This is poetry in Try to catch on, stay close to the And try to make the road rough but I'm coastin' Ladies the rhymes rub 'em on like lotion
Hit spots soothin', can't stop Go ahead, bust a sweat and you can bet I'm still When I it's a brainstorm Never the same form, every brain I rained on is
Takin' a trip through Memory to Melody See if you could tell if these thoughts to MC's Could do you justice but you can't touch Some kid tried to bust this but he just missed
I'm universal and more merciful So versatile with the style reversible I get away if I say a curse or two First, let me bust verse for you
Your arms too short to box 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 said flows since my I plant a thought and then grow Holdin' my pen tightly it might be at first When I write the of research
Don't just it for granted I'm gone my mind remains a planet If I keep buildin' and the children So when they read in between the lines filled in
I to meditate, not a peep, concentrate Till I'm deep but not asleep At the same time risin' and advertisin' is true advised and you can stay wise and I'm untouchable

Why sell a of crack I don't have to? I rhyme and sign million dollar to Put message on records that's with hard bass Smugglin' microphones, ain't Scarface
talked that talk, I wanna hawk And don't try to 'Escape New York' Cross a 110th lookin' for a problem It's Up In Harlem', watch Ra solve 'em
I hear the 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

But you hear the drum said go it gets so hype It's like opponents get petro the trademark left by the R That's soft or smooth, it's comin' off the hardest
In effect, you could die-tect the Takin' my props, Rakim is proper I'm a prophet, you can't it when I drop it I say, coincide with the topic
Thoughts around till my skull is fractured Inside my brain it's all As we go it's hard to find Don't even think it 'cause you can't read my mind
It's clear so therefore you need a ear or In the mind some kind of idea for the style I'm advertisin' what is true, keep That you wise and the mind is untouchable
