[00:09.81]To show our appreciation for your support
[00:10.65]Make 'em clap to this
[00:15.09]Thank you DJ's
[00:15.42]Make 'em clap to this
[00:15.84]Make 'em clap to this
[00:16.26]Make 'em clap to this
[00:16.68]Make 'em clap to this
[00:17.10]I came in the door, I said it before
[00:18.00]I never let the mic magnetize me no more
[00:29.94]But it's biting me, fighting me, inviting me to rhyme
[00:52.86]I can't hold it back I'm looking for the line
[00:53.91]Taking off my coat clearing my throat
[01:26.07]The rhyme will be kicking it until I hit my last note
[01:27.15]My mind'll range to find all kinds of ideas
[01:28.08]Self esteem makes it seem like a thought took years to build
[01:36.69]But still say a rhyme after the next one
[01:49.95]Prepared, never scared, I'll just bless one
[01:50.94]And you know that I'm the soloist
[01:53.19]So Eric B, make 'em clap to this
[01:53.85]Make 'em clap to this
[01:54.27]Make 'em clap to this
[01:54.69]Make 'em clap to this
[01:55.11]Make 'em clap to this
[01:55.53]Make 'em clap to this
[01:55.95]I don't bug out or chill or be acting ill
[01:56.70]No tricks in '86, it's time to build
[01:57.39]Eric B easy on the cut, no mistakes allowed
[01:58.26]'Cause to me, MC means move the crowd
[01:58.98]I made it easy to dance to this
[02:10.35]But can you detect what's coming next from the flex of the wrist?
[02:20.64]Saying indeed then I precede 'cause my man made a mix
[02:22.50]If he bleed he won't need no Band-Aid to fix
[02:23.55]If they can get some around until there's no rhymes left
[02:24.63]I hurry up because the cut will make 'em bleed to death
[02:25.80]He's kicking it because it ain't no half stepping
[02:26.73]The party is live, the rhyme can't be kept inside
[02:27.72]It needs erupting just like a volcano
[02:38.49]It ain't the everyday style of the same old rhyme
[02:41.37]Because I'm better than the rest of them
[02:42.39]Eric B is on the cut and my name is Rakim

[02:45.39]Make 'em clap
[02:45.66]Go get a girl and get soft and warm
[02:52.83]Don't get excited, you've been invited to a quiet storm
[02:56.82]But now it's out of hand 'cause you told me you hate me
[03:07.53]And then you ask what have I done lately
[03:08.40]First you said, "All you want is love and affection"
[03:15.09]Let me be your angel and I'll be your protection
[03:16.65]Take you out, buy you all kinds of things
[03:17.34]Make 'em clap to this
[03:17.76]You caught an attitude, you need food to eat up
[03:27.87]I'm scheming like I'm dreaming on a couch on my feet up
[03:29.01]You scream I'm lazy, you must be crazy
[03:29.97]Thought I was a donut, you tried to glaze me
[03:31.26]Make 'em clap to this

[03:50.64]If he bleed he won't need no Band-Aid to fix
[04:02.34]Eric B is on the cut and my name is Rakim, nasty
[04:03.39]Make 'em clap to this
[04:03.81]Drop your hands, drop your hands
[04:04.47]Drop your hands to what he's doin'
[04:14.43]Drop your hands to what he's doin'
[04:15.12]Drop your hands, drop your hands
[04:15.78]Drop your hands, drop your hands
[04:16.44]Drop your hands to what he's doin'
