[00:05.97]It's been a long time I shouldn't have left you
[00:09.0]Without a strong rhyme to step to
[00:10.83]Think of how many weak shows you slept through
[00:13.41]Time's up I'm sorry I kept you
[00:15.39]Thinking of this you keep repeating you miss
[00:17.61]The rhymes from the microphone soloist
[00:19.74]And you sit by the radio hand on the dial soon
[00:22.77]As you hear it pump up the volume
[00:24.72]Dance wit the speaker 'till you hear it blow
[00:26.7]Then plug in the headphone 'cause here it go
[00:29.1]It's a 4 letter word when it's heard it control
[00:31.56]Your body to dance
[00:32.85]You got it
[00:33.27]Soul
[00:33.84]Ditects the tempo like a red alert
[00:36.36]Reaches your reflex so let it work
[00:38.52]When this is playing you can't get stuck wit
[00:40.77]The steps so get set and I'm a still come up wit
[00:43.14]A gift to be swift follow the leader the rhyme will go
[00:45.54]Def wit the record that was mixed a long time ago
[00:47.76]It can be done but only I can do it
[00:49.98]For those that can dance and clap your hands to it
[00:52.5]I start to think and then I sink
[00:54.36]Into the paper like I was ink
[00:56.58]When I'm writing I'm trapped in between the lines
[00:59.04]I escape when I finish the rhyme
[01:01.29]I got soul
[01:05.94]You got it
[01:07.17]4x
[01:08.46]I know you got soul
[01:19.47]Picture a mic the stage is empty
[01:22.89]A beat like this might tempt me
[01:24.57]To pose show my rings and my fat gold chain
[01:27.3]Grab the mic like I'm on soul train
[01:28.92]But I'll wait 'cause I mastered this
[01:31.29]Let the others go first so the brothers don't miss
[01:33.72]Eric b break the sticks
[01:34.89]You got it
[01:35.91]Rakim will begin when you make the mix
[01:38.25]I'll experiment like a scientist
[01:40.5]You wanna rhyme you gotta sign my list
[01:43.05]'Cause I'm a manifest and bless the mic I hold
[01:45.09]You want it next then you gotta have soul
[01:47.729996]'Cause if you ain't got it I'm a make an encore
[01:50.4]Take the mic make the people respond for
[01:53.04]The r 'cause that's the way it'll have to be
[01:55.229996]If you wanna get on after me
[01:56.97]Think about it wait erase your rhyme
[01:59.19]Forget it and don't waste your time
[02:01.5]'Cause I'll be in the crowd if you ain't controlling it
[02:04.02]Drop the mic you shouldn't be holding it
[02:06.24]This is how it should be done
[02:08.31]This style is identical to none
[02:10.53]Some try to make it sound like this but you're getting me
[02:13.32]So upset that I'm wet 'cause you're sweating me
[02:15.45]I drip steam like a microphone fiend
[02:17.97]Eager to mc is my theme
[02:19.70999]I get hype when I hear a drum roll
[02:22.17]Rakim is on the mic and you know I got soul
[02:25.70999]You got it
[02:27.9]5x
[02:28.05]I got soul
[02:37.14]You got it
[02:43.41]That's why I came
[02:45.33]To teach those who can't say my name
[02:47.45999]First of all I'm the soloist the soul controller
[02:49.83]Rakim gets stronger as I get older
[02:52.14]Constant elevation causes expansion
[02:54.75]I write my rhyme while I cool in my mansion
[02:56.79001]Then put it on tape and in the city I test it
[02:59.4]Then on the radio the r's requested
[03:01.47]You listen to it the concept might break you
[03:04.38]'Cause almost anyone can relate to
[03:06.15]Whoever's out of hand I'm give him handles
[03:08.7]Light 'em up blow 'em out like candles
[03:11.28]Or should I just let him melt
[03:13.02]Then give him a hand so they can see how it felt
[03:15.36]I'm not bold just 'cause I rock gold
[03:17.49]Rakim is on the mic and you know I got soul
[03:23.28]You got it
[03:32.43]4x
[03:38.37]Now I'm a stop to see what you got
[03:40.95]Get off the mic before I get too hot
[03:42.66]I want to see which posse can dance the best
[03:45.48]It should be easy 'cause the beat is fresh
[03:47.49]Now if your from uptown brooklyn bound
[03:49.89]The bronx queens or long island sound
[03:52.35]Even other states come right and exact
[03:54.45]It ain't where you're from it's where you're at
[03:56.64]Since you came here you have to show and prove
[03:59.13]And do that dance until it don't move
[04:01.56]'Cause all you need is soul self esteem will release
[04:03.66]The rest is up to you rakim'll say peace
[04:20.79]You got it
[04:30.84]10x
