Let the rhythm hit `em

I`m the arsenal
I got artillery lyrics of ammo
Rounds of rhythm
Then I`m `a give `em piano

Bring a bullet proof vest
Nothin` to ricochet
Ready to aim at the brain
Now what the trigger say

Tempos triflin`
Felt like a rifle
Massage `n` melodies
Might go right through

Simultaneously like an Uzi
Nothin` can bruise me
Lyrics let up when lady
Say don`t lose me

So reload quickly
And you better hit me
While I`m lettin`
This fifi get wit` me

You steppin` with 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 thirty-eight
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

Showing you that I have
Powerful paragraphs
Followers will 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
With crucifixion
Let loose the mix
Then boost the piston

Eric hit `em with` some of that
Cut like a lumberjack
And me gettin` 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 M.C.

Lyrics made of lead
Enters your head
Then eruptions of a mass production
Will spread when

Music is louder
Full of gunpowder
Microphone machinery
When I see a crowd of

Party people pumpin`
Their 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, feel with pain
That time is up

You been hit with somethin`
Different, isn`t it?
Rakim is gonna radiate
And nothing`s equivalent

Nothin` can harm me
Why try to bar me
You couldn`t come around
To rob with a army

You`ll get wrecked by the architect
So respect `em
I disconnect `em,
Soon as I inject `em

With 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 with real rough rhyme
Beats with deep bass

Girls with tight pants
Maybe they might dance
Tonight if the Rs on the mike
There`s a slight chance

The crowd is crucial
M.C.`s grounds are neutral
Now that you`re here
Let me introduce you

Get ready
I`m hard 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 havoc

If 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 rhyme 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 you hands in the air and yo, go
Rakim will do the rest of this slow
If I speed they know they`ll blow the hell up
If I slow up, catch up, hell no

Wicked as I kicked it
Don`t 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 rise as ya damn near lost it
Ya hit the ground burnin` and woke up frostbitten
`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`m `a have to let the style break
Moans now the tone is ingrown
After this here`s 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 write 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
