Its been a long time, I shouldnt have left you Without a strong rhyme to step to Think of how many weak shows you slept through Times up, Im sorry I kept you Thinking of this, you keep repeating you miss The rhymes from the microphone soloist And you sit by the radio, hand on the dial, soon As you hear it, pump up the volume Dance wit the speaker till you hear it blow, Then plug in the headphone cause here it go Its a 4 letter word when its heard, it control Your body to dance (you got it) soul, Ditects the tempo like a red alert Reaches your reflex, so let it work When this is playing, you cant get stuck wit The steps, so get set and Im a still come up wit A gift to be swift, follow the leader, the rhyme will go Def wit the record that was mixed a long time ago It can be done but only I can do it For those that can dance and clap your hands to it I start to think and then I sink Into the paper like I was ink When Im writing, Im trapped in between the lines, I escape when I finish the rhyme... I got soul
You got it (4x) I know you got soul
Picture a mic, the stage is empty A beat like this might tempt me To pose, show my rings and my fat gold chain Grab the mic like Im on soul train But Ill wait cause I mastered this Let the others go first so the brothers dont miss Eric b. break the sticks (you got it) Rakim will begin when you make the mix Ill experiment like a scientist You wanna rhyme, you gotta sign my list cause Im a manifest and bless the mic I hold You want it next? then you gotta have soul cause if you aint got it, Im a make an encore Take the mic, make the people respond for The r, cause thats the way itll have to be If you wanna get on after me Think about it, wait, erase your rhyme Forget it and dont waste your time cause Ill be in the crowd if you aint controlling it Drop the mic, you shouldnt be holding it This is how it should be done This style is identical to none Some try to make it sound like this but youre getting me So upset that Im wet cause youre sweating me I drip steam like a microphone fiend Eager to mc is my theme I get hype when I hear a drum roll Rakim is on the mic and you know I got soul
You got it (5x)
I got soul (you got it) thats why I came To teach those who cant say my name First of all, Im the soloist, the soul controller Rakim gets stronger as I get older Constant elevation causes expansion I write my rhyme while I cool in my mansion Then put it on tape and in the city I test it Then on the radio the rs requested You listen to it, the concept might break you cause almost anyone can relate to... Whoevers out of hand, Im give him handles Light em up, blow em out like candles Or should I just let him melt? Then give him a hand so they can see how it felt Im not bold just cuz I rock gold Rakim is on the mic and you know I got soul
You got it (4x)
Now Im a stop to see what you got Get off the mic before I get too hot I want to see which posse can dance the best It should be easy cause the beat is fresh Now if your from uptown, brooklyn- bound, The bronx, queens, or long island sound, Even other states come right and exact, It aint where youre from, its where youre at Since you came here, you have to show and prove And do that dance until it dont move cause all you need is soul self-esteem will release, The rest is up to you, rakim ll say peace
