Timeless, so age don't count in the booth When your flow stay submerged in the fountain of youth
Rakim
I just try to do me and stay out of harms way.
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
A lot of the things that go on we can avoid some of it.
Rakim
Before I started rapping and touring I weighed about 160. But by going on the road every night eating fast food, performing every night, partying and drinking I started gaining weight immediately.
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
Thinkin' of a master plan Cause ain't nothin' but sweat inside my hand.
Rakim
I'm one dude and when I make my bed I lay in it but don't stereotype me. Never sold a crumb to this day and I don't do nothing on the side.
Rakim
It ain't where you're from, it's where you're at.
Rakim
Do what you do don't let the label tell you to do something else.
Rakim
I don't want to put nobody on blast but in the beginning it's like somebody telling you somebody looks like you and you've been looking in the mirror your whole life and nobody looks like you. Same thing with me.
Rakim
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
There is still consciousness in hip hop.
Rakim
I always wanted to kind of make the listener feel like it was them that I was talking about, or to the point that I could say the rhyme, and feel like it's them saying it.
Rakim
Tried to put shame in my game to make a name, I'mma put it on a bullet...put it in your brain.
Rakim
Whenever I sat down to write something it was never anything I took lightly. It was something that I'd want you, somebody in Japan, and somebody [over there to hear it].
Rakim
Dabbling in music and being in music when I was young I had my own view of what I thought music was whether it was jazz, r&b, or hip hop.
Rakim
Everything derives from the mind. From sex to the way you want people to perceive you to anything in life, it all derives from the mind. If people start realizing this and get deeper into themselves they'll realize there's nothing that they can't do.
