I come again, fun'll begin, when the drummer in. Synonyms don't want to end. Rakim's gonna win. Always seem to come out at the right time with the right rhyme. Smooth in the day and sound rough at night time.
Just an echo, in every ghetto, meadow and valley, side-street and alley, from New York to Cali. I've been seen in state, and between, on stage. They scream every phrase, I leave the city in a rage.
