|
Yes yes y'all, check it out y'all [x2] [Chorus: Rakim] (Yo) |
|
I find a show, rhyme til it's time to go |
|
I'm designed to blow, my mind's inclined to flow |
|
Yo, my M.O., makin all kind of dough |
|
From the info that |
|
Rakim show, y'know? [Verse One: Rakim] |
|
Yes yes y'all, |
|
I still fiend by any means to flow, and |
|
I go through extremes don't intervene |
|
My adventures show like a three dimensional screen |
|
Cause I mention many things and |
|
I'm presentin many scenes |
|
Guess I'm telegraphic, motions energentic |
|
Better tell em forget it, cause |
|
I'm telekinetic |
|
Crowds is screamin, |
|
I choke the mic and keep squeezin |
|
Styles seemin like |
|
I used a thousand words without breathin |
|
Bustin techs like |
|
Russian Roulette |
|
I doubt you win |
|
Freestyles like hand grenades without the pin |
|
Composin, then leave the mic full of corrosion |
|
Don't test this, or best to expects this explosion |
|
At shows I spit flows with seven deadly venoms |
|
Killin syllables with poisonous synonyms in em |
|
Ideas is blowin, mics is blowin from what |
|
I'm showin, see it, |
|
I keep it goin when |
|
I'm flowin [Chorus] [Verse Two: Rakim] |
|
When I'm flowin, theoretically speakin like a drummer |
|
I take you through the streets to the parks in the summer or illustrate, a time and place you never been in and make you focus on the future after seein the beginning |
|
And my style wilds, like |
|
Miles on the trumpet |
|
Volume dial was kind of low, need to pump it |
|
Up another notch turn the dial til it stops |
|
More watts you got, more things to watch |
|
Third eye's wide open, you're focused on the theory |
|
Keep scopin til you hear me, words is spoken clearly |
|
It's no smokescreens on the scenes that |
|
I'm showin |
|
Man I keep it goin, damn |
|
I keep it flowin [Chorus x2] [Verse Three: Rakim] |
|
Two 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 capacities blown |
|
I hope your microphone's accident prone |
|
Raw footage is shown, but only showin scenes of my own |
|
Leavin your periphereal vision in a zone |
|
But not the twilight, from the insight that |
|
I write and recite, in my mic'll be bright, cause |
|
I like the night glowin, it's out of sight when |
|
I'm showin |
|
Man I keep it goin, damn |
|
I keep it flowin [Chorus x2] [Verse Four: Rakim] |
|
Yo, accurate tactics "Make Em Clap to This" |
|
When I "Move the Crowd", my "Rhythm" still don't miss |
|
Breeze through melodies cause "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" |
|
Nobody's smilin "In The Ghetto" from the notes |
|
I wrote My high techniques wreck and disrepect beats |
|
Have you "Follow-in 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" |
|
It's Rakim, |
|
I'm indicatin rhymes for the showin |
|
Check it out y'all, |
|
I keep it goin when |
|
I'm flowin [Chorus x2] |
|
Straight up, |
|
Rakim Allah the |
|
Fiend of the |
|
Microphone still flowin |
|
You know? |
|
One love to [?] comin through your livin room soon, straight up [?], one love |
|
The whole tri-state, one love |
|
Rakim Allah baby, y'know? |
|
It's on, what, check it out y'all, check it out |
