Let the rhythm hit and'em
Iand'm the arsenal
i got artillery, lyrics of ammo
rounds of rhythm
then iand'm and'a give and'em piano
bring a bullet-proof vest
nothinand' to ricochet
ready to aim at the brain
~now what the trigger say
tempos triflinand'
felt like a rifle
massage and'nand' melodies
might go right through
simultaneously like an uzi
nothinand' can bruise me
lyrics let up when lady say donand't lose me
so re-load quickly
and you better hit me
while iand'm lettinand' this fifi get wit me
you steppinand' with .007
better make it snappy
no time to do your hair, baby
brothers are bustinand' at me
beats and bullets pass me
none on target
they want the r hit
but wtch the god get
quicker, the tongue is the trigger
and'cause iand'm real fast
let off some rhythm at and'em
let and'em feel the blast
penetrate at a crazy rate
this ainand't no .38
hit and'em at point blank range
and watch and'em radiate
runninand' out of ammunition
iand'm done witand' em
you ask me how i did and'em
i let the rhythm hit and'em
I push a power thatand's punishable
better be a prisoner
the hit man is the
brother witand' charisma
showing you that i have
powerful paragraphs
followers will become leaders
but without a path
ya mentally paralyzed
crippled ya third eye
rhymes are blurred
then it occurred that you heard i
reduced the friction with crucifixion
let loose the mix then
boost the piston
eric hit and'em withand' some of that
cut like a lumberjack
and me gettinand' hit back
it wonand't be none of that
iand'm untouchable
you see me in 3-d
when i let the rhythm hit another m.c.
lyrics made of lead
enters your head
then eruptions of a mass production
will spread when
music is louder
full of gunpower
microphone machinery
when i see a crowd of
party people pumpinand'
their fist like this
ya hide in the back
thinkinand' that i might miss
but the r is accurate
plus iand'm packed up with
educated punch lines that
i have to hit
whatever i aim at
i line and'em up
ya body is weak, feel with pain
that time is up
you been hit with somethinand'
different, isnand't it?
rakim is gonna radiate and nothingand's equivalent
nothinand' can harm me
why try to bar me
you couldnand't come around to rob with a army
youand'll get wrecked by the architect
so respect and'em
i disconnect and'em, soon as i inject and'em
with radiation
put and'em by the basement
bust his chest open
bash his face in
let it split and'im
since he brought his main man witand' and'im
he ask me how i did and'im
i let the rhythm hit and'im
let it hit and'im
Dance floorand's dangerous
packed in like a briefcase
rhyth with ral rough rhyme
beats with deep bass
girls with tight pants
maybe they might dance
tonight if the rs on the mike
thereand's a slight chance
the crowd is crucial
m.c.and's grounds are neutral
now that youand're here let me introduce you
get ready
iand'm hard read like graffiti but steady
science i drop is real heavy
radiant energy, thatand'll be the penalty
touch the third rail on the pain of remedy
the prescriptionand's one every hour
now itand's a havoc
if ya need another hit from the freestyle fanatic
attention: follow directions real close
keep out of reach of children
beware of overdose
too many milligram
but what made a iller jam
my rhyme is the rhythm of thoughts
that kill a man
i deas for the ear to fear
might split and'im
heand'll never forget and'im
heand'll rest in peace witand' and'em
at least when he left heand'll know what hit and'im
the last breath of the words of death
was the rhythm
Now throw you hands in the air and yo, go
rakim will do the rest of this slow
if i speed they know youand'll blow the hell up
if i slow up, catch up, hell no
wicked as i kecked it
donand't need to remix it
and'cause i prefixed it
reversed and switched it
to perform to perfection
section for section
rhymes keep connectinand'
ya guessinand' whatand's next anand'
blood pressure rise as ya damn near lost it
ya hit the ground burninand' and woke up frostbitten
and'cause when i explained ya canand't complain for pain
travel through the brain hit a vein
then remain, let it radiate
vibes will vibrate
why did you violate
now iand'm and'a have to let the style brak
moans now the tone is ingrown
after this hereand's thrown, gimme another microphone
before i get that fifi i met
whisper i wanna reach your intellect
kiss her and'cause i wanna give her the most respect
so i shine and let the write reflect
hold and'er, mold and'er, make and'er feel older
lay her on my shoulder
eeverything i told her
makes her feel secure whenever iand'm witand' and'er
and you know how i did and'er
me and the rhythm hit and'er
