As The Rhyme Goes On Lyrics

As The Rhyme Goes On

Knowledge will begin until I finish this song
'Cuz the rhyme gets rougher as
the rhyme goes on
You sweat as you step about to get hype
Or should you
just listen to the man on the mic
You're physically in this with me but how
could you tell
If it's meant to be hip hop if you're not mentally as
well
Ready to absorb the rhyme that I just poured
Into the mic and so
unite and this won't be so bored
If you just keep kickin' listen - to the
mix
And think you'll sink into the rhyme like quicksand
Holds and
controls you 'til I leave
You fall deeper in the style - it's hard to
breathe
The only time I stop is when somebody drop and then
Bring 'em to
the front 'cuz my rhymes' the oxygen
Then wave your hands - when you're
ready I'll send you
Into your favorite dance so let the rhyme
continue
And so on and I'ma go on simultaneously
And even if I stop - the
rhyme remains to be
Rising to the top - and I came to drop it
Catch it and
quiz it - is my topic
Universual 'cuz I move everybody to come
By
exercising your mind you'll coincide as one
You look around and see how
packed the party starts to get
I draw a crowd - like an architect
The
five borroughs react and all the islands attract
And every state can't wait
- so they attack
off a spot on the floor - squeeze in cuz it's
packed
It'll be more room if MC's play the back
I'm the R the A to the
K-I-M
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am
The microphone fiend if I
was a fake
Whoever said it's just buggin' off the rhymes I make
I had you
biting your tongue for what I brung and recite
Sung it on stage some said it
don't sound like
The voice on the record - I see what you mean
Because
the system was wack, so I had to scream
So just - give me a mic if it's loud
I'll blow it
If not - into the crowd I'll throw it
Pull out my cordless
mic and entertain you well
Before I let go I'ma spark your brain cells
I
took time to write - tonight I will recite
So poetically inclined when the
mic is held tight
Rhymes start flowin' kisses are blowin
MC's are knowin'
that's why they're goin
Home to tell a friend when the party ends
"Yo, man
you know Rakim? That brother struck again"
Cuz mic by mic and stage by
stage,
Tape by tape and page by page,
When the crowd is moving I compete
with the mix
The rougher the cuts - the rougher the rhyme gets
Deeper and
Deeper - I hope you understand it
I made it up myself and I planned it
For
other MC's who waste time
Writing jokes, riddles, and maybe a rhyme
I
cross my arms and I was waiting - but I was hating
The rappers on the
microphone was fronting - just faking
They wasn't breakin', which means I
was achin'
To get up on the microphone and then start takin'
Control of
the mic - uptight when I grabbed it
So hug the speaker- your ear's a
magnet
Attracted to a freestyle put in effect
You listen to my man while
you're sippin' Moet
So Eric, pick up the needle (yeah) put it in the middle
(ahhight)
Give me a scratch, turn my Mic up a little,
I want you to hear
this perfectly clear
Catch what I'm sayin'? You get the idea?
I hope you
knowledge the beginning cuz I'm finished this song
The rhyme gets rougher as
the rhyme flows on...
