U.b.r(unauthorized Biography Of Rakim) Lyrics - Street's Disciple - Nas

The unauthorized copy 

Dedication to my children, my child, Destiny Jones 

To my niece and nephews, Suree, Malik, Jabari 

The world is yours 

Acknowledgements: first off I wanna thank God 

And I wanna thank everybody for helping me out with this 

Couldn't do it without you. Chapter 1 

 

January 28, 1968 

Born into this world, William Griffin The Great 

Chapter 1, Wyandanch, Long Island 

Scientific rhyming invented a new style when 

He met with Eric Barrier from East Elmhurst 

The melody they created was the first 

Burst on the scene 1986, with clap to this 

'87 dropped a classic disc 

The facts is the tracklist was like full 

The vocals, the beats, according to Marley Marl 

Recorded in my hometown Queensbridge 

That's why it's so relative 

This biography was unauthorized 

I spit it how it was given to author Nas 

William changed his name at sixteen to Rakim Allah 

Cause Clarence 13X had New York on lock 

Gods on every block, jams in every park 

I remember hearing Kurtis Blow saying 

"It can't get better than this" 

'Til Run DMC blew my brains to bits 

From leather coats to shell toes to the Stan Smiths, to Dapper Dan kicks 

First million-dollar deal ever in rap, 18th Letter did that 

From 4th & Broadway to Uni to MCA 

We followed the leader to Harlem's Apollo Theatre 

Supreme, Rap and the 50 that don't rap 

Forte Green, Queens, Long Island wolfpack 

Paid In Full posse, hot they was on 

And Ra had his firstborn 

With the next line I'mma be easy 

His wisdom's name is Fifi 

EPMD put a record out, was dope 

Tension spread, and I quote "Smack me and I smack you back" 

Sounded like the answer to the I Ain't No Joke track 

For a second it ain't look good 

Little tension buzzing from Wyandanch to Brentwood 

Misunderstood, all forgot at sixteen when I met Freddie Foxxx 

Toting burners, the whole coast's most concern was 

How has Rakim's flow made Christians convert with Islamic ways 

Let The Rhythm Hit 'Em was the third LP 

A sophisticated mean one, before similar voices were King Sun 

A few others, but sooner or later, the game was Ra's kingdom 

At sixteen, son was watching him, mesmerized 

Respect, not jocking him, was so amazing, besides 

He came on the stage with lasers in his eyes 

Walk with me now
