[Eric B. , Rakim - No Competition lyrics]
No competition
No competition
Competition is none
I remain at the top like the sun
And I burn whoever come in the
Chambers of torture I caught ya
You should have brought ya
Neighborhood to support ya
No one in my path can withstand
Under pressure the wrath of a swift man
You name the day
The grounds could be neutral
Speak your piece, the feeling's mutual
We can go topic from topic whenever I drop it
Try to stop it
In other words, what the brother heard
He tried to catch it, but what occurred
Was too much weight for one brain to take
Try to concentrate maintain then elevate
From gram to ounce from pound to pound
The matter of weight can't hold my mind down
Permanent damage, I do away with
No time for fun
Cause I don't play with competitors
It's only one when I'm done
Competition is none it's no competition
Competition is none i'm the sole survivor
Emcees get live but I get live-r
It ain't a Memorex, live in concert
In every network, the R's the expert
Whoever goes against causes friction
Ra will never die, soon they'll never try
To beat or defeat me because whenever I
Put poetry in motion
From the Nile, then out to the ocean
Three-fourths of water makes seven seas
A third of land, 360 degrees
I circulate and remain to rotate
Seven days a week at a quick or a slow rate
Be prepared whenever I come
Competition is none it's no competition
Creator, the alpha bet let's communicate
When I translate, the situation's straight
No dictionary's necessary to use
Big words do nothing but confuse and illuse
From the first step, my concept is kept
To the end of the rhyme, it get more in-depth
All thoughts I come across
My mind's the source
Made by the R, of course
Seven holes in my face as
I'm looking out my window
Speak with the beat and it
Seems like the wind blows
Through the speakers, I hear it so pump this
And we can fill up the whole circumference
With competition, on an impossible mission
Coming up with nothing, keep fishing
No runner up, just lost or forfeit's
They all get butterflies
Soon as the door gets
Unlocked, lines for blocks and blocks
Might be trifling, to call the cops
Bring along paramedics
But that won't help you
Not even calisthenics
I'm God, G is the seventh letter made
Raining on rappers, it's no parade
So if you ain't wise, then don't even come
Competition for this and the mixin is none
It's no competition competition is none!
No competition
Competition is none
I remain at the top like the sun
And I burn whoever come in the
Chambers of torture I caught ya
You should have brought ya
Neighborhood to support ya
No one in my path can withstand
Under pressure the wrath of a swift man
You name the day
The grounds could be neutral
Speak your piece, the feeling's mutual
We can go topic from topic whenever I drop it
Try to stop it
In other words, what the brother heard

Competition is none it's no competition
Competition is none i'm the sole survivor
