Guess Who's Back? - Rakim

[00:12.07]It's the return of the Wild Style fashionist
[00:14.76]Smashin hits make it hard to adapt to this
[00:17.10]Put pizazz and jazz in this and cash in this
[00:19.46]Mastered this flash this and make em clap to this
[00:22.37]DJ's throw on cuts and obey the crowd
[00:24.88]Just pump the volume up and play it loud
[00:27.41]Hip-Hop's embedded before I said I wouldn't let it
[00:29.92]But me and the microphone is still magnetic
[00:32.51]Straight off the top I knew I'd be forced to rock
[00:35.10]Dancefloors just stop the spot's scorchin hot
[00:37.58]Hoping I open Rakim Allah seminars
[00:40.14]Massage at the bar smokin ten dollar cigars
[00:42.70]While I admire midas with more vision than TV's
[00:45.31]I find it easy catchin diabetes from fly sweeties
[00:47.83]Sit back and wait to hear a slammin track
[00:50.23]Rockin jams by popular demand I'm back
[00:52.99]I control the crowd you know I hold it down
[00:55.45]When it drop you know it's jiggy when you hear the sound
[00:58.03]From town to town until it's world reknowned
[01:00.51]And I rock New York City all year around
[01:03.30]It's on so you can swerve when it's heard in clubs
[01:05.58]Thought patterns displayed on Persian rugs
[01:08.13]Equations are drawn up in paisley form
[01:10.67]Mic it stay warm my flow is Evian
[01:13.21]Deep as a Nautilus you stay dipped in Ra style
[01:15.70]From the shores of Long Island to Panama Canal
[01:18.35]Intellect pitches new trends like a clothes designer
[01:20.92]I'm in effect quicker than medicines in China
[01:23.45]Split the mic open fill it with somethin potent to go in
[01:26.08]And take a toke then mental planes start floatin
[01:28.54]Hot science is smokin altitudes cause chokin
[01:31.10]Product is hypnotic you're soakin and still smokin
[01:33.70]Showin better scenes than grams of amphetamines
[01:36.31]Plans to scheme means I'll forever fiend
[01:38.76]Long as the mic is loud and the volume is pumpin
[01:41.37]I'ma move crowds to 2000
[01:44.01]I control the crowd you know I hold it down
[01:46.51]When it drop you know it's jiggy when you hear the sound
[01:48.95]From town to town until it's world reknowned
[01:51.43]And I rock New York City all year around
[01:53.88]I control the crowd you know I hold it down
[01:56.56]When it drop you know it's jiggy when you hear the sound
[01:59.12]From town to town until it's world reknowned
[02:01.65]And I rock New York City all year around
