Rakim
It's been a long timeIt's been a long timeIt's been a long timeIt's been a long timeRakim the microphone soloistFollow procedures the crowd couldn't wait to see thisNobody been this long awaited since JesusWho wouldn't believe this I heard the word on the street isI'm still one of the deepest on the mic since AdidasThey said I changed the times from the rhymes that I thought ofSo I made some more to put the New World in OrderWith Mathematics, put your status above the averageAnd help you rappers, make paragraphs with graphics'Cause new days is dawnin', new ways of peformin'Brain stormin', I write and watch the night turn to mornin'On and on and, I got the whole world respondin'Rock, I keep it hot and blow the spot without warnin'The Emperor, well known for, inventin' a sentenceFull of adventure, turnin' up the temperatureRush with adrenaline, how long has it been againTo be in the state of min'd that Rakim is in?It's been a long timeRakim, the microphone soloistIt's been a long timeIt's been a long timeRakimWhen I'm out proppin', either, hangin' or shoppin'People see me stop and ask me when the album droppin'The wait is over, information like a soldierLike I told ya, greater stronger, now that I'm olderI broke the, code of silence with overloads of talentsMy only challenge, is not to explode in violenceI'm Asiatic, and blazin' microphones a habitAt least once durin' the course of a day, it's automaticIn ghetto apparel, mind of a Egyptian PharaohFar from shallow, thoughts travel like an arrowAllah's monotony, so far they can't stop meYou know, Ra want property like Mumar KhadafiMore thoughts than Bibles, recital, taught disciplesA sawed off mic, so words scatter like a rifleThoughts that's trifle, I'm bustin' these for youAiyyo, technical difficulties is throughIt's been a long timeRakim, the microphone soloistIt's been a long timeRakim, the microphone soloistIt's been a long timeRakim, the microphone soloistIt's been a long timeIt's been a long timeWhen I float at night, I show 'em new heights, I go to writeThey know I strike with new prototypes to blow the micCritics and biters, don't know where my source of light isStill leave authors and writers with arthritisCursed kids like the Pyramids when they found the styleFirst to ever let a rhyme flow down the NileThe rebirth of hip-hop'll be dropped now'Cause the crowd didn't hear the original in a whileSo be alarmed, what you 'bout to see is the bombLike, 3-D in' 'Nam, vivid like CD-RomInfo kept like Internet.comMy notebook's my bond like the Holy QuranSince I came in the door, said it beforeBut no I ain't down with Eric B no moreAt night the open mic be invitin' me to rhymeSo yo I'm online, it's been a long timeIt's been a long timeIt's been a long timeRakim, the microphone soloistIt's been a long timeRakim, the microphone soloistIt's been a long timeIt's been a long timeIt's been a long timeIt's been a long timeIt's been a long time
