I`m the arsenal
I got artillery, lyrics of ammo
Rounds of rhythm
Then I`m `a give `em piano
Bring a bullet-proof vest
Nothin` to ricochet
ready to aim at the brain
~Now what the trigger say
Tempos triflin`
Felt like a rifle
Massage `n` melodies
Might go right through
Simultaneously like an Uzi
Nothin` can bruise me
Lyrics let up when lady say don`t lose me
So re-load quickly
And you better hit me
While I`m lettin` this fifi get wit me
You steppin` with .007
Better make it snappy
No time to do your hair, baby
Brothers are bustin` 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
`Cause I`m real fast
Let off some rhythm at `em
Let `em feel the blast
Penetrate at a crazy rate
This ain`t no .38
Hit `em at point blank range
And watch `em radiate
Runnin` out of ammunition
I`m done wit` em
You ask me how I did `em
I let the rhythm hit `em
I push a power that`s punishable
Better be a prisoner
The hit man is the
Brother wit` 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 `em with` some of that
Cut like a lumberjack
And me gettin` hit back
It won`t be none of that
I`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 pumpin`
Their fist like this
Ya hide in the back
Thinkin` that I might miss
But the R is accurate
Plus I`m packed up with
Educated punch lines that
I have to hit
Whatever I aim at
I line `em up
Ya body is weak, feel with pain
That time is up
You been hit with somethin`
Different, isn`t it?
Rakim is gonna radiate and nothing`s equivalent
Nothin` can harm me
Why try to bar me
You couldn`t come around THE RA with aN army
You`ll get wrecked by the architect
So respect `em
I disconnect `em, soon as I inject `em
With radiation
Put `em by the basement
Bust his chest open
Bash his face in
Let it split `im
Since he brought his main man wit` `im
He ask me how I did `im
I let the rhythm hit `im
Let it hit `im
Dance floor`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
There`s a slight chance
The crowd is crucial
M.C.`s grounds are neutral
Now that you`re here let me introduce you
Get ready
I`m hard read like graffiti but steady
Science I drop is real heavy
Radiant energy, that`ll be the penalty
Touch the third rail on the pain of remedy
The prescription`s one every hour
Now it`s a HABIT
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
NO ONE made a iller jam
My rhyme is the rhythm of thoughts
That kill a man
Ideas for the ear to fear
Might split `im
He`ll never forget `im
He`ll rest in peace wit` `em
At least when he left he`ll know what hit `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 you`ll blow the hell up
If I slow up, THEY`LL catch up, hell no
Wicked as I kicked it
Don`t need to remix it
`Cause I prefixed it
Reversed and switched it
To perform to perfection
Section for section
Rhymes keep connectin`
Ya guessin` what`s next an`
Blood pressure rises, ya damn near lost it
Ya hit the ground burnin` and woke up frostbit`
`Cause when I explained ya can`t complain for pain
Travel through the brain hit a vein
Then remain, let it radiate
Vibes will vibrate
Why did you violate
Now I`m `a have to let the style brak
Moans now the tone is ingrown
After this here`s thrown, gimme another microphone
Before I get that fifi I met
Whisper I wanna reach HER intellect
Kiss her `cause I wanna give her the most respect
So I shine and let the write reflect
Hold `er, mold `er, make `er feel older
Lay her on my shoulder
EEverything I told her
Makes her feel secure whenever I`m wit` `er
And you know how I did `er
Me and the rhythm hit `er
