It's A Must Lyrics - The Master - Rakim

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 

My style is performed like tropical storms 

You're not to get on, the whole spot will get torn 

I keep the metropolitan hollerin' and bring the dollars in 

Keep the models followin', wise as king Solomon 

Come slow through the jungle like an animal 

Invade any land, I go like General Hannibal 

From Long Island to Queens light up the New York scenes 

All the way to New Orleans and everything in between 

Left to go, bless a show in Mexico 

Next thing I know it's extra cold, I see Eskimo's 

It's time to rock, get it hot soon as I get in there 

Spit in they ear, so flow they froze and I disappear 

It's a must that I bust any mic that you hand to me 

It's inherited, it runs in the family 

It's a must that I bust any mic that you hand to me 

It's inherited, it runs in the family 

They said I was ahead of my time or either here before 

To see the idea clear it takes a year or more 

Now times that by the years, I reign straight seven 

No hear for four years, still multiplied by eleven 

The silence's a set back make 'em regret that 

One way to get back is violence and wet cats 

But hold your head black or I'll never rap again 

Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in 

Now that was two years ago and if cats start interfering' 

Then I'ma go back to the gat and racketeerin' 

My sabotage is camouflage and espionage 

You ain't havin' Ra so don't test the God 

I'm takin' all orders, I can't afford extorter's 

I hit 'em in the head with a hundred dollars in quarters 

So warn a friend, tell 'em it's on again 

If it's a freestyle bust in a park I want in 

It's a must that I bust any mic that you hand to me 

It's inherited, it runs in the family 

It's a must that I bust any mic that you hand to me 

It's inherited, it runs in the family 

I managed to get paid for a decade, now add three years on to that 

Perform with a knack, yes I was born to rap 

The mic, Lebanon Teflon don is back 

I strike with better bombs and armed to attack 

So reload the van, go ahead, let 'em in 

Every tour's a war and I'm on the road again 

Surprise a town, the place it's live and loud 

We vibin' now, I go wild and dive in the crowd 

Never hit the ground, they catch me and carry me around 

Then put me right back on stage to shut it down 

From New York to Cali, Japan and I-tali 

I'm known as the microphone Muhammad Ali 

I'm worldwide, my brothers be biggin' me up 

Keep the girls occupied lovin', diggin' me what 

Ain't around, when I come to town they mad glad 

Like Saddam, they even say I'm the bomb in Baghdad 

It's a must that I bust any mic that you hand to me 

It's inherited, it runs in the family 

It's a must that I bust any mic that you hand to me 

It's inherited, it runs in the family 

It's a must that I bust any mic that you hand to me 

It's inherited, it runs in the family 

It's a must that I bust any mic that you hand to me 

It's inherited, it runs in the family
