I'm the arsenal
 I got artillery  lyrics of ammo
 Rounds of rhythm
 Then I'm 'a give 'em piano
 Bring a bullet proof vest
 Nothin' to ricochet
 ready to aim at the brain
 ~Now what the trigger say
 Tempos triflin'
 Felt like a rifle
 Massage 'n' melodies
 Might go right through
 Simultaneously like an Uzi
 Nothin' can bruise me
 Lyrics let up when lady say don't lose me
 So re-load quickly
 And you better hit me
 While I'm lettin' this fifi get wit me
 You steppin' with .007
 Better make it snappy
 No time to do your hair, baby
 Brothers are bustin' at me
 Beats and bullets pass me
 None on target
 They want the R hit
 But wtch the god get
 Quicker, the tongue is the trigger
 'Cause I'm real fast
 Let off some rhythm at 'em
 Let 'em feel the blast
 Penetrate at a crazy rate
 This ain't no .38
 Hit 'em at point blank range
 And watch 'em radiate
 Runnin' out of ammunition
 I'm done wit' em
 You ask me how I did 'em
 I let the rhythm hit 'em

 I push a power that's punishable
 Better be a prisoner
 The hit man is the
 Brother wit' charisma
 Showing you that I have
 Powerful paragraphs
 Followers will become leaders
 But without a path
 Ya mentally paralyzed
 Crippled ya third eye
 Rhymes are blurred
 Then it occurred that you heard I
 Reduced the friction with crucifixion
 Let loose the mix then
 Boost the piston
 Eric hit 'em with' some of that
 Cut like a lumberjack
 And me gettin' hit back
 It won't be none of that
 I'm untouchable
 You see me in 3-D
 When I let the rhythm hit another M.C.
 Lyrics made of lead
 Enters your head
 Then eruptions of a mass production
 Will spread when
 Music is louder
 Full of gunpower
 Microphone machinery
 When I see a crowd of
 Party people pumpin'
 Their fist like this
 Ya hide in the back
 Thinkin' that I might miss
 But the R is accurate
 Plus I'm packed up with
 Educated punch lines that
 I have to hit
 Whatever I aim at
 I line 'em up
 Ya body is weak, feel with pain
 That time is up
 You been hit with somethin'
 Different, isn't it?
 Rakim is gonna radiate and nothing's equivalent
 Nothin' can harm me
 Why try to bar me
 You couldn't come around to rob with a army
 You'll get wrecked by the architect
 So respect 'em
 I disconnect 'em, soon as I inject 'em
 With radiation
 Put 'em by the basement
 Bust his chest open
 Bash his face in
 Let it split 'im
 Since he brought his main man wit' 'im
 He ask me how I did 'im
 I let the rhythm hit 'im
 Let it hit 'im

 Dance floor's dangerous
 Packed in like a briefcase
 Rhyth with ral rough rhyme
 Beats with deep bass
 Girls with tight pants
 Maybe they might dance
 Tonight if the Rs on the mike
 There's a slight chance
 The crowd is crucial
 M.C.'s grounds are neutral
 Now that you're here let me introduce you
 Get ready
 I'm hard read like graffiti but steady
 Science I drop is real heavy
 Radiant energy, that'll be the penalty
 Touch the third rail on the pain of remedy
 The prescription's one every hour
 Now it's a havoc
 If ya need another hit from the freestyle fanatic
 Attention: follow directions real close
 Keep out of reach of children
 Beware of overdose
 Too many milligram
 But what made a iller jam
 My rhyme is the rhythm of thoughts
 That kill a man
 I deas for the ear to fear
 Might split 'im
 He'll never forget 'im
 He'll rest in peace wit' 'em
 At least when he left he'll know what hit 'im
 The last breath of the words of death
 Was the rhythm

 Now throw you hands in the air and yo, go
 Rakim will do the rest of this slow
 If I speed they know you'll blow the hell up
 If I slow up, catch up, hell no
 Wicked as I kecked it
 Don't need to remix it
 'Cause I prefixed it
 Reversed and switched it
 To perform to perfection
 Section for section
 Rhymes keep connectin'
 Ya guessin' what's next an'
 Blood pressure rise as ya damn near lost it
 Ya hit the ground burnin' and woke up frostbitten
 'Cause when I explained ya can't complain for pain
 Travel through the brain hit a vein
 Then remain, let it radiate
 Vibes will vibrate
 Why did you violate
 Now I'm 'a have to let the style brak
 Moans now the tone is ingrown
 After this here's thrown, gimme another microphone
 Before I get that fifi I met
 Whisper I wanna reach your intellect
 Kiss her 'cause I wanna give her the most respect
 So I shine and let the write reflect
 Hold 'er, mold 'er, make 'er feel older
 Lay her on my shoulder
 EEverything I told her
 Makes her feel secure whenever I'm wit' 'er
 And you know how I did 'er
 Me and the rhythm hit 'er
