| It’s been a long time, I shouldn’t have left you
|
| Without a strong rhyme to step to Think of how many weak shows you slept through
|
| Time’s up, I’m sorry I kept you
|
| Thinking of this, you keep repeating you miss
|
| The rhymes from the microphone soloist
|
| And you sit by the radio, hand on the dial, soon
|
| As you hear it, pump up the volume
|
| Dance wit the speaker 'till you hear it blow,
|
| Then plug in the headphone 'cause here it go It’s a 4 letter word when it’s heard, it control
|
| your body to dance (You got it) soul,
|
| Ditects the tempo like a red alert
|
| Reaches your reflex, so let it work
|
| When this is playing, you can’t get stuck wit
|
| The steps, so get set and I’m a still come up wit
|
| A gift to be swift, follow the leader, the rhyme will go Def wit the record that was mixed a long time ago
|
| It can be done but only I can do it For those that can dance and clap your hands to it
|
| I start to think and then I sink
|
| Into the paper like I was ink
|
| When I’m writing, I’m trapped in between the lines,
|
| I escape when I finish the rhyme…
|
| I got soul
|
| Picture a mic, the stage is empty
|
| A beat like this might tempt me To pose, show my rings and my fat gold chain
|
| Grab the mic like I’m on Soul Train
|
| But I’ll wait 'cause I mastered this
|
| Let the others go first so the brothers don’t miss
|
| Eric B. break the sticks (you got it)
|
| Rakim will begin when you make the mix
|
| I’ll experiment like a scientist
|
| You wanna rhyme, you gotta sign my list
|
| 'Cause I’m a manifest and bless the mic I hold
|
| You want it next? |
| then you gotta have soul
|
| 'Cause if you ain’t got it, I’m a make an encore
|
| Take the mic, make the people respond for
|
| The R, 'cause that’s the way it’ll have to be If you wanna get on after me Think about it, wait, erase your rhyme
|
| Forget it and don’t waste your time
|
| 'Cause I’ll be in the crowd if you ain’t controlling it Drop the mic, you shouldn’t be holding it I drip steam like a microphone fiend
|
| Eager to MC is my theme
|
| I get hype when I hear a drum roll
|
| Rakim is on the mic and you know I got soul
|
| You got it |
