Luyện nghe bài hát It's Been a Long Time

It's been a long
It's been a time
It's been a time
It's been a time
Rakim the microphone

Follow procedures the crowd couldn't wait to see
been this long awaited since Jesus
Who believe this I heard the word on the street is
I'm still one of the on the mic since Adidas

They said I changed the from the rhymes that I thought of
So I made some more to put the New World in
With Mathematics, put your above the average
And help you rappers, make with graphics

'Cause new days is dawnin', new of peformin'
Brain stormin', I write and watch the night turn to
On and on and, I got the whole respondin'
Rock, I keep it hot and blow the spot warnin'

The Emperor, well for, inventin' a sentence
of adventure, turnin' up the temperature
Rush with adrenaline, how long has it been
To be in the state of that Rakim is in?

It's been a long
Rakim, the microphone
It's been a long
It's been a time

When I'm out proppin', either, or shoppin'
see me stop and ask me when the album droppin'
The is over, information like a soldier
Like I told ya, stronger, now that I'm older

I broke the, code of with overloads of talents
My challenge, is not to explode in violence
I'm Asiatic, and blazin' a habit
At least durin' the course of a day, it's automatic

In apparel, mind of a Egyptian Pharaoh
Far shallow, thoughts travel like an arrow
Allah's monotony, so far they stop me
You know, Ra want like Mumar Khadafi

More thoughts than Bibles, recital, disciples
A sawed off mic, so words scatter like a
Thoughts that's trifle, I'm bustin' for you
Aiyyo, technical difficulties is

It's been a long
Rakim, the soloist
It's been a long
Rakim, the soloist

It's been a time
Rakim, the soloist
It's a long time
been a long time

When I float at night, I show 'em new heights, I go to
know I strike with new prototypes to blow the mic
Critics and biters, don't know where my source of is
Still leave authors and writers arthritis

kids like the Pyramids when they found the style
First to ever let a rhyme flow the Nile
The rebirth of hip-hop'll be now
'Cause the didn't hear the original in a while

So be alarmed, what you 'bout to see is the
Like, 3-D in' 'Nam, vivid like
kept like "Internet.com"
My my bond like the Holy Quran

Since I came in the door, said it
But no I ain't with Eric B no more
At night the open mic be invitin' me to
So yo I'm online, been a long time

been a long time
It's been a long
Rakim, the soloist
been a long time
Rakim, the soloist

It's been a long
It's been a long
It's a long time
It's been a long
It's been a long
