It's been a long time. It's been a long time. It's been a long time. It's been a long time. Rakim the microphone soloist. . Follow procedures the crowd couldn't wait to see this.
Sitting down I dont wanna hear a lecture. I just wanna live and maybe see her. Why cant we just live out loud. Be ourselves and just be proud. Sun is shining and the world is mine.
If I lay low and let the day go, it'll slow my payroll. Aye yo, I'm a terrorize charge and slay shows. Ra slay flows go as far as the Barbados. On the turntable, sound like tornadoes.
Go fuck yourself. Thank god its the end. Ill see you in hell with all your friends. I thought I had everything but. Youre the one who needs saving. . Just a little touch.
What are you giving them back?. . Umm, I think what I'm givin'. Them back, man is, umm. What they been waitin' for. Yaknahmean? Umm. . Skills.
Something died inside. My crippled soul now cries. The emptiness is wide. Just shadows of my lies. The lament of my heart. Of my heart. . The lonely winds are blowing.
Ghetto, nobody smiling, ghetto, nobody smiling. Where you're [Incomprehensible] in hell. Nobody smiling, ghetto, nobody smiling, ghetto. Nobody smiling, ghetto.
(Canibus) Yeah, I bust 'em... you punish 'em. . (Canibus) Yeah...let me bust 'em. (Rakim) Naw, I'ma punish 'em. (Canibus) Ra, let me bust 'em. (Rakim) Naw, I'ma punish 'em.
You and I must make a pact. We must bring salvation back. Where there is love I'll be there. . I'll reach out my hand to you. I'll have faith in all you do.
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.
I like when your shadows creep. No light and still no sleep. At last the trumpets sing. You me and everything. . The romance is not in my heart. You won't tell me apart.
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.
When you're inside. Your time machine. Would you travel back in time. To those days. When we'd drive out to sea. Or nowhere really. Feel the wind on our backs.
(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.
One step is all you need to quickly go and deviate her. The way you're travelling is okay. There's something crooked in the flavour that alleviates her.
Oh well, I don't know. Well I'm happy as a boy can be. Look out my bedroom window. And realise that I can't see. It's dark at nine o' clock. Well it's just as dark inside my head.
I ain't no joke, I used to let the mic smoke. Now I slam it when I'm done and make sure it's broke. When I'm gone no one gets on cause I won't let. Nobody press up and mess up the scene I set.
Look what yall made me do. Chorus:. this is your koran or bible. to be a true emcee icon or idol. the contents you put in your songs are vital. like training for the ufc you want a title.
Before the dough came, my whole aim, was blow like propane. Control the whole domain, and then show no shame. Make rappers go [unverified] and they so lame, playin' with no game.
Holy are you. Holy are you. There is no God but you (ah huh). There is no God but you. (I need to talk to yall for a minute). Praised be the Lord. (And be serious for a minute).
