This is poetry in motion
Try to catch on, stay close to the hostand MC's try to make the road rough but I'm coastin
Ladies hear the rhymes rub em on like lotion
Hit spots soothin, can't stop movin
Go ahead bust a sweat and you can bet I'm still coolin
When I detain it's a brainstormnever the same form, every brain I rained on is warm
Takin a trip through Memory Lane to MelodySee if you could tell if these thoughts to fell MC'scould do you justice, but you can't touch this
Some kid just tried to bust this but he just missedI'm universal and much more merciful
So versatile with the style it's reversable
I get away even if I say a curse or two
First, let me bust another verse for you
Your arms too short to box with Ra so quit
You don't want no kind of conflict
Or you'll get stripped as the rhyme is ripped
Pick up the pieces now ain't that peace yeah I'm hip
Everything I said flows since my intro
I plant a thought extend and then grow
Holdin my pen tightly it might be
Controversy at first when I write thechords of research don't just take it for granted
When I'm gone my mind remains a planet
If I keep buildin, and teach the children
So when they read in between the lines it's filled in
I break to meditate, not a peep, concentratetill I'm deep awake, but not asleep
At the same time risin and advertisinwhat is true, keep advised and you can stay wiseand I'm untouchable
Comin over the bridge take a peak at the skyline
Cause that's how I shine not only when I rhyme
My culture's makin me stronger, mentally
Physically I'm powerful poetry now that could belabelled as art placed in a museumStyle'll make scenery, now you see 'emExhibit a knowledge that's packed and filled withnothin illiterate it's facts I build with
My mind's untouchable which means intangible
Contents never dense it's understandable
I study life so I can live it the right way
No time to hear what another brother might say
Why sell a capsule of crack I don't have to
I rhyme and sign million dollar contracts toput message on records that's graced with hard bass
Smugglin microphones, this ain't ScarfaceWhoever talked that talk, I wanna hawk
And don't try to Escape From New YorkCross a 110th Street lookin for a problemIt's Hell Up In Harlem, watch Ra solve em
I hear the music clear as I get nearthe hundred and twenty fifth street Apollo TheaterTake a step back when I rap I step up to you...I'm untouchable
Put on my thinking cap pump the track
Test your reflex relax but in contactyou fold and lose control so hold your partner closeryou're supposed to keep your composure
But you hear the drum said go then it gets so hypeit's like nitro opponents get petro
Remember the trademark left by the Rthat's never soft or smooth it's comin off the hardestin effect, you could die-tect the imposter
Takin my props, Rakim is still properI'm a prophet, you can't stop it, when I drop it
Everything I say, coincide with the topic
Thoughts bounce around till my skull is fractured
Inside my brain it's all manufactured
As we go deeper it's hard to findDon't even think about it, cause you can't read my mindIt's clear so therefore you need a ear or inclinedin the mind with some kind of idea forthe style I'm advertisin what is true
Keep advised that you stay wise and the mindis untouchable
