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 soloist

Follow procedures the crowd couldn't 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

said I changed the times from the rhymes that 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 is dawnin', new ways of peformin'
Brain stormin', I write and watch the turn to mornin'
On and on and, I got the whole respondin'
Rock, I keep it hot and blow the spot warnin'

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

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

When I'm out proppin', either, hangin' or
see me stop and ask me when the album droppin'
The is over, information like a soldier
Like I told ya, greater stronger, now 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 least once durin' the of a day, it's automatic

In ghetto apparel, mind of a Pharaoh
Far from shallow, 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 like a rifle
Thoughts trifle, I'm bustin' these for you
Aiyyo, technical is through

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

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

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

Cursed kids like the Pyramids they found the style
First to ever let a flow down the Nile
The rebirth of be dropped now
'Cause the crowd didn't hear the 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 bond the Holy Quran

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

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

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