Let The Rhythm Hit 'Em

Let the rhythm hit 'em

I'm the arsenal, I got artillery, lyrics of ammo

Rounds of rhythm, then I'mma give 'em piano

Bring a bullet-proof vest, nothin' to ricochet

Ready, aim at the brain, now what the trigger say

Tempos trifle, felt like a rifle

Massage 'n' melodies, might go right through

Simultaneously, like a uzi, nothin' could bruise me

Lyrics let up when ladies say don't lose me

So reload quickly, and you better hit me

While I'm lettin' this Fifi get wit' me

They're steppin' wit' 007, better make it snappy

No time to do your hair baby, brothers are bustin' at me

Beats and bullets pass me, none on target

They want the R hit, but watch the god get

Quicker, the tongue is the trigger, 'cause I'm real fast

Let off some rhythm at 'em, let 'em feel the blast

Penetrate at a crazy rate, this ain't a .38

Hit 'em at point blank range and watch 'em radiate

Runnin' out of ammunition, I'm done wit' em

You ask me how I did 'em, I let the rhythm hit 'em

I push a power that's punishable, better be a prisoner

The hit man is the, brother wit' charisma

Showin' you that I have, powerful paragraphs

Followers become leaders, but without a path

Ya mentally paralyzed, crippled ya third eye

Rhymes are blurred, then it occurred, that you heard I

Reduced the friction, wit' crucifixion

Let loose the mix then, boost the piston

Eric hit 'em with' some of that, cut like a lumberjack

And me get hit back, it won't be none of that

I'm untouchable, you see me in 3-D

When I let the rhythm hit another emcee

Lyrics made of lead, enters your head

Then eruption of a mass production'll spread

When music gets louder, full of gun power

Microphone machinery, when I see a crowd of

Party people pumpin' they fist like this

Ya hide in the back, thinkin' that I might miss

But the R is accurate, plus I'm packed up with

Educated punch lines, that I have to hit

Whatever I aim at, I line 'em up

Ya body is weak, ya feel the pain that, time is up

You been hit with somethin' different, isn't it?

Rakim is gonna radiate, nothin's equivalent

Nothin' can harm me, why try to bar me

You couldn't —ck around with Ra wit' a army

You'll get wrecked by the architect, so respect 'em

I disconnect 'em, soon as I inject 'em

Wit' radiation, put 'em by the basement

Bust his chest open, bash his face in

Let it split 'em, since he brought his main man wit' 'em

He ask me how I did 'em, I let the rhythm hit 'em

Let it hit 'em

Dance floor's dangerous, packed in like a briefcase

Rhythm wit' real rough rhyme, beats with deep bass

Girls, wit' tight pants, maybe they might dance

Tonight if the R's on the mic, there's a slight chance

The crowd is crucial, emcees grounds are neutral

Now that you're here, let me introduce you

Get ready, I'm hard to read like graffiti, but steady

Science I drop is real heavy

Radiant energy, that'll be the penalty

Touch the third rail on the pain of remedy

The prescription's one every hour, now it's a habit

Ya need another hit from the freestyle fanatic

Attention, follow directions, real close

Keep out of reach of children, beware of overdose

Too many milligram, but what made a iller jam

My rhymes is the rhythm of thoughts that kill a man

Ideas for the ear to fear, might split 'em

He'll never forget 'em, he'll rest in peace wit' 'em

At least when he left he'll know what hit 'em

The last breath of the words of death, was the rhythm

Now throw ya hands in the air and yell go

Rakim'll do the rest of this slow

If I speed they know they'll blow the hell up

If I slow up, they'll catch up, hell no

Wicked as I kicked it, no need to remix it

'Cause I prefixed it, reversed and switched it

Perform to perfection, section for section

Rhymes keep connectin', ya guessin' what's next an'

Blood pressure rises, ya damn near lost it

Hit the ground burnin' and woke up frostbit

'Cause when I explained ya can't complain for pain

Travel through the brain hit a vein, then remain

Let it radiate, vibes will vibrate, why did you violate?

Now, I'mma have to let the style break

Bones, now the tone is ingrown

After this gets thrown, gimme another microphone

Before I get that Fifi I met

Whisper I wanna reach your intellect

Kiss her, 'cause I wanna give her the most respect

So I shine, and let my light reflect

Hold 'er, mold 'er, make 'er feel older

Lay her on my shoulder, everything I told her

Makes her feel secure whenever I'm wit' 'er

And you know how I did 'er, me and the rhythm hit 'er
