Luyện nghe bài hát It's Been a Long Time

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

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

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

new days is dawnin', new ways 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 without

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

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

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

I broke the, code of silence overloads of talents
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
monotony, so far they can't stop me
You know, Ra want property like Khadafi

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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