| [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 **** |
| [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 |
