Luyện nghe bài hát It's Been a Long Time

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

Follow procedures the crowd wait to see this
Nobody been this long awaited 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 times from the rhymes that I of
So I made some more to put the New in Order
Mathematics, put your status above the average
And help you rappers, make with graphics

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

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

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

When I'm out proppin', either, or shoppin'
People see me stop and ask me when the album
The is over, information like a soldier
Like I ya, greater 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 microphones a habit
At once durin' the course of a day, it's automatic

In ghetto apparel, mind of a Pharaoh
Far shallow, thoughts travel like an arrow
monotony, so far they can't stop me
You know, Ra want property like Mumar

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

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

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

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

Cursed kids the Pyramids when they found the style
First to ever let a flow down the Nile
The rebirth of be dropped now
'Cause the didn't hear the original in a while

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

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

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

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