I came in the door I said it before

I never let the mic magnetize me no more

But it's biting me fighting me inviting me to rhyme

I can't hold it back I'm looking for the line

Taking off my coat clearing my throat

The rhyme will be kicking until I hit my last note

My mind remains refined all kind of ideas

Self-esteem makes it seem like a thought took years to build

But still say a rhyme after the next one

Prepared never scared I'll just bless one

And you know that I'm the soloist

So Eric B make 'em clap to this

Make 'em clap to this

Make 'em clap to this

Make 'em clap to this

Make 'em clap to this

Make 'em clap to this

I don't bug out or chill or be acting ill

No tricks in '86 it's time to build

Eric be easy on the cut no mistakes allowed

Cause to me MC means move the crowd

I made it easy to dance to this

But can you detect what's coming next

From the flex of the wrist

Say indeed and I'll proceed cause my man made a mix

If he bleed he won't need no band-aid to fix

His fingertips sew a rhyme until there's no rhymes left

I hurry up because the cut will make 'em bleed to death

But he's kicking it cause it ain't no half stepping

The party is live the rhyme can't be kept in

Side it needs erupting just like a volcano

It ain't the everyday style or the same old rhyme

Cause I'm better than the rest of them

Eric B is on the cut and my name is Rakim

Go get a girl and get soft and warm

Don't get excited you've been invited to a quiet storm

But now it's out of hand cause you told me you hate me

And then you ask what have I done lately

First you said all you want is love and affection

Let me be your angel and I'll be your protection

Take you out buy you all kinds of things

Make 'em clap to this

You caught an attitude you need food to eat up

I'm scheming like I'm dreaming on a couch on my feet up

You scream I'm lazy you must be crazy

Thought I was a donut you tried to glaze me

Make 'em clap to this

Make 'em clap to this

Make 'em clap to this

Make 'em clap

Make 'em clap to this

Make 'em clap to this

I made it easy to dance to this

But can you detect what's coming next

From the flex of the wrist

Saying indeed then I precede

'Cause my man made a mix

If he bleed he won't need no band-aid to fix

Eric B is on the cut and my name is Rakim nasty

Drop your hands to what he's doin'

Drop your hands drop your hands

Drop your hands drop your hands

Drop your hands to what he's doin'
