This is poetry in motion
|
Try to catch on stay close to the host
|
and MC's try to make the road rough but I'm coastin
|
Ladies hear the rhymes rub em on like lotion
|
Hit spots soothin can't stop movin
|
Go ahead bust a sweat and you can bet I'm still coolin
|
When I detain it's a brainstorm
|
never the same form every brain I rained on is warm
|
Takin a trip through Memory Lane to Melody
|
See if you could tell if these thoughts to fell MC's
|
could do you justice, but you can't touch this
|
Some kid just tried to bust this but he just missed
|
I'm universal and much more merciful
|
So versatile with the style it's reversable
|
I get away even if I say a curse or two
|
First, let me bust another verse for you
|
Your arms too short to box with Ra so quit
|
You don't want no kind of conflict
|
Or you'll get stripped as the rhyme is ripped
|
Pick up the pieces now ain't that peace yeah I'm hip
|
Everything I said flows since my intro
|
I plant a thought extend and then grow
|
Holdin my pen tightly it might be
|
Controversy at first when I write the
|
chords of research don't just take it for granted
|
When I'm gone my mind remains a planet
|
If I keep buildin, and teach the children
|
So when they read in between the lines it's filled in
|
I break to meditate, not a peep, concentrate
|
till I'm deep awake, but not asleep
|
At the same time risin and advertisin
|
what is true, keep advised and you can stay wise
|
and I'm untouchable
|
|
Comin over the bridge take a peak at the skyline
|
Cause that's how I shine not only when I rhyme
|
My culture's makin me stronger, mentally
|
Physically I'm powerful poetry now that could be
|
labelled as art placed in a museum
|
Style'll make scenery, now you see 'em
|
Exhibit a knowledge that's packed and filled with
|
nothin illiterate it's facts I build with
|
My mind's untouchable which means intangible
|
Contents never dense it's understandable
|
I study life so I can live it the right way
|
No time to hear what another brother might say
|
Why sell a capsule of crack I don't have to
|
I rhyme and sign million dollar contracts to
|
put message on records that's graced with hard bass
|
Smugglin microphones, this ain't Scarface
|
Whoever talked that talk, I wanna hawk
|
And don't try to Escape From New York
|
Cross a 110th Street lookin for a problem
|
It's Hell Up In Harlem, watch Ra solve em
|
I hear the music clear as I get near
|
the hundred and twenty fifth street Apollo Theater
|
Take a step back when I rap I step up to you...
|
I'm untouchable
|
|
Put on my thinking cap pump the track
|
Test your reflex relax but in contact
|
you fold and lose control so hold your partner closer
|
you're supposed to keep your composure
|
But you hear the drum said go then it gets so hype
|
it's like nitro opponents get petro
|
Remember the trademark left by the R
|
that's never soft or smooth it's comin off the hardest
|
in effect, you could die-tect the imposter
|
Takin my props, Rakim is still proper
|
I'm a prophet, you can't stop it, when I drop it
|
Everything I say, coincide with the topic
|
Thoughts bounce around till my skull is fractured
|
Inside my brain it's all manufactured
|
As we go deeper it's hard to find
|
Don't even think about it, cause you can't read my mind
|
It's clear so therefore you need a ear or inclined
|
in the mind with some kind of idea for
|
the style I'm advertisin what is true
|
Keep advised that you stay wise and the mind
|
is untouchable
|
