smilin? in the ghetto from the notes I wrote
My high techniques wreck and disrepect beats
Have you followin? the leader up and down the streets
So kick along, as I rip a song with pull
As the rhyme goes on I get paid in full
Its rakim, indicating rhymes for the showin
Check it out y?all, I keep it goin? when I?m flowin
I get visual, scenes of the lyrical individuals critical
Non kids can do, I?m comin? through
I get visual, scenes of the lyrical individuals critical
Non kids can do, I?m comin? through
I get visual, scenes of the lyrical individuals critical
Non kids can do, I?m comin? through
I get visual, scenes of the lyrical individuals critical
Non kids can do, I?m comin? through
rakim - i know
(1st verse)
Aye yo, who?s the most explosive one yet?
The a roundest one left
Who flows express to them rhythm drum set ain?t done yet?
Flow like a trumpet to your eardrum are deaf
Who pose a threat?
Yo- who?s more ferocious- none yet
To the night damn set mic trends and life ends
In sight, I see the whole world through a tight lens
Rhymes I write wins and kept a white benz
Spend g?s like hundreds and hundreds like tens
I get paid, black, but laid back with mild manners
When I flip it?s the opposite of dark bruce banner
Out the lab with soul and melodies in your ear
And just when it all seem clear I disappear
All you gotta do is holler
Reappear like vol-la the street scholar
I?m 40 deep like ali baba
Give the mamas something to talk about in the beauty parlor
Keep it hot like lava, yeah
It?s rakim allah
(chorus)
I know you find it hard to believe that
I am the genie of the mic an
I can do anything you wish but
Right now I?m commanding you to dance
(2nd verse)
Ready to dance y?all, my magic carpet?s the dance floor
Last chance y?all even if you can?t ball
What part don?t you understand? your wish is my command
And I?m a rock a jam by popular demand
You gone love this, it?s marvelous, baby
It gotta thug?s twist-it start to get crazy
It?s off the meat rack- can?t keep my peeps back
Speak raps and I freak tracks for these cats
I got a fetish for puttin? together words and letters
It ain?t all about the cheddars and y?all know where my head is
Ghetto scriptures for my little brothers and sisters
And still get vicious for the thugs and the misses
What I don?t do is talk about the same old thing
When I come through, I drop it, and they gone swing
I bring the ladies joy until they make crazy noise
Cuz the beat?s bangin?- I?m born to blaze, baby boy
(chorus)
I know I you find it hard to believe that
I am the genie of the mic an
I can do anything you wish but
Right now I?m commanding you to dance
(3rd verse)
The editor-forever more the predator, I said it all
I spread a war, like never before
Spit lead at yours like a ghetto braud raw at a ?
She?ll never pause
With raw metaphors, I set it off
But I just begun the best is yet to come
Blessed with a majestic tongue since I was young
But I was stressed for funds and obsessed with guns
Test the one, let allah protect your son
Cause something musical magician, the ageiathic author
The microphone magician when I have a magic marker, a mentor
You can explore, every sentence is a tour
The inventor is more than adventure
You?ll be blown away, and a zone ?
It?s so ill, I still grab the microphone and say
One of my own displays like I?m known to blaze
And I bet rhyme pays until I?m old and gray
(chorus)(4x)
I know you find it hard to believe that
I am the genie of the mic and
I can do anything wish but
Right now I?m commanding you to dance
rakim - i know you got soul
It?s been a long time, I shouldn?t have left you
Without a strong rhyme to step to
Think of how many weak shows you slept through
Time?s up, I?m sorry I kept you
Thinking of this, you keep repeating you miss
The rhymes from the microphone soloist
And you sit by the radio, hand on the dial, soon
As you hear it, pump up the volume
Dance wit the speaker ?till you hear it blow,
Then plug in the headphone ?cause here it go
It?s a 4 letter word when it?s heard, it control
Your body to dance (you got it) soul,
Ditects the tempo like a red alert
Reaches your reflex, so let it work
When this is playing, you can?t get stuck wit
The steps, so get set and I?m a still come up wit
A gift to be swift, follow the leader, the rhyme will go
Def wit the record that was mixed a long time ago
It can be done but only I can do it
For those that can dance and clap your hands to it
I start to think and then I sink
Into the paper like I was ink
When I?m writing, I?m trapped in between the lines,
I escape when I finish the rhyme...
I got soul
You got it (4x)
I know you got soul
Picture a mic, the stage is empty
A beat like this might tempt me
To pose, show my rings and my fat gold chain
Grab the mic like I?m on soul train
But I?ll wait ?cause I mastered this
Let the others go first so the brothers don?t miss
Eric b. break the sticks (you got it)
Rakim will begin when you make the mix
I?ll experiment like a scientist
You wanna rhyme, you gotta sign my list
?cause I?m a manifest and bless the mic I hold
You want it next? then you gotta have soul
?cause if you ain?t got it, I?m a make an encore
Take the mic, make the people respond for
The r, ?cause that?s the way it?ll have to be
If you wanna get on after me
Think about it, wait, erase your rhyme
Forget it and don?t waste your time
?cause I?ll be in the crowd if you ain?t controlling it
Drop the mic, you shouldn?t be holding it
This is how it should be done
This style is identical to none
Some try to make it sound like this but you?re getting me
So upset that I?m wet ?cause you?re sweating me
I drip steam like a microphone fiend
Eager to mc is my theme
I get hype when I hear a drum roll
Rakim is on the mic and you know I got soul
You got it (5x)
I got soul (you got it) that?s why I came
To teach those who can?t say my name
First of all, I?m the soloist, the soul controller
Rakim gets stronger as I get older
Constant elevation causes expansion
I write my rhyme while I cool in my mansion
Then put it on tape and in the city I test it
Then on the radio the r?s requested
You listen to it, the concept might break you
?cause almost anyone can relate to...
Whoever?s out of hand, I?m give him handles
Light ?em up, blow ?em out like candles
Or should I just let him melt?
Then give him a hand so they can see how it felt
I?m not bold just cuz I rock gold
Rakim is on the mic and you know I got soul
You got it (4x)
Now I?m a stop to see what you got
Get off the mic before I get too hot
I want to see which posse can dance the best
It should be easy ?cause the beat is fresh
Now if your from uptown, brooklyn- bound,
The bronx, queens, or long island sound,
Even other states come right and exact,
It ain?t where you?re from, it?s where you?re at
Since you came here, you have to show and prove
And do that dance until it don?t move
?cause all you need is soul self-esteem will release,
The rest is up to you, rakim ?ll say peace
You got it (10x)
