| 作词 : Barrier, Griffin, Phillips | |
| *singing* ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhh... | |
| *whistle* | |
| "ghetto music" --> krs-one | |
| (here we go...) | |
| "yo" --> mobb deep | |
| "and my name is rakim..." --> the r | |
| (repeat 5x) | |
| Yo, the saga begins, my eyes is the photography lens | |
| Properly push pens, and show quality gems | |
| The horrors be grim, but yo maybe tomorrow we win | |
| If we follow the trends and keep count of the dollars we spend | |
| I want a mahogany benz, i want lottery ends | |
| I want property, friends, plus my hobby is skins | |
| If i decide we in sin, then my prophesy ends | |
| But the god'll begin, watchin my odyssey spin | |
| In the place where war be, based on a true story | |
| Territory was made for me to pursue glory | |
| Blast alone masses in zones have to be sewn | |
| Every capacity blown, i'm internationally known, yo | |
| *chorus a* | |
| So all hail the honorable, microphone phenomenal | |
| Persona is unbombable?, trust me son | |
| I continue like a saga do, bringin you the drama to | |
| Allow you that the chronicle has just begun | |
| *chorus b* | |
| "the saga begins" --> mobb deep | |
| "the soul controller, rakim" --> rakim | |
| "set it off... yo, the saga begins" --> mobb deep | |
| "still say a rhyme after the next one" --> rakim | |
| (repeat 2x except 8th line is "you know that i'm the soloist" --> rakim) | |
| Yo, my never-ending epic, got the world spinning hectic | |
| I quickly spread it, till the whole city's infected | |
| Suspense that i supply intensify | |
| Then commence as my daily events go by | |
| You get involved in this, paragraphologist | |
| Narratin novelist, market this, sound marvelous | |
| I'm the star in this, which means the author's authentic | |
| Most definite, every episode's a epidemic | |
| So when you research, check it, here go the evidence | |
| They represent with lyrical negligence for presidents | |
| My science existed, without the fiction | |
| Every inscription is a special edition | |
| *chorus a*, *chorus b* | |
| Yo, the legacy lives, let em see what the pedigree is | |
| Mega-thesis, blessin these kids with extra features | |
| The depth's deep as, the deepest sea is | |
| Telepathy increases melody gets speakers, telekinesis | |
| Ideas appear as clear as, pictures in movie theaters | |
| Lyrics you hear it, devestating the way you ear it | |
| So stay tuned for sequels, part two's and more | |
| So soon you and your peoples can bumrush the store | |
| The names have changed the game remain the same | |
| How one came to reign on his claim to fame | |
| No stoppin this i'm droppin this with hip-hop in this | |
| And when the topic is topicless, then i'm writing the apocalypse | |
| *chorus a*, *chorus b* | |
| *variations of chorus b to fade* |
