Lyrics for MY MELODY by Rakim:
| | | Artist: | Rakim |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | MY MELODY | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 120 | | | | Lyrics: | Verse One:
Turn up the bass, 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...
Verse Two:
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, and I'ma tear shit up
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 bass 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 shit
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
Verse Three:
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
Verse Four:
I'm not a regular competitor, first
rhyme editor
Melody arranger, poet, etcetera
Extra events, the grand finale like bonus
I am the man they call the microphonist
With wisdom which means wise words bein spoken
Too many at one time watch the mic start smokin
I came to express the rap I manifest
Stand in my way and I'll lead a ??? words protest
MC's that wanna be dissed they're
gonna
Be dissed if they don't get from in fronta
All they can go get is me a glass of
Moet
A hard time, sip your juice and watch a smooth poet
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...
Verse Five:
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 bass
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 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
