I've always been a picky eater but I'm not the healthiest eater.
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 never tried to crossover or be in the public's eye everyday. I'm laid back with it and at times I wondered if I was doing the right thing promoting myself staying back a little bit and coming out when I felt that I had too. But when I get all the accolades and hear the things people say it just puts it all together for me man. It's a blessing.
Rakim
What I want to do right now is give hip hop back to the hood. Before it was a neighborhood thing where it belonged to the hood and the rappers were reporting and there were rules and parameters. Now it seems like the artist's game.
Rakim
When I go out I get so much love I gotta change my way of thinking.
Rakim
Things happen for a reason.

Now life is imitating art.
Rakim
You can hear the seven sins Blowin' through the ghetto wind.
Rakim
Do what you do don't let the label tell you to do something else.
Rakim
Being in this game if you are gonna sell drugs and make records too then as many records you make is gonna be as many people that know you sell drugs. We got the hip hop cops listening now.
Rakim
And I'll break, when I'm through breakin, I'll leave you broke, Drop the mic when I'm finished, and watch it smoke
Rakim
The older I get the wiser and more skillful I get.
Rakim
So I start my mission- leave my residence Thinkin how could I get some dead presidents
Rakim
Timeless, so age don't count in the booth When your flow stay submerged in the fountain of youth
Rakim
My moms is strictly Christian but once I got knowledge of self and started reading she used to love when I would sit there and tell her some of the things that I learned. It gave her an open mind to where she started believing in the most high.
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
Keep your guns on and don't let anybody tell you how to load your guns or bust ya guns.
Rakim
You have to learn how to take an allowance.
Rakim
I used to roll up: this is a hold up, ain't nuthin funny. Stop smiling, be still, don't nuthin move but the money.
Rakim
