Rakim - R.A.K.I.M. Lyrics
Ra! [x7]
[Chorus: x2]
[R:] Rugged and rough that's how I do it
[A:] Allah who I praise to the fullest
[M:] It's my crown, my world, my throne
[Verse 1]
Aiyyo when Rakim Allah attack, it's a wrap y'all relax
The arm in that, you show me where the party's at
Seminars and tracks, hors, comas, and cardiacs
Broads and cats screaming "Oh my God he's back"
Just imagine, I hit the lab and get it crackin'
A thousand styles in one verse, rhythms will switch patterns
Chicks get stabbed in the back, till they get spasms
Who woulda known that Jesus would come back to the ghetto
On that level, and that thorough, like a black hero
And pack metal, so rap rebels, will back pedal
The pharaoh of five boroughs, and take over the rap world
Gettin' bizarre, hardcore, this is for y'all
The crib or the park, play it when you get in the car
Chill at the bar, sip somethin' or split a cigar
Get with your dogs, don't be alarmed, this kid is the bomb
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Uh, yeah yo, I used to paint this flow, on ancient scrolls
And learn ta, make this dough, where gangstas roll
Think like the late great Capone when the bank is closed
It's cats that claim they bold, but they ain't this cold
I'm from New York City even pretty chicks act up
Niggas get clapped up, you stack up, they stick that up
Put the strap up, you think my name was "Kid back up"
Big niggas (spittin' noise) pick that up, or lift that up
Raised by gangstas and gamblers, hustlers, con artists
And convicts, killers and dons
Drug dealers, playas and pimps, smooth talkers
Stick up kids, thugs, real niggas and gods
Haunted by every soul that lay dead in the turf
Close by every spirit, that never made it to birth
Since the Moon separated from Earth
That's why they say I'm the greatest that ever orchestrated a verse
It's the
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Ay yo, we toast to that, it's the cat that broke backs
To a soul slap, a smoke a track, how dope is that
Poet for rap, wrote backs that most slack,
That know rap before they turned coke to crack
To my dogs hearin' sirens on and firearms
Outcome die in wars or behind iron bars
The boulevard, tire frauds when I evolve
Try and rob, my dialogue, I am God
Chicks moan just to get next to my throne
And sniff my cologne and get Ra alone
Sex spot's at home, I'm testosterone
Caress spots, stress drops, bedrock's the bone
Hit the floor, it's hot for 2003
Hit's galore, who rock a style as wild as me
Rest assure, when I rock dance crowds and scream
Bis-Mi-Allah A-Rahman A-Rahim it's the
[Chorus x6]

My favorite 2 movie soundtracks is 8 mile and Hustle & Flow. That's it.
LOVE it! ❤ ❤ 🔥 🔥
This album is a masterpiece
One of, if not The, best soundtracks ever
for real i forgot completely about this awesome album!
I didnt know that he is a muslim...nice
his name is rakim
Esqo Renoa 5%
He's a 5%
Rakim Allah pretty sure his name says it all
They say there is no evidence of the existence of Jesus Christ. Islam speaks more about Jesus then anybody is that not proof?
No cuz they also go by blind faith and don’t have any evidence themselves but think what u wanna think. Yes, I know I’m 8 months late.
That’s proof to you?
That’s like a dragon validating the existence of a unicorn 😂😂😂
That beat is so dope
Is that misplaced snare bothering anyone else?
vaxine19 yes me
It is anyoing but course rakim like a boss makes it flow beautifully
Not until you mentioned it damnit
Was listening 2 this before u tube
Brad James , when this came out on cd, this was on repeat for years
This is how we should remeber our dead
He's still alive...
*Keep it movin humu*
This sounds like Buddha family sound, funny wonder who drop it first
rakim is one of the goat
One and only, to the civilized.
Its too fast...
Michael Affleck hell no this is when people knew how to rap
There's an out of place snare though
@vaxine19 that snare is done on purpose but I wonder if he means if the song is sped up to avoid youtube taking it down.. but I think this is the original
@Melvin Jansen yep, this is the original for sure
Best track on 8 mile ost
Peasant 8 mile or run rabbit has is almost good as this but lose yourself thats on a new level i dont think thats ems best song for me its not even in best 10 but its one of the most entertaining song in hip hop genre
2018 $72,000 ©™
He should be famous longer, I mean like EM and 50cent.Master piece
This needs to be revived This is essential
this is how 50 Cent made I call the shots Round Here but he made it into his own verse of this song wit g unit. Classic (2002)
I heard 50's version first
The flow @0:50
When i tell people today hes in the top 5 they laugh at me.....
We laugh at them tho...they dont know greatness
