This is poetry in Try to catch on, stay close to the And try to make the road rough but I'm coastin' Ladies hear the rhymes rub 'em on like
Hit spots soothin', can't movin' Go ahead, bust a sweat and you can bet I'm still When I detain it's a Never the same form, every I rained on is warm
a trip through Memory Lane to Melody See if you could tell if these thoughts to fell Could do you justice but you can't touch Some kid just tried to bust but he just missed
I'm universal and more merciful So versatile the style it's reversible I get even if I say a curse or two First, let me bust another for you
Your arms too to box with Ra, so quit You don't want no of conflict Or you'll get stripped as the is ripped Pick up the now ain't that peace, yeah I'm hip
Everything I said since my intro I plant a thought extend and grow Holdin' my pen tightly it be controversy at first I write the chords of research
Don't take it for granted I'm gone my mind remains a planet If I keep buildin' and the children So when they read in the lines it's filled in
I to meditate, not a peep, concentrate I'm deep awake but not asleep At the same time risin' and what is true advised and you can stay wise and I'm untouchable
Comin' over the bridge, take a peak at the that's how I shine not only when I rhyme My makin' me stronger, mentally Physically I'm poetry now that could be

But you hear the drum said go then it gets so It's like opponents get petro the trademark left by the R That's never or smooth, it's comin' off the hardest
In effect, you could the impostor Takin' my props, Rakim is proper I'm a prophet, you can't stop it I drop it I say, coincide with the topic
Thoughts bounce around till my skull is my brain it's all manufactured As we go it's hard to find Don't even think it 'cause you can't read my mind
It's so therefore you need a ear or inclined In the mind with some kind of idea for the I'm advertisin' what is true, advised you stay wise and the mind is untouchable
