I came in the door i said it before I never let the mic magnatize me no
more But it's biting me fighting me inviting me to rhyme I can't hold it
back I'm looking for the line Taking off my coat clearing my throat My
rhyme will be kicking it until I hit my last note My mind'll range to find
all kinds of ideas Self esteem makes it seem like a thought took years to
build But still say a rhyme after the next one Prepared, never scared,
I'll just bless one And you know that I'm the soloist So Eric B, make 'em
clap to this
I don't bug out or chill or be acting ill No tricks in
'86, it's time to build Eric B easy on the cut, no mistakes allowed Cuz
to me, MC means move the crowd I made it easy to dance to this But can
you detect what's coming next from the flex of the wrist Saying indeed that
I precede cuz my man made a mix If he bleed he won't need no band-aid to
fix If they can get some around until there's no rhymes left I hurry up
because the cut will make 'em bleed to death But he's kicking it because it
ain't no half stepping The party is live, the rhyme can't be kept
in- Side, it needs erupting just like a volcano It ain't the everyday
style of the same old rhyme Because I'm better then the rest of them Eric
B is on the cut and my name is Rakim
Go get a girl and get soft and
warm, Don't get excited, you've been invited to a quiet storm But now
it's out of hand cuz you told me you hate me And then you ask what have I
done lately First you said all you want is love and affection Let me be
your angel and I'll be your protection Take you out, buy you all kinds of
things I must of got you too hot and burned off your wings You caught an
attitude, you need food to eat up I'm scheming like I'm dreaming on a couch
wit my feet up You scream I'm lazy, you must be crazy Thought I was a
donut, you tried to glaze me
