Rakim - Guess Who's Back lyrics

Yeah, yeah
"Once again, back is the incredible"

It's the return of the Wild Style fashionist
Smashin' hit's, make it hard to adapt to this
Put pizzazz and jazz in this
And cash in this mastered this
Flash this and make 'em clap to this
DJ's throw on cuts and obey the crowd
Just pump the volume up, and play it loud
Hip-hop's embedded
Before I said I wouldn't let it
But me and the microphone is still magnetic
Straight off the top
I knew I'd be forced to rock
Dancefloors just stop
The spot's scorchin' hot
Hopin' I'll open Rakim Allah seminars
Massage at the bar, smokin' ten dollar cigars
While I admire MIDI
With more vision than TVs


I find it easy catchin'
Diabetes from fly sweeties
Sit back and wait to hear a slammin' track
Rockin' jams, by popular demand I'm back

I control the crowd, you know Ra hold it down
When it drop
You know it's jiggy when you hear the sound
From town to town, until it's world-renowned
And I rock New York City all year around

It's on
So you can swerve when it's heard in clubs
Thought patterns displayed on Persian rugs
Equations are drawn up in paisley form
Mic, it stay warm, my flow is Evian
Deep as a Nautilus
You stay dipped in Ra's style
From the shores of Long
Island to Panama Canal
Intellect pitches new trends like
A clothes designer i'm in effect
Quicker than medicines in China
Split the mic open
Fill it with somethin' potent to go in
And take a toke then
Mental planes start floatin'
Hot science is smokin'
Altitudes cause chokin' product is hypnotic
You're soakin' and still smokin'
Showin' better scenes than
Grams of amphetamines
Plans to scheme, means I'll forever fiend
Long as the mic is loud
And the volume's pumpin'
I'mma move crowds to
Two-thousand and somethin'

I control the crowd, you know Ra hold it down
When it drop
You know it's jiggy when you hear the sound
From town to town, until it's world-renowned
And I rock New York City all year around

My rhymes and lyrics find
Spirit's like a seance
Since fat crayons, I write and display chaos
My plan is damage
The diagram to where the jam is
I take advantage until the crowd go bananas
What a rush! I hear cuts
Then I lust to touch
Microphones get clutched by the illustrious
Word spread
I inherited many ways to say the unsaid
Born with three 7's in my head in time
No one can seem to blow your
Mind as far as this to find
You'll need philosophers and anthropologists
Astrologists, professors from your
Smartest colleges
With knowledge of scholarships
When Ra be droppin' this
Some of the things that I know
Will be in your next bible when I die
Go bury me and my notebook in Cairo
With the great God from Egypt, manifest
Was writin' rhymes align with the stars
I come back to bless the mic

I control the crowd, you know Ra hold it down
When it drop
You know it's jiggy when you hear the sound
From town to town, until it's world-renowned
And I rock New York City all year around

I control the crowd, you know Ra hold it down
When it drop
You know it's jiggy when you hear the sound
From town to town, until it's world-renowned
And I rock New York City all year around

Once again, back is the incredible word up
