Luyện nghe bài hát It's Been a Long Time

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

Follow procedures the crowd wait to see this
Nobody been long awaited since Jesus
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 that I of
So I made some more to put the New World in
Mathematics, put your status above the average
And help you rappers, make paragraphs graphics

'Cause new days is dawnin', new ways of
stormin', I write and watch the night turn to mornin'
On and on and, I got the whole world
Rock, I keep it hot and blow the without warnin'

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cursed kids like the Pyramids they found the style
First to ever let a rhyme down the Nile
The of hip-hop'll be dropped 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 kept "Internet.com"
My notebook's my bond like the Holy

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

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

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