Rakim
I'm everlastin, I can go on for days and days With rhyme displays that engrave deep as X-rays I can take a phrase that's rarely heard, FLIP IT Now it's a daily word

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.

Rakim
It is what it is but I do me and I think people respect that. They see me out in the hood by myself or with wifey and I don't have no bodyguards.
Rakim
I love listening to old records to keep nostalgic feeling it allows me to not lose the love for hip-hop.
Rakim
Sometimes people say yo do you think rap changed you. No doubt it changed me. If I wasn't making records I'd still be hanging every night.
Rakim
You have to learn how to take an allowance.
Rakim
I don't work out too much and it's wild because it bugs me out.
Rakim
I always tried to manage my money smart.
Rakim
Once I finish one album I know where to begin again.
