Luyện nghe bài hát It's Been a Long Time

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

Follow procedures the couldn't wait to see this
Nobody been this long awaited since
Who believe this I heard the word on the street is
I'm still one of the deepest on the mic since

They said I changed the times from the rhymes I thought of
So I made some more to put the New in Order
Mathematics, put your status above the average
And help you rappers, paragraphs with graphics

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

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

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

When I'm out proppin', either, hangin' or
People see me stop and ask me when the album
The wait is over, information a soldier
I told ya, greater stronger, now that I'm older

I the, code of silence with overloads of talents
My only challenge, is not to in violence
I'm Asiatic, and microphones a habit
At least once durin' the course of a day, automatic

In ghetto apparel, mind of a Egyptian
Far from shallow, thoughts travel an arrow
Allah's monotony, so far they can't me
You know, Ra property like Mumar Khadafi

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

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

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

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

Cursed kids like the Pyramids when they the style
to ever let a rhyme flow down the Nile
The rebirth of hip-hop'll be now
'Cause the crowd hear the original in a while

So be alarmed, what you to see is the bomb
Like, 3-D in' 'Nam, vivid like
Info like "Internet.com"
My notebook's my bond like the Quran

Since I in the door, said it before
But no I down with Eric B no more
At the open mic be invitin' me to rhyme
So yo I'm online, it's been a long

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

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