[Intro: Rakim]

Yeah!

The triumphant return... (Rakim Allah!)

Uh!

Uh-huh!

[Rakim:]
|
Remember being introduced to rappin' your first rhyme?
|
It's pivotal! - Like a fiends first high.
|
Hustlers first ride, - players first dime,
|
Unforgettable like the ladies first time.
|
The world been waitin' for euphoria
|
The true form with a sixth sense. - New nausea.
|
True talk to the tomb, so you forced me to go hard
|
Like the streets is the womb - and New York
|
Be the birth place of Hip-Hop. - Get it? It's the model!
|
Where swagger was born, we set trends to follow.
|
The home of the gods, the go-getters and my flow
|
Ain't a city been so prolific since Cairo.
|
Hiero-glyphic. - Graffiti paint of view
|
Slang languages, too, just naming a few.
|
Still claiming through that thing that you do
|
Til you famous and just love for the game and this bangers for you!
|
|
[Chorus: Cocoa Chanelle]
|
Euphoria... - Euphoria, natural high. (high!)
|
Feeling good off this Hip-Hop I supply. ('ply!)
|
Time goes by. (by!) - Still world wide (wide!)
|
Still top five rapping, dead or alive! ('live!) - Euphoria...
|
|
[Bridge: Rakim (Styles P)]

The world been waiting for euphoria... [scratches]
|
[Screwed] Euphoria! [scratches] (you wronged the shit!)
|
The world been waiting for euphoria... (salute!) [scratches]
|
Euphoria...

|
[Styles P:]
|
I love Hip-Hop to death! (I love it!)
|
Drop science like Rakim. - My thoughts manifest. (yeah!)
|
Yeah, I'm the Ghost but you can see me in the flesh (see me?!)
|
Created a father that he can see me through the test. (see me!)
|
It wasn't for rap, my life will probably be a mess (mess!)
|
Used to sell crack outside. (true!)
|
Had a bad attitude, used to scrap outside (true!)
|
But listen to that motherfucker rap outside! (yeah!)
|
You can hear me over the guns that clap outside (you been!)
|
True warrior raps my euphoria. (I love it!)
|
Only my mind can bring me this many stories up (only my minbd!)
|
No elevators! - No escalators! (uh-uh!)
|
Spit hard 'til death or respirators (spit hard!)
|
This is alpha-omega, nigga. - Get your data! (get your data!)
|
I transform when the mic' plugged in
|
Cause the feelings euphoric. - Cause I spit boric! (yes!)
|
|
[Chorus]

The world been waiting for euphoria... [scratches] (HA-HAAAAAAAAHHH!)
|
Euphoria... (uh, yo!)

[Jadakiss:]
|
At the end of the day - what does it all amount to? (what?)
|
Verses too strong to be sold over the counter. (drugs!)
|
Industry is like a night club and I'm a bouncer (haha!)
|
I don't give a fuck about what you can sell and ounce for.
|
Nah! - That ain't the topic of discussion
|
It's the music, y'all niggas think it's knocking it's disgusting. (uh-huh!)
|
I just rather pull it out, cock it then bust him!
|
Feels like he plugged into a socket when you touch him! (hahhh!)
|
Ain't a thang for me! (nah!) - Pain then glory. (yeah!)
|
Temporary thug exchange the same story.
|
That's why I'm still militant. - Still killing it!
|
Soon as it enters the blood stream; start feelin' it. (uhh!)
|
Then it's all good long as you know what you dealin' with (uh-huh!)
|
Knowledge of the game that I got I'm concealin' it. (yup!)
|
I'm talking to all of y'all (all of y'all!) - put the.four-four to ya
|
Kiss is a warrior. (warrior!) - This is euphoria! What?!
|
|
[Chorus]

Euphoria... (ayo, ayo!)

[Busta Rhymes:]
|
It's like I'm dealin' with spirits and 'bout to send a ghost to get 'em
|
When they hear me spit I make them tremble like the dope was in 'em. (AHHHH!)
|
Going into convulsions from the size of the weed bag,
|
Victims is regular junkies, this celebrity rehab.
|
Respected by all of the godfathers and the new names
|
They got a love for my product insert it in their blue vein. (okay!)
|
| They on my neck when I come around like |
