Bilingual
It's been a long time
ย
Time's up, I'm sorry I kept you
ย
Sit by the radio, hand on the dial, soon
As ya hear it, pump up the volume
ย
Dance, (you got it) soul
Detects the tempo like I'm Red Alert
And let it work
ย
Follow the leader
But only I could do it
Clap your hands to it
ย
When I'm writin', I'm trapped in-between the line
When I finish the rhyme
Soul
You got it
You got it
You got it
You got it
I know you got soul, hey
If you didn't you wouldn't be in, be in, be, be in here
Picture a mic
A beat like this might tempt me
Grab the mic like I'm on Soul Train
But I wait
Let the others go first, so the brothers don't miss
Eric B. break the sticks (you got it)
Begin, when you make the mix
ย
'Cause I'mma manifest and bless the mic I hold
You want it next? Then you gotta have soul
ย
The R
ย
Forget it
Drop the mic, you shouldn't be holdin' it
ย
Some try to make it sound like this but you're gettin' me
So upset, that I'm wet, 'cause you're sweatin' me
ย
I get hype
Soul
You got it
You got it
You got it
You got, you got, you got, you got it
I got soul, (you got it) that's why I came
To teach those, who can't say my name
Rakim gets stronger, as I get older
ย
The R
ย
Whoever's out of hand, I'mma give 'em handles
Light 'em up, blow 'em out like candles
Let 'em melt?
So they could see how it felt
Rakim is on the mic, and you know I got soul
You got, you got, you got, you got it
You got, you got, you got it
You got it
You got, you got it
Now I'mma stop, to see what you got
Get off the mic 'fore I get too hot
ย
Now if you're from Uptown, Brooklyn- bound
The Bronx, Queens, or Long Island Sound
It ain't where ya from, it's where ya at
ย
All you need is soul, self-esteem will release
The rest is up to you, Rakim'll say peace
ย
You got it
You got, you got, you got it
You got, you got, you got it
You got it
You got it
You got, you got, you got, you got, you got it
You got it
You got, you got, you got it
You got it
You got it
