This is poetry in Try to catch on, stay close to the And MC's try to the road rough but I'm coastin' Ladies the rhymes rub 'em on like lotion
Hit spots soothin', stop movin' Go ahead, bust a sweat and you can bet I'm still When I detain a brainstorm the same form, every brain I rained on is warm
Takin' a trip through Lane to Melody See if you tell if these thoughts to fell MC's Could do you justice but you can't this kid just tried to bust this but he just missed
I'm universal and much more So versatile with the it's reversible I get even if I say a curse or two First, let me bust another for you
arms too short to box with Ra, so quit You don't no kind of conflict Or get stripped as the rhyme is ripped Pick up the pieces now ain't that peace, I'm hip
Everything I flows since my intro I plant a extend and then grow Holdin' my pen it might be controversy at first When I write the of research
Don't just take it for When I'm gone my mind remains a If I keep and teach the children So when they read in between the lines it's in
I break to meditate, not a peep, Till I'm awake but not asleep At the same time risin' and what is true Keep and you can stay wise and I'm untouchable
over the bridge, take a peak at the skyline 'Cause that's how I not only when I rhyme My culture's makin' me stronger, Physically I'm powerful poetry now that be
as art placed in a museum Style'll scenery, now you see 'em Exhibit a knowledge that's packed and with illiterate, it's facts I build with
My mind's which means intangible Contents dense, it's understandable I study life, so I can live it the way No time to hear what another brother say
Why sell a capsule of crack I have to? I rhyme and sign million contracts to Put message on records that's graced with hard Smugglin' microphones, this ain't
Whoever talked that talk, I hawk And don't try to From New York' a 110th Street lookin' for a problem It's Up In Harlem', watch Ra solve 'em
I the music clear as I get near The hundred and twenty fifth street Theater Take a step when I rap I step up to you I'm
Put on my thinking cap pump the your reflex relax but in contact You fold and lose control, so hold your partner supposed to keep your composure
But you hear the said go then it gets so hype It's like nitro opponents get Remember the left by the R That's soft or smooth, it's comin' off the hardest
In effect, you die-tect the impostor my props, Rakim is still proper I'm a prophet, you can't stop it when I it I say, coincide with the topic
Thoughts bounce around till my is fractured Inside my brain all manufactured As we go it's hard to find Don't even think it 'cause you can't read my mind
clear so therefore you need a ear or inclined In the mind with some kind of idea for the I'm what is true, keep advised That you wise and the mind is untouchable
