Rakim - I Know lyrics
(1st verse)
Aye yowho'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 sightI 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 paidblackbut 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 lavayeah
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'allmy 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 thisit's marvelousbaby
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 throughI drop itand they gone swing
I bring the ladies joy until they make crazy noise
Cuz the beat's bangin'- I'm born to blazebaby 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 predatorI said it all
I spread a warlike never before
Spit lead at yours like a ghetto braud raw at a ?
She'll never pause
With raw metaphorsI 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 onelet allah protect your son
Cause something musical magicianthe ageiathic author
The microphone magician when I have a magic markera mentor
You can exploreevery sentence is a tour
The inventor is more than adventure
You'll be blown awayand a zone ?
It's so illI 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
