I came in the door, I said it before |
|
I never let the mic magnetize 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 |
|
The 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 |
|
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 |
|
'Cause 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 then I precede 'cause 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 |
|
He's kicking it because it ain't no half stepping |
|
The party is live, the rhyme can't be kept inside |
|
It needs erupting just like a volcano |
|
It ain't the everyday style of the same old rhyme |
|
Because I'm better than 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 'cause 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 |
|
Make 'em clap to this |
|
You caught an attitude, you need food to eat up |
|
I'm scheming like I'm dreaming on a couch on my feet up |
|
You scream I'm lazy, you must be crazy |
|
Thought I was a donut, you tried to glaze me |
|

If he bleed he won't need no Band-Aid to fix |
|
Eric B is on the cut and my name is Rakim, nasty |
|
Make 'em clap to this |
|
Drop your hands, drop your hands |
|
Drop your hands to what he's doin' |
|
Drop your hands to what he's doin' |
|
Drop your hands, drop your hands |
|
Drop your hands, drop your hands |
|
Drop your hands to what he's doin' |
