[00:01.00] 作曲 : Eric Barrier/William Griffin
[00:21.74]Turn up the bass, check out my melody, hand out a cigar
[00:24.03]I'm lettin knowledge be born, and my name's the r
[00:27.09]A-k-i-m not like the rest of them, I'm not on a list
[00:30.07]That's what I'm sayin, I drop science like a scientist
[00:32.66]My melody's in a code, the very next episode
[00:35.23]Has the mic often distortin, ready to explode
[00:37.54]I keep the mic in fahrenheit, freeze mc's and make em colder
[00:40.54]The listener's system is kickin like solar
[00:43.60]As I memorize, advertise, like a poet
[00:45.66]Keep you goin when I'm flowin, smooth enough, you know it
[00:49.14]But rough that's why the middle of my story I tell e.b.
[00:52.14]Nobody beats the ＂r＂, check out my melody...
[00:55.54]
[01:04.84]So what if I'm a microphone fiend addicted soon as I sing
[01:07.84]One of these for mc's so they don't have to scream
[01:10.15]I couldn't wait to take the mic, flow into it to test
[01:13.14]Then let my melody play, and then the record suggest
[01:15.57]That I'm droppin bombs, but I stay peace and calm
[01:18.71]Any mc that disagree with me just wave your arm
[01:21.27]And I'll break, when I'm through breakin I'll leave you broke
[01:23.95]Drop the mic when I'm finished and watch it smoke
[01:26.69]So stand back, you wanna rap? all of that can wait
[01:29.38]I won't push, I won't beat around the bush
[01:31.71]I wanna break upon those who are not supposed to
[01:35.30]You might try but you can't get close to
[01:37.74]Because I'm number one, competition is none
[01:39.80]
[01:40.37]
[01:43.24]Whether playin ball or bobbin in the hall
[01:45.61]I just writin my name in graffiti on the wall
[01:48.42]You shouldn't have told me you said you control me
[01:51.23]So now a contest is what you owe me
[01:54.60]Pull out your money, pull out your cut
[01:56.55]Pull up a chair
[01:59.42]My name is rakim allah, and r & a stands for ＂ra＂
[02:02.35]Switch it around, but still comes out ＂r＂
[02:04.91]So easily will I e-m-c-e-e
[02:07.47]My repetition of words is ＂check out my melody＂
[02:10.46]Some bass and treble is moist, scratchin and cuttin a voice
[02:12.77]And when it's mine that's when the rhyme is always choice
[02:15.08]I wouldn't have came to ? set? my name ? around the? same weak ****
[02:18.49]Puttin blurs and slurs and words that don't fit
[02:21.00]In rhyme, a why waste time on the microphone
[02:23.54]I take this more serious than just a poem
[02:26.53]Rockin party to party, backyard to yard
[02:28.53]Now tear it up, y'all, and bless the mic for the gods
[02:32.57]
[02:43.44]The rhyme is rugged, at the same time sharp
[02:45.44]I can swing off anything even a string of a harp
[02:48.18]Just turn it on and start rockin, mind no introduction
[02:50.30]
[02:51.03]Til I finish droppin science, no interruption
[02:53.79]When I approach I exercise like a coach
[02:56.15]Usin a melody and add numerous notes
[02:59.10]With the mic and the r-a-k-i-m
[03:01.66]It's a task, like a match I will strike again
[03:04.35]Rhymes are poetically kept and alphabetically stepped
[03:07.09]Put in order to pursue with the momentum except
[03:09.65]I say one rhyme and I order a longer rhyme shorter
[03:12.33]A pause, but don't stop the tape recorder
[03:16.41]
[03:37.01]I'm not a regular competitor, first rhyme editor
[03:39.80]Melody arranger, poet, etcetera
[03:42.51]Extra events, the grand finale like bonus
[03:45.07]
[03:45.58]I am the man they call the microphonist
[03:47.83]With wisdom which means wise words bein spoken
[03:50.51]Too many at one time watch the mic start smokin
[03:53.18]I came to express the rap I manifest
[03:55.94]Stand in my way and I'll lead a ? ? ? words protest
[03:58.43]
[03:59.12]Mc's that wanna be dissed they're gonna
[04:01.42]Be dissed if they don't get from in fronta
[04:04.16]All they can go get is me a glass of moet
[04:06.60]A hard time, sip your juice and watch a smooth poet
[04:09.78]I take 7 mc's put em in a line
[04:11.78]And add 7 more brothas who think they can rhyme
[04:14.83]Well, it'll take 7 more before I go for mine
[04:17.65]And that's 21 mc's ate up at the same time
[04:20.14]Easy does it, do it easy, that's what I'm doin
[04:22.58]No fessin, no messin around, no chewin
[04:25.63]No robbin, no buyin, bitin, why bother
[04:28.19]This slob'll stop tryin fightin to follow
[04:30.44]
[04:31.04]My unusual style will confuse you a while
[04:33.85]If I was water, I flow in the nile
[04:36.41]So many rhymes you won't have time to go for your's
[04:39.15]Just because of a cause I have to pause
[04:42.03]Right after tonight is when I prepare
[04:44.41]To catch another sucka duck mc out there
[04:47.27]Cos my strategy has to be tragedy, catastrophe
[04:50.14]And after this you'll call me your majesty
[04:52.88]My melody...
[04:57.78]
[05:14.38]Marley marl synthesized it, I memorize it
[05:17.68]Eric b made a cut and advertised it
[05:19.93]My melody's created for mc's in the place
[05:22.43]Who try to listen cos I'm dissin
[05:24.05]
[05:24.78]take off your necklace, you try to detect my pace?
[05:28.02]now you're buggin over off my rhyme like bass
[05:30.52]The melody that I'm stylin, smooth as a violin
[05:33.45]Rough enough to break new york from long island
[05:36.32]My wisdom is swift, no matter if
[05:38.57]My momentum is slow, mc's still stand stiff
[05:41.31]I'm genuine like leather, don't try to be clever
[05:44.59]Mc's you'll beat the ＂r＂, I'll say ＂oh never＂
[05:47.08]So eric b cut it easily
[05:48.64]
[05:49.56]And check out my melody...
