[rakim]

Aiyyo.. what's goin on? 

The mic lebanon teflon don..

I'm back baby

The year of the 9's

And i'ma have to make these motherfuckers a offer they can't refuse

Y'know? 



Hawhat's goin on?  yo c'monyou know it's on

I wrote a songtest my flow on the autobahn

Make sure the force is rightI floss all night

Get off the mic it'll smoke like an exhaust pipe

Keep em in the lie-burystudyin my theory

Ra theory get translated in swahili

From the lands as far as zanzibar

They understand the rthe man allah

It's obvious why the copiersthey copy this

Soon as my data processes y2k they floppy disk

Now who the hottest is?  how can it not be this? 

Baby who the cockiest?  papi is?  gracias

Aiyyothis be somagnifico

Even mytypicalstyle difficult

Make a crowd go wild when I rip a show

Better stand backthis'll blowyou didn't know? 



Chorus: rakim



They show me love when I'm come through

Yo any club that I come to

I hit a microphone check one two

And they know what I wanna do - flow forever



[rakim]

You ever witness rapport like this before? 

It's cause y'all kiss the floorsay this my lord

It's the chosen onewith the golden tongue

Flow for the old and young when I'm holdin one

In the front row sittywe show no pity

Where kids get jiggy and girls are so pretty

The wandererback from casablanca

To stomp allwhat next for ra the conqueror

So let's gothe best show will explode

No dress codesthey just pose in they best clothes

Girls get exposed when I show my rap expo

Will there be a next episode?  I guess so

Those that halved outwanted to have clout

What they mad about? 	must be a cash route

Mc's switch they style from they last bout

And I bet soon as they hear this they spaz out



Chorus 2x



[rakim]

Wherever rakim goit's the God temple

It's simplemy m.o.no problemo

Been all over the mapeven know where hell is at

I did the welcome matand then welcome back

My flow is rawthey treat me like mr. know-it-all

They want me to show em all my brand new protocol

Excuse-a-moiI make a move for ra

You ain't soupin rasave the hoop-a-la

Let me find out you rhymed out designed out

Pullin dimes out then climb outfor time out

I'm at the free throwplayin ballor cee-loI keep dough

Reloaded like carlitoincognito

I be solow keywomen get nosy

I do a show they wanna go see to get to know me

In the front row seat they cosy

Thinkin I'm givin them the bo-bo-bee until they o.d.



Chorus 4x
