Текст (слова) песни: Rakim - The 18th Letter (Always and Forever)

 
What, uhh, yo 
Just when things seemed the same, and the whole scene is lame 
I come and reign with the unexplained for the brains `til things change 
They strain to sling slang, I`m trained to bring game 
History that I arranged been regained by King James 
Go to practice, with tactics, when the track hits, theatrics 
Women that look like actress the status of Cleopatra`s 
Stacks of mathematics took the ?ego-a-geatics? 
As I find out, what the facts is, for geographic 
No time to sip Mo`s with hostess, never mind what the total gross is 
I rip shows, stay focused, and split cheese, with soldiers 
While you hit trees and coast I spit flows that be ferocious 
And with these explosives, I split seas for Moses 
Shine permanently only my mind`s concernin me 
Fire burns in me eternally time`s eternity 
Followers turn on me they`ll be in a mental infirmary 
Determinely advance technology better than Germany 
Since the first days you know of, till the last days is over 
I was always the flow-er, I made waves for Noah 
From a compound, to the anatomy, to the breakdown of a atom 
Some of my rap patterns, still surround Saturn 
From the ancient hieroglyphics, to graffiti painted pictures 
I study I know the scriptures but nowaday ain`t it vicious 
Date back I go beyond, check the holy Qu`ran 
To speeches at the autobahn, now we get our party on 
So being benificent, I bless em with dialogue 
They expectin the next testament, by the God 
I roam through battlezones with chrome for chaperone 
Blast beat with saxophones one of the baddest rappers known 
Every country city and borough, sidestreet and ghetto 
Isle and alley and meadow, theories thorough enough to echo 
When it was one mass of land, with one nash` of man 
And the whole mass was ran under one master plan 
Since the world`s metamorphis, and the plan is kept in orbit 
Turntables we spin awkward but needles never skip off it 
Rhythms we expressin similar to our ancestors 
It`ll answer your questions if you understand the message 
From the days of the slave choppers, to the new age of prophets 
As heavy as hip-hop is I`m always ready to drop it 
From the mind which is one of Allah`s best designs 
And mines`ll stand the test of time, when I rhyme 
 
 The 18th Letter, the prophecy professor 
 I stay clever, long as the planet stay together 
 Bring up praise from Mecca, make a phrase for the better 
 In new days to remember, always and forever 
 (repeat 2X) 
 
The R baby
