[00:21.74] Turn up the bass, check out my melody, hand out a cigar
[00:24.03] I'm lettin knowledge be born, and my name's the r
[00:27.09] A-k-i-m not like the rest of them, I'm not on a list
[00:30.07] That's what I'm sayin, I drop science like a scientist
[00:32.66] My melody's in a code, the very next episode
[00:35.23] Has the mic often distortin, ready to explode
[00:37.54] I keep the mic in fahrenheit, freeze mc's and make em colder
[00:40.54] The listener's system is kickin like solar
[00:43.60] As I memorize, advertise, like a poet
[00:45.66] Keep you goin when I'm flowin, smooth enough, you know it
[00:49.14] But rough that's why the middle of my story I tell e.b.
[00:52.14] Nobody beats the ＂r＂, check out my melody...
[00:55.54]
[01:04.84] So what if I'm a microphone fiend addicted soon as I sing
[01:07.84] One of these for mc's so they don't have to scream
[01:10.15] I couldn't wait to take the mic, flow into it to test
[01:13.14] Then let my melody play, and then the record suggest
[01:15.57] That I'm droppin bombs, but I stay peace and calm
[01:18.71] Any mc that disagree with me just wave your arm
[01:21.27] And I'll break, when I'm through breakin I'll leave you broke
[01:23.95] Drop the mic when I'm finished and watch it smoke
[01:26.69] So stand back, you wanna rap? all of that can wait
[01:29.38] I won't push, I won't beat around the bush
[01:31.71] I wanna break upon those who are not supposed to
[01:35.30] You might try but you can't get close to
[01:37.74] Because I'm number one, competition is none
[01:39.80]
[01:40.37]
[01:43.24] Whether playin ball or bobbin in the hall
[01:45.61] I just writin my name in graffiti on the wall
[01:48.42] You shouldn't have told me you said you control me
[01:51.23] So now a contest is what you owe me
[01:54.60] Pull out your money, pull out your cut
[01:56.55] Pull up a chair
[01:59.42] My name is rakim allah, and r & a stands for ＂ra＂
[02:02.35] Switch it around, but still comes out ＂r＂
[02:04.91] So easily will I e-m-c-e-e
[02:07.47] My repetition of words is ＂check out my melody＂
[02:10.46] Some bass and treble is moist, scratchin and cuttin a voice
[02:12.77] And when it's mine that's when the rhyme is always choice
[02:15.08] I wouldn't have came to ? set? my name ? around the? same weak shit
[02:18.49] Puttin blurs and slurs and words that don't fit
[02:21.00] In rhyme, a why waste time on the microphone
[02:23.54] I take this more serious than just a poem
[02:26.53] Rockin party to party, backyard to yard
[02:28.53] Now tear it up, y'all, and bless the mic for the gods
[02:32.57]
[02:43.44] The rhyme is rugged, at the same time sharp
[02:45.44] I can swing off anything even a string of a harp
[02:48.18] Just turn it on and start rockin, mind no introduction
[02:50.30]
[02:51.03] Til I finish droppin science, no interruption
[02:53.79] When I approach I exercise like a coach
[02:56.15] Usin a melody and add numerous notes
[02:59.10] With the mic and the r-a-k-i-m
[03:01.66] It's a task, like a match I will strike again
[03:04.35] Rhymes are poetically kept and alphabetically stepped
[03:07.09] Put in order to pursue with the momentum except
[03:09.65] I say one rhyme and I order a longer rhyme shorter
[03:12.33] A pause, but don't stop the tape recorder
[03:16.41]
[03:37.01] I'm not a regular competitor, first rhyme editor
[03:39.80] Melody arranger, poet, etcetera
[03:42.51] Extra events, the grand finale like bonus
[03:45.07]
[03:45.58] I am the man they call the microphonist
[03:47.83] With wisdom which means wise words bein spoken
[03:50.51] Too many at one time watch the mic start smokin
[03:53.18] I came to express the rap I manifest
[03:55.94] Stand in my way and I'll lead a ? ? ? words protest
[03:58.43]
[03:59.12] Mc's that wanna be dissed they're gonna
[04:01.42] Be dissed if they don't get from in fronta
[04:04.16] All they can go get is me a glass of moet
[04:06.60] A hard time, sip your juice and watch a smooth poet
[04:09.78] I take 7 mc's put em in a line
[04:11.78] And add 7 more brothas who think they can rhyme
[04:14.83] Well, it'll take 7 more before I go for mine
[04:17.65] And that's 21 mc's ate up at the same time
[04:20.14] Easy does it, do it easy, that's what I'm doin
[04:22.58] No fessin, no messin around, no chewin
[04:25.63] No robbin, no buyin, bitin, why bother
[04:28.19] This slob'll stop tryin fightin to follow
[04:30.44]
[04:31.04] My unusual style will confuse you a while
[04:33.85] If I was water, I flow in the nile
[04:36.41] So many rhymes you won't have time to go for your's
[04:39.15] Just because of a cause I have to pause
[04:42.03] Right after tonight is when I prepare
[04:44.41] To catch another sucka duck mc out there
[04:47.27] Cos my strategy has to be tragedy, catastrophe
[04:50.14] And after this you'll call me your majesty
[04:52.88] My melody...
[04:57.78]
[05:14.38] Marley marl synthesized it, I memorize it
[05:17.68] Eric b made a cut and advertised it
[05:19.93] My melody's created for mc's in the place
[05:22.43] Who try to listen cos I'm dissin
[05:24.05]
[05:24.78] take off your necklace, you try to detect my pace?
[05:28.02] now you're buggin over off my rhyme like bass
[05:30.52] The melody that I'm stylin, smooth as a violin
[05:33.45] Rough enough to break new york from long island
[05:36.32] My wisdom is swift, no matter if
[05:38.57] My momentum is slow, mc's still stand stiff
[05:41.31] I'm genuine like leather, don't try to be clever
[05:44.59] Mc's you'll beat the ＂r＂, I'll say ＂oh never＂
[05:47.08] So eric b cut it easily
[05:48.64]
[05:49.56] And check out my melody...
[00:21.74] Turn up the bass, check out my melody, hand out a cigar
[00:24.03] I' m lettin knowledge be born, and my name' s the r
[00:27.09] Akim not like the rest of them, I' m not on a list
[00:30.07] That' s what I' m sayin, I drop science like a scientist
