Generate meaning
1
It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you
2
Without a strong rhyme to step to
3
Think of how many weak shows you slept through
4
Time's up, I'm sorry I kept you
5
Thinking of this, you keep repeating you miss
6
The rhymes from the microphone soloist
7
And you sit by the radio, hand on the dial, soon
8
As you hear it, pump up the volume
9
Dance wit the speaker 'til you hear it blow
10
Then plug in the headphone 'cause here it go
11
It's a 4 letter word when it's heard, it controls
12
Your body to dance soul
13
(You got it)
14
Detects the tempo like a red alert
15
Reaches your reflex, so let it work
16
When this is playing, you can't get stuck wit
17
The steps, so get set and I'm a still come up wit
18
A gift to be swift, follow the leader, the rhyme will go
19
Def wit the record that was mixed a long time ago
20
It can be done but only I can do it
21
For those that can dance and clap your hands to it
22
I start to think and then I sink into the paper like I was ink
23
When I'm writing, I'm trapped in between the lines
24
I escape when I finish the rhyme
25
I got soul
26
You got it
27
You got it
28
You got it
29
You got it
30
I know you got soul
31
Picture a mic, the stage is empty
32
A beat like this might tempt me
33
To pose, show my rings and my fat gold chain
34
Grab the mic like I'm on Soul Train
35
But I'll wait 'cause I mastered this
36
Let the others go first so the brothers don't miss
37
Eric B. break the sticks
38
(You got it)
39
Rakim will begin when you make the mix
40
I'll experiment like a scientist
41
You wanna rhyme, you gotta sign my list
42
'Cause I'm a manifest and bless the mic I hold
43
You want it next? Then you gotta have soul
44
'Cause if you ain't got it, I'm a make an encore
45
Take the mic, make the people respond for
46
The R, 'cause that's the way it'll have to be
47
If you wanna get on after me
48
Think about it, wait, erase your rhyme
49
Forget it and don't waste your time
50
'Cause I'll be in the crowd if you ain't controlling it
51
Drop the mic, you shouldn't be holding it
52
This is how it should be done
53
This style is identical to none
54
Some try to make it sound like this but you're getting me
55
So upset that I'm wet 'cause you're sweating me
56
I drip steam like a microphone fiend
57
Eager to MC is my theme
58
I get hype when I hear a drum roll
59
Rakim is on the mic and you know I got soul
60
You got it
61
You got it
62
You got it
63
You got it
64
You got it
65
I got soul, that's why I came
66
(You got it)
67
To teach those who can't say my name
68
First of all, I'm the soloist, the soul controller
69
Rakim gets stronger as I get older
70
Constant elevation causes expansion
71
I write my rhyme while I cool in my mansion
72
Then put it on tape and in the city I test it
73
Then on the radio the R's requested
74
You listen to it, the concept might break you
75
'Cause almost anyone can relate to
76
Whoever's out of hand, I'm give him handles
77
Light 'em up, blow 'em out like candles
78
Or should I just let him melt?
79
Then give him a hand so they can see how it felt
80
I'm not bold just 'cause I rock gold
81
Rakim is on the mic and you know I got soul
82
You got it
83
You got it
84
You got it
85
You got it
86
Now I'm a stop to see what you got
87
Get off the mic before I get too hot
88
I want to see which posse can dance the best
89
It should be easy 'cause the beat is fresh
90
Now if your from Uptown, Brooklyn bound
91
The Bronx, Queens, or Long Island Sound
92
Even other states come right and exact
93
It ain't where you're from, it's where you're at
94
Since you came here, you have to show and prove
95
And do that dance until it don't move
96
'Cause all you need is soul self-esteem will release
97
The rest is up to you, Rakim'll say peace
98
You got it
99
You got it
100
You got it
101
