Rakim - The Saga Begins lyrics

*whistle*

"Ghetto Music" > KRS One

(here we go...)

"Yo" > Mobb Deep

"And my name is Rakim..." > The R

(repeat 5X)

Yo the saga begins my eyes is the photography lens

Properly push pens and show quality gems

The horrors be grim but yo maybe tomorrow we win

If we follow the trends and keep count of the dollars we spend

I want a mahogany Benz I want lottery ends

I want property, friends, plus my hobby is skins

If I decide we in sin, then my prophesy ends

But the God'll begin, watchin my odyssey spin

in the place where war be, based on a true story

Territory was made for me to pursue glory

Blast alone masses in zones have to be sewn

Every capacity blown, I'm internationally known, yo

*Chorus A*

So all hail the honorable, microphone phenomenal

Persona is unbombable?, trust me son

I continue like a saga do, bringin you the drama to

allow you that the chronicle has just begun

*Chorus B*

"The saga begins" --> Mobb Deep

"The soul controller, Rakim" --> Rakim

"Set it off... yo, the saga begins" --> Mobb Deep

"Still say a rhyme after the next one" --> Rakim

(repeat 2X except 8th line is "You know that I'm the soloist" --> Rakim)

Yo, my never-ending epic, got the world spinning hectic

I quickly spread it, till the whole city's infected

Suspense that I supply intensify

Then commence as my daily events go by

You get involved in this, paragraphologist

Narratin novelist, market this, sound marvelous

I'm the star in this, which means the author's authentic

Most definite, every episode's a epidemic

So when you research, check it, here go the evidence

They represent with lyrical negligence for presidents

My science existed, without the fiction

Every inscription is a special edition

*Chorus A*, *Chorus B*

Yo, the legacy lives, let em see what the pedigree is

Mega-thesis, blessin these kids with extra features

The depth's deep as, the deepest sea is

Telepathy increases melody gets speakers, telekinesis

Ideas appear as clear as, pictures in movie theaters

Lyrics you hear it, devestating the way you ear it

So stay tuned for sequels, part two's and more

So soon you and your peoples can bumrush the store

The names have changed the game remain the same

How one came to reign on his claim to fame

No stoppin this I'm droppin this with hip-hop in this

And when the topic is topicless, then I'm writing the apocalypse

*Chorus A*, *Chorus B*
