Dedication to my children my child
Destiny Jones
To my niece and nephews Suree Malik Jabari
The world is yours
Acknowledgements: First off I wanna
Thank God
And I wanna thank everybody for helping me out
With this
Couldn't do it without you Chapter 1
January 28 1968
Born into this world as William Griffin The Great
Chapter 1 Wyndanch Long Island
Scientific rhymin' invented a new sound
When he met with
Eric Barrier from East Sandhurst
The melody they created was the first
Burst on the scene 1986 with Clap To This
'87 dropped a classic disc
The facts is the tracklist was like four
The vocals the beats -- according to Marly Marl
Recorded in my hometown Queensbridge
That's why it's so relative
This biography was unauthorized
I spit it how it was given to author Nas
William changed his name at sixteen to Rakim Allah
'Cause Clarence 13X had New York on lock
Gods on every block jams in every park
I remember hearin' Curtis Blow saying
"It can't get better than this"
'Til Run DMC blew my brains to bits
From leather coats to shell toes
To the stan smiths to Dapper Dan kicks
First million-dollar deal ever in rap
18th Letter did that
From 41st & Broadway to Uni to MCA
We followed the leader to Harlem's Apollo Theatre
Supreme rapped and the 50 that don't rap
Forte Green Queens Long Island wolfpack
Paid In Full posse hot they was on
And Ra had his firstborn
With the next line I'ma be easy
His wisdom's name is Fifi
EPMD put a record out was dope
Tension spread and I quote
"Smack me and I smack you back"
Sounded like the answer to the I Ain't No Joke track
For a second it ain't look good
Little tension buzzin' from Wyndanch to Brentwood
Misunderstood all forgot
By sixteen when I met Freddy Foxx
Totin' burners the whole coast's most concern was
How was Rakim's flow
Made Christians convert with Islamic ways
Let The Rhythm Hit 'Em was the third LP
A sophisticated mean one
Before similar voices were King Son
A few others but sooner or later
The game was Ra's kingdom
At sixteen son was watchin' him mesmorized
Respect not jockin' him was so amazin' besides
He came on the stage with lasers in his eyes
Walk with me now
"Unauthorized biography of Rakim
Epilogue: Mother was
A jazz singer Nephew to R & B legend Ruth Brown
Discography: Paid In Full Follow The Leader Let
The Rhythm Hit 'Em Don't Sweat The Technique That's
The end of the group Went off to solo Dropped the R
Then the 18th Letter and I think somethin' The
Master Was signed to Aftermath scheduled to release
An album Oh My God with Dr Dre The album was
Dismantled because of creative differences Thee end
To the new beginning Yeah Next book KRS1 Peace "
