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

Rakim
When I go out I get so much love I gotta change my way of thinking.
Rakim
It ain't where you're from, it's where you're at.

Now it seems like hip hop belongs to the people you see in the videos and radios. So I want to give it bring it back to the hood, make a statement for NY to put us back in our proper perspective, and of course let them know that Ra still spits fire.
Rakim
I love to see when people are real passionate about what they feel and what they say.

Thinkin' of a master plan Cause ain't nothin' but sweat inside my hand.

Playing the sax and then enjoying jazz music man. It's like I learned how to find words inside of the beat.
