Rakim Lyrics

Album: The 18th Letter

The 18th Letter (Always And Forever) Lyrics

*singing* Ahhhh ahhhh ahhhh... 

*whistle* 

"Ghetto Music" > KRS One 

(here we go...) 

"Yo" > Mobb Deep 

"And my name is Rakim..." > The R 

(repeat 5X) 

Yo the saga begins my eyes is the photography lens 

Properly push pens and show quality gems 

The horrors be grim but yo maybe tomorrow we win 

If we follow the trends and keep count of the dollars we spend 

I want a mahogany Benz I want lottery ends 

I want property, friends, plus my hobby is skins 

If I decide we in sin, then my prophesy ends 

But the God'll begin, watchin my odyssey spin 

in the place where war be, based on a true story 

Territory was made for me to pursue glory 

Blast alone masses in zones have to be sewn 

Every capacity blown, I'm internationally known, yo 

*Chorus A* 

So all hail the honorable, microphone phenomenal 

Persona is unbombable?, trust me son 

I continue like a saga do, bringin you the drama to 

allow you that the chronicle has just begun 

*Chorus B* 

"The saga begins" --> Mobb Deep 

"The soul controller, Rakim" --> Rakim 

"Set it off... yo, the saga begins" --> Mobb Deep 

"Still say a rhyme after the next one" --> Rakim 

(repeat 2X except 8th line is "You know that I'm the soloist" --> Rakim) 

Yo, my never-ending epic, got the world spinning hectic 

I quickly spread it, till the whole city's infected 

Suspense that I supply intensify 

Then commence as my daily events go by 

You get involved in this, paragraphologist 

Narratin novelist, market this, sound marvelous 

I'm the star in this, which means the author's authentic 

Most definite, every episode's a epidemic 

So when you research, check it, here go the evidence 

They represent with lyrical negligence for presidents 

My science existed, without the fiction 

Every inscription is a special edition 

*Chorus A*, *Chorus B* 

Yo, the legacy lives, let em see what the pedigree is 

Mega-thesis, blessin these kids with extra features 

The depth's deep as, the deepest sea is 

Telepathy increases melody gets speakers, telekinesis 

Ideas appear as clear as, pictures in movie theaters 

Lyrics you hear it, devestating the way you ear it 

So stay tuned for sequels, part two's and more 

So soon you and your peoples can bumrush the store 

The names have changed the game remain the same 

How one came to reign on his claim to fame 

No stoppin this I'm droppin this with hip-hop in this 

And when the topic is topicless, then I'm writing the apocalypse 

*Chorus A*, *Chorus B* 

*variations of Chorus B to fade*
