Even when I was out on tour I used to fly home on the weekends to be with my girl and be with my family to see my kids grow up and just be there for them. When they started going to school it was like that too whether it was homework or if I have to go up to the school I was there.

I came in the door, I said it before I never let the mic magnetize me no more. But it's biting me, fighting me, inviting me to rhyme, I can't hold it back...I'm looking for the line. Taking off my coat, clearing my throat, My rhyme will be kicking until I hit my last note.
Rakim
I don't try to go to the studio and make a single. I just do whatever I feel.
Rakim
You can look in a book of wrong and learn more right. If you're reading a book that has all wrong in it , you're learning what not to do.
Rakim
I always had an intelligence with me, I was always in the streets, I was always trying to do good. I was always looking for something to guide me. In the beginning church wasn't it.
Rakim
It's been a long time...I shouldn't have left you Without a strong rhyme to step to.
