- [Rakim] I came to set em straight, and let em know
Whoevers holdin the best, just let him go Cause heres the inside scoop on the fiend They wanna know why Im seldom seen Cause who needs the TV screens and magazines or shootin through the city in fly limousines Theres one thing I dont like, its the spotlight .. cause I already got light They be like, 'Yo we had a get together last week and we know everyone was there except the Black Sheik' Because my schedule is tight, I gotta write Im deep in the archives, and keepin em hyped Its been a long time, since you heard a strong rhyme None of these are weak so when you bite on mine we can trace the hits and then name that style MCsll be out of a job for a while I reposess your indentification So hand in your application Put your mic on strike until youre unemployed Contract is up and Im stampin it void Your selection aint that selective So Ima put you in your proper perspective On the dancefloor, and doin the SHAKE Ready to let em brake, set em straight [Rakim] Somebody said I set em up and pulled the plug on em But instead I let em go on so I could bug on em Go head and flow, cause I close the show Swing a song for the ladies and rhyme real slow For instance.. once I commence.. .. the crowd is convinced So now you know who to put your money on Hurry up, before your moneys gone Cause Imthe most common denominator Orchestrate a rhyme much greater Im like a world almanac, so tell the media Givin em information like encyclopedia So bring a dictionary, so you can look it up so you know what I mean, when I hook it up No misconceptions although I complicate but this conceptll set em straight They even said that I was locked in jail So now I guess Im out on bail? The only Island I was on was the Strong one And if I did my bid, itll be a long one Cause if I sold weight, Id be upstate in the penile, waitin for a brake Cause sellin drugs is for handicaps I got too many skills besides bustin rough raps If I go to jail, it wont be for sellin kis Itll be for muderin MCs The beatll take over your heart, then I start to cut em in half, cause rhymes are razor sharp Secure the exits, all MCs remain Cause we got a crowd to entertain And I know, when I go, Ill flow dangerous Brainsll bust, what you tryin to explain to us? You got lost , and couldnt go on Came up short, so heres one to grow on Elevate off a high IQ In time, youll find Im true Cause once I start on a piece of art from sun to moon and light to dark I build the Ark Now you can float off the rhymes I wrote Im sure that well hit shore without a boat You could bring a battleship and still get shipwrecked Attacked with a torpedo, what did youexpect? Driftin up the creek, without a beat or a paddle Castaway on a raft and stand fragile Rescue your crowd, which aint a hard job Me and my knowledge put together, Im a lifeguard Dealin with actual facts it sold out fat here and now, but I go so far back to bring you up to date, so we can elevate Its no time to wait, or anticipate Cause Im never late, Im gonna motivate So I can let em brake, and set em straight
