Ra! Ra! Ra! Ra! Ra! Ra! Ra! |
| [00:10.63] |
R: Rugged and rough that's how I do it |

A: Allah who I praise to the fullest |

M: It's my crown, my world, my throne |
| [00:30.92] |
Aiyyo when Rakim Allah attack, it's a wrap y'all relax |
| [00:33.57] |
The arm in that, you show me where the party's at |
| [00:36.03] |
Seminars and tracks, hors, comas, and cardiacs |
| [00:38.68] |
Broads and cats screaming "Oh my God he's back" |
| [00:41.13] |
Just imagine, I hit the lab and get it crackin' |
| [00:43.63] |
A thousand styles in one verse, rhythms will switch patterns |
| [00:46.43] |
Chicks get stabbed in the back, till they get spasms |
| [00:48.93] |
Known to spit a magnum, or split an atom |
| [00:51.28] |
Who woulda known that Jesus would come back to the ghetto |
| [00:53.77] |
On that level, and that thorough, like a black hero |
| [00:56.29] |
And pack metal, so rap rebels, will back pedal |
| [00:58.79] |
The pharaoh of five boroughs, and take over the rap world |
| [01:01.67] |
Gettin' bizarre, hardcore, this is for y'all |
| [01:04.18] |
The crib or the park, play it when you get in the car |
| [01:06.73] |
Chill at the bar, sip somethin' or split a cigar |
| [01:09.18] |
Get with your dogs, don't be alarmed, this kid is the bomb |
| [01:11.79] |
R: Rugged and rough that's how I do it |

Uh, yeah yo, I used to paint this flow, on ancient scrolls |
| [01:34.63] |
And learn ta, make this dough, where gangstas roll |
| [01:37.08] |
Think like the late great Capone when the bank is closed |
| [01:39.84] |
It's cats that claim they bold, but they ain't this cold |
| [01:42.24] |
I'm from New York City even pretty chicks act up |
| [01:44.79] |
Niggas get clapped up, you stack up, they stick that up |
| [01:47.39] |
Put the strap up, you think my name was "Kid back up" |
| [01:49.98] |
Big niggas pick that up, or lift that up |
| [01:52.76] |
Raised by gangstas and gamblers, hustlers, con artists |
| [01:56.07] |
And convicts, killers and dons |
| [01:57.87] |
Drug dealers, playas and pimps, smooth talkers |
| [02:00.34] |
Stick up kids, thugs, real niggas and gods |
| [02:02.94] |
Haunted by every soul that lay dead in the turf |
| [02:05.34] |
Close by every spirit, that never made it to birth |
| [02:07.99] |
Since the Moon separated from Earth |
| [02:09.89] |
That's why they say I'm the greatest that ever orchestrated a verse |
| [02:13.14] |
It's the |
| [02:13.39] |

Ay yo, we toast to that, it's the cat that broke backs |
| [02:35.88] |
To a soul slap, a smoke a track, how dope is that |
| [02:38.83] |
Poet for rap, wrote backs that most slack, |
| [02:41.14] |
That know rap before they turned coke to crack |
| [02:43.64] |
To my dogs hearin' sirens on and firearms |
| [02:46.39] |
Outcome die in wars or behind iron bars |
| [02:48.94] |
The boulevard, tire frauds when I evolve |
| [02:51.44] |
Try and rob, my dialogue, I am God |
| [02:54.19] |
Chicks moan just to get next to my throne |
| [02:56.54] |
And sniff my cologne and get Ra alone |
| [02:59.14] |
Sex spot's at home, I'm testosterone |
| [03:01.65] |
Caress spots, stress drops, bedrock's the bone |
| [03:04.20] |
Hit the floor, it's hot for 2003 |
| [03:06.50] |
Hit's galore, who rock a style as wild as me |
| [03:09.20] |
Rest assure, when I rock dance crowds and scream |
| [03:11.76] |
Bis-Mi-Allah A-Rahman A-Rahim it's the |
