eric b、rakim - My Melody
Turn up the b***
check out my melody
hand out a cigar
I'm lettin knowledge be born
and my name's the r
A-k-i-m not like the rest of them
I'm not on a list
That's what I'm sayin
I drop science like a scientist
My melody's in a code
the very next episode
Has the mic often distortin
ready to explode
I keep the mic in fahrenheit
freeze mc's and make em colder
The listener's system
is kickin like solar
As I memorize advertise
like a poet
Keep you goin when I'm flowin
smooth enough
you know it
But rough that's
why the middle of my story
I tell e b
Nobody beats the r
check out my melody
So what if I'm a microphone
fiend addicted soon as I sing
One of these for mc's so
they don't have to scream
I couldn't wait to take the mic
flow into it to test
Then let my melody play
and then the record suggest
That I'm droppin bombs
but I stay peace and calm
Any mc that disagree with
me just wave your arm
And I'll break
when I'm through breakin
I'll leave you broke
Drop the mic when I'm
finished and watch it smoke
So stand back you wanna rap
all of that can wait
I won't push I won't beat around the bush
I wanna break upon those
who are not supposed to
You might try but you
can't get close to
Because I'm number one
competition is none
I'm measured with the
heat that's made by sun
Whether playin ball
or bobbin in the hall
I just writin my name
in graffiti on the wall
You shouldn't have told me
you said you control me
So now a contest is what you owe me
Pull out your money
pull out your cut
Pull up a chair
My name is rakim allah
and r & a stands for ra
Switch it around
but still comes out r
So easily will I e-m-c-e-e
My repetition of words
is check out my melody
Some b*** and treble is moist
scratchin and cuttin a voice
And when it's mine that's
when the rhyme is always choice
I wouldn't have came to
set my name around the
same weak ****
Puttin blurs and slurs
and words that don't fit
In a rhyme why waste
time on the microphone
I take this more serious
than just a poem
Rockin party to party
backyard to yard
Now tear it up y'all
and bless the mic for the gods
The rhyme is rugged
at the same time sharp
I can swing off anything
even a string of a harp
Just turn it on and start rockin
mind no introduction
Til I finish droppin science
no interruption
When I approach
I exercise like a coach
Usin a melody and
add numerous notes
With the mic and the r-a-k-i-m
It's a task
like a match I will strike again
Rhymes are poetically kept
and alphabetically stepped
Put in order to pursue
with the momentum except
I say one rhyme and I
order a longer rhyme shorter
A pause but don't stop
the tape recorder
I take 7 mc's put em in a line
And add 7 more brothas
who think they can rhyme
Well it'll take 7 more
before I go for mine
And that's 21 mc's ate
up at the same time
Easy does it do it easy
that's what I'm doin
No fessin no messin around
no chewin
No robbin no buyin bitin why bother
This slob'll stop
tryin fightin to follow
My unusual style will
confuse you a while
If I was water I flow in the nile
So many rhymes you won't
have time to go for your's
Just because of a cause I have to pause
Right after tonight is when I prepare
To catch another sucka
duck mc out there
Cos my strategy has
to be tragedy catastrophe
And after this you'll
call me your majesty
My melody
Marley marl synthesized it
I memorize it
Eric b made a cut and advertised it
My melody's created
for mc's in the place
Who try to listen cos I'm dissin
Take off your necklace
you try to detect my pace
Now you're buggin over
off my rhyme like b***
The melody that I'm stylin
smooth as a violin
Rough enough to break new
york from long island
My wisdom is swift
no matter if
My momentum is slow
mc's still stand stiff
I'm genuine like leather
don't try to be clever
Mc's you'll beat the r
I'll say oh never
So eric b cut it easily
And check out my melody
