how I get Down
Rakim
Before the dough came, my whole aim, was blow like propane
Control the whole domain, and then show no shame
Make rappers go ? and they so lame, playing with no game
Put em on the lil plane til they can't claim no fame
I got, the range, better, stay in the slow lane
I make the flow change from hurricanes to a slow rain
Your thoughts are so plane, I rearrange your whole frame
Until my whole name grow out your brain like Rogaine
Letter by letter, I put words together
Once merged, apart never, they be heard forever
And then I grab a pen and stab him in his abdomen
And smash him in, throw his mic like a javelin
Then I explain verses, that remain on the surface
At times it get deep, but I never defeat the purpose
Never go out, to go the dough route, forever hold out
I never sold out, for any amount, no doubt
That's how I get down, so tell me how you like that
I hit the town, hold it down on a tight track
I start a party now, everybody like rap
Haters are mad cause they gave the are the mic back
I like to hang where everything seem to happen at (ya know?)
It's Ra's habitat, I'm like that czar Arafat
And yes I have a gat, snap like a Israeli
A terrorist I never miss blowing up kids daily
I step to writers, and let my virus hurt the closest
I'm sick as hepatitis and worse than tuberculosis
Pull out a pen, like a grenade, and drop it quick
I strike again and I'ma get paid, exotic shit
You know the God ra be, hot as the Mojave
Swing like King Usabi, my posse be kamikaze
On the corners like I'm homeless and I, don't know where home is
The bonus, is where the next open microphone is
Me and my team, vision like a radar screen
Intervene and yo, cut the mic off, cause Ra fiend
To show the whole world some of the things I seen
Then blow it up, like Edi Amin, ya know what I mean?
I do a thing thing, I write the songs they sing
Make sure that they swing, from New York to Beijing
Put your thoughts in the sling and your brain is gangrene
Pull in the ring, repeating and saying the same thing
Xerox, zero, no match, you ditto
Copy machine, couldn't reprint my ?
My new style, that I produce now's beyond two-thou'
I knew how, since a juvenile, to make a ka-pow
When the night's falling, I can hear the mic calling
I like balling, I cut back like Mic Jordan
This is for y'all while I'm spitting literature's
Lyrics'll ball like Allen Iverson dribble the ball
They hopeless, whoever approaches my high explosives
My vision sadicious, and freestyle's ferocious
I wrote this, words flew over my head like a locust
I turned the beat up, sat back, and stayed focused
I do a thing thing, I write the songs they sing
Make sure that they swing, from New York to Beijing
Put your thoughts in the sling and your brain is gangrene
Pull in the ring, repeating and saying the same thing
Xerox, zero, no match, you ditto
Copy machine, couldn't reprint my ?
My new style, that I produce now's beyond two-thou'
I knew how, since a juvenile, to make a ka-pow
When the night's falling, I can hear the mic calling
I like balling, I cut back like Mic Jordan
This is for y'all while I'm spitting literature's
Lyrics'll ball like Allen Iverson dribble the ball
They hopeless, whoever approaches my high explosives
My vision sadicious, and freestyle's ferocious
I wrote this, words flew over my head like a locust
I turned the beat up, sat back, and stayed focused

Put my time into this infinite rhyme,
Speaks so divine,
Break in the bassline,
Let me show, ya the design,
Artifacts of my mind,
Get yall intertwined, cosign,
By the angels in line,
I speak it from the heart of mine,
No need for cuss lines,
The knowledge beats any,
Who went to college,
This is a cosmic collage, so switch the topics,
Its the return of the prophet,
Burning up like the hot picks,
Billboard number one sun,
Underground even stunned,
Shook the courts,
Now they want me an album,
I rather play a bum,
Then followed satans hmm, to the beats of the drum,
Dont get caught in the ums,
Soothin' as tums,
No bellyaches, or harassments from jake,
Take a deep look, as in take,
Fiery eyes,
Could sizzle a steak wait,
Lets keep it, on subject,
I rap for the street politics,
Learned to watch for the snakes that bit,
Dimmed my innocence, formed an alliance, defiance,
Recongized in me, im sittin' at a buck fifty, mighty healthy,
Combat wiz stealthy,
They couldn't even fail me,
Cuz of the inner G-O-D,
Five percenter,
Praised greatfully, notice me,
I dont need to brag,
I just sit back light a gar,
And cout my bags,
From the god Rakim, enjoy your weekend my dog 🔥💎💭
You too my brother!!! Enjoy your weekend. Can’t wait for you to post some more heat soon!! 🔥
Yes soon it's so hot and warm these days, im taking a little break

Working a lot at the place I work for the summertime but I’m okay man.. and wordddd? Can’t wait to hear that 🔥🔥🔥
Aight check it,
I used to be a skrew up,
Ever since I left the dope game,
I can up,
Like seargent,
You can call me prima vate,
Id wake up,
Screws loose,
Brains dead,
Used to be the type of dude,
Selling dope up out the U-Haul,
