| Rakim – 18th | |
| Letter What, uhh, yo | |
| Just when things seemed the same | |
| And the whole scene is lame | |
| I come and reign | |
| With the unexplained | |
| For the brains | |
| Til things change | |
| They strain | |
| To sling slang | |
| I’m trained | |
| To bring game | |
| History that | |
| I arranged | |
| Been regained | |
| By King James | |
| Go to practice | |
| With tactics | |
| When the track hits | |
| Theatrics | |
| Women that look like actress | |
| The status | |
| Of Cleopatra’s | |
| Stacks of | |
| Mathematics | |
| To feed your | |
| AG addicts | |
| As I find out, what the facts is | |
| For geographic | |
| No time To sip mo’s with hostess | |
| Never mind | |
| What the total gross is | |
| I rip shows | |
| Stay focused | |
| And split cheese | |
| With soldiers | |
| While you hit trees | |
| And coast | |
| I spit flows | |
| That be ferocious | |
| And with these explosives | |
| I split seas | |
| For Moses | |
| Shine permanently | |
| Only my mind’s | |
| Concernin' me | |
| Fire burns in me | |
| Eternally | |
| Times Eternity | |
| Followers turn on me | |
| They’ll be in a mental infirmary | |
| Determinedly | |
| Advance technology | |
| Better than | |
| Germany Since the first days you know of | |
| Til the last days is over | |
| I was always the flower | |
| I made waves for | |
| Noah From a compound | |
| To the anatomy | |
| To the breakdown | |
| Of a atom | |
| Some of my rap patterns | |
| Still surround | |
| Saturn From the ancient hieroglyphics | |
| To graffiti painted pictures | |
| I study I know the scriptures | |
| But nowadays ain’t it vicious | |
| Date back | |
| I go beyond | |
| Check the | |
| Holy Quran | |
| To speeches at the autobahn | |
| Now we get our party on | |
| So being beneficent | |
| I bless 'em with dialogue | |
| They expectin' | |
| The next testament | |
| By the God | |
| I blow 'em through battle zones | |
| With chrome | |
| For chaperon | |
| Blast beats with saxophones | |
| One of the baddest | |
| Rappers Known | |
| Every country city | |
| And borough | |
| Side street | |
| And ghetto | |
| Isle And alley | |
| And meadow | |
| Theories fertile | |
| Enough to echo | |
| When it was one mass of land | |
| With one nat'(nationality) of man | |
| And the whole mass was ran | |
| Under one master plan | |
| Since the world’s metamorphosis | |
| And the plan is kept in orbit | |
| Turntables we spin off it | |
| But the needles never skip off it | |
| Rhythms we expressin' | |
| Similar to our ancestors | |
| It’ll answer your questions | |
| If you understand the message | |
| From the days of the slave chopping | |
| To the new age of prophets | |
| As heavy as hip-hop is | |
| I’m always ready to drop it | |
| From the mind | |
| Which is one of | |
| Allah’s best designs | |
| And mines’ll | |
| Stand the test of time | |
| When I rhyme [chorus x2] | |
| The 18th letter | |
| The prophesy professor | |
| I stay clever | |
| Long as the planet stay together | |
| Bring up praise from | |
| Mecca Make a phrase for the better | |
| In new days to remember | |
| Always and forever | |
| The R, baby |
