(1st verse)
|
Aye yo, who's the most explosive one yet?
|
The a roundest one left
|
Who flows express to them rhythm drum set ain't done yet?
|
Flow like a trumpet to your eardrum are deaf
|
Who pose a threat?
|
Yo- who's more ferocious- none yet
|
To the night damn set mic trends and life ends
|
In sight, I see the whole world through a tight lens
|
Rhymes I write wins and kept a white Benz
|
Spend G's like hundreds and hundreds like tens
|
I get paid, Black, but laid back with mild manners
|
When I flip it's the opposite of dark Bruce Banner
|
Out the lab with soul and melodies in your ear
|
And just when it all seem clear I disappear
|
All you gotta do is holler
|
Reappear like vol-la the street scholar
|
I'm 40 deep like Ali Baba
|
Give the mamas something to talk about in the beauty parlor
|
Keep it hot like lava, yeah
|
It's Rakim Allah
|
|
(Chorus)
|
I know you find it hard to believe that
|
I am the genie of the mic an
|
I can do anything you wish but
|
Right now I'm commanding you to dance
|
|
(2nd verse)
|
Ready to dance y'all, my magic carpet's the dance floor
|
Last chance y'all even if you can't ball
|
What part don't you understand? Your wish is my command
|
And I'm a rock a jam by popular demand
|
You gone love this, it's marvelous, baby
|
It gotta thug's twist-it start to get crazy
|
It's off the meat rack- can't keep my peeps back
|
Speak raps and I freak tracks for these cats
|
I got a fetish for puttin' together words and letters
|
It ain't all about the cheddars and y'all know where my head is
|
Ghetto scriptures for my little brothers and sisters
|
And still get vicious for the thugs and the Misses
|
What I don't do is talk about the same old thing
|
When I come through, I drop it, and they gone swing
|
I bring the ladies joy until they make crazy noise
|
Cuz the beat's bangin'- I'm born to blaze, baby boy
|
|
(Chorus)
|
I know I you find it hard to believe that
|
I am the genie of the mic an
|
I can do anything you wish but
|
Right now I'm commanding you to dance
|
|
(3rd verse)
|
The editor-forever more the predator, I said it all
|
I spread a war, like never before
|
Spit lead at yours like a ghetto braud raw at a ?
|
She'll never pause
|
With raw metaphors, I set it off
|
But I just begun the best is yet to come
|
Blessed with a majestic tongue since I was young
|
But I was stressed for funds and obsessed with guns
|
Test the one, let Allah protect your son
|
Cause something musical magician, the ageiathic author
|
The microphone magician when I have a magic marker, a mentor
|
You can explore, every sentence is a tour
|
The inventor is more than adventure
|
You'll be blown away, and a zone ?
|
It's so ill, I still grab the microphone and say
|
One of my own displays like I'm known to blaze
|
And I bet rhyme pays until I'm old and gray
|
|
(Chorus)(4x)
|
I know you find it hard to believe that
|
I am the genie of the mic and
|
I can do anything wish but
|
Right now I'm commanding you to dance
|
