I Know
Rakim

Aye yo, who's the most explosive one yet?

The a roundest one left

Who flows express to them rhythm drum set ain't done yet?

Flow like a trumpet to your eardrum are deaf

Who pose a threat?

Yo, who's more ferocious, none yet

To the night damn set mic trends and life ends

In sight, I see the whole world through a tight lens

Rhymes I write wins and kept a white Benz

Spend G's like hundreds and hundreds like tens


I get paid, Black, but laid back with mild manners

When I flip it's the opposite of dark Bruce Banner

Out the lab with soul and melodies in your ear

And just when it all seem clear I disappear

All you gotta do is holler

Reappear like vol-la the street scholar

I'm 40 deep like Ali Baba

Give the mamas somethin' to talk about in the beauty parlor

Keep it hot like lava, yeah

It's Rakim Allah


I know you find it hard to believe that

I am the genie of the mic an

I can do anything you wish but

Right now I'm commandin' you to dance


Ready to dance y'all, my magic carpet's the dance floor

Last chance y'all even if you can't ball

What part don't you understand? Your wish is my command

And I'm a rock a jam by popular demand

You gone love this, it's marvelous, baby

It gotta thug's twist, it start to get crazy

It's off the meat rack, I can't keep my peeps back

I speak raps and I freak tracks for these cats


I got a fetish for puttin' together words and letters

It ain't all about the cheddars and y'all know where my head is

Ghetto scriptures for my little brothers and sisters

And still get vicious for the thugs and the Misses

What I don't do is talk about the same old thing

When I come through, I drop it, and they gone swing

I bring the ladies joy until' they make crazy noise

'Cuz the beat's bangin', I'm born to blaze, baby boy


I know, you find it hard to believe that

I am the genie of the mic an

I can do anything you wish but

Right now I'm commanding you to dance


I know, you find it hard to believe that

I am the genie of the mic an

I can do anything you wish but

Right now I'm commanding you to dance


The editor-forever more the predator, I said it all

I spread a war, like never before

Spit lead at yours like a ghetto Braud raw at a?

She'll never pause with raw metaphors, I set it off

But I just begun the best is yet to come

Blessed with a majestic tongue since I was young

But I was stressed for funds and obsessed with guns

Test the one, let Allah protect your son


'Cause somethin' musical magician, the ageiathic author

The microphone magician when I have a magic marker, a mentor

You can explore, every sentence is a tour

The inventor is more than adventure

You'll be blown away and a zone to play

It's so ill, I still grab the microphone and say

One of my own displays like I'm known to blaze

And I bet rhyme pays until I'm old and gray


I know you find it hard to believe that

I am the genie of the mic an

I can do anything you wish but

Right now I'm commanding you to dance


I know you find it hard to believe that

I am the genie of the mic an

I can do anything you wish but

Right now I'm commanding you to dance


I know you find it hard to believe that

I am the genie of the mic an

I can do anything you wish but

Right now I'm commanding you to dance


I know you find it hard to believe that

I am the genie of the mic an

I can do anything you wish but

Right now I'm commanding you to dance
