Rakim - It's Nothing lyrics

Yeah no further due
Know who it is uh, huh

This is what it is, it's nothing (ugh)
You thought it was a wrap, it's nothing
(ghetto's across the world)
They got my phone tapped, it's nothing
(Yo', this what they want)
Because the God is back, that's something
(New York City)
This is what it is, it's nothing
(It's what they need)
You thought it was a wrap, it's nothing
(East Coast to West coast)
They got my phone tapped, it's nothing
(It's what it is)
Because the God is back, that's something
(Across sea's, world-wide, baby)

Ayo, we stuck in a time of drought
Nothing to rhyme about
Ghetto and crime, on the grind
Pulling iron out
Industry crying out, major labels buying out
Who put the fire out? Real
Hip-Hop is dying out
Sounds like the perfect time for Ra, set off
A new beginning
Let me finish where Nas left off
I went to LA to get with Dre
We tried to bridge the gap in
Take night, mix it with day
I guess it wasn't meant to happen
I move, lotta dudes hope I
Lose but it's cool, baby
I'm like Ray, I make it do what it do, baby
Bounce like medallions 'til it's
Off the chain and I remain up in the lab
'til it's engulfed in flames
Just call me too hot
Same ol' hood look like a new spot
A new block
Like Time Square 'fore the doo-wop
Without the gun on my hip I bring the new hop
For Scott La Rock, Freaky Tah
L, Biggie Smalls and 2Pac, i'm back

This is what it is, it's nothing
You thought it was a wrap, it's nothing
They got my phone tapped, it's nothing
Because the God is back, that's something
This is what it is, it's nothing
You thought it was a wrap, it's nothing
They got my phone tapped, it's nothing
Because the God is back, that's something

This is hell and hell is where the storm is
Drug sellers kill for corners
Death is here to haunt us
The president's still in office
The heaven's hear the horrors
And letters fill with warriors
Deadly weapons fell before us
The Seventh Seal's upon us
Rakim won't fear, begin to fear
The end is here, you goners
Stiff as rigor mortis
Now let 'em feel the chorus
When the God spit
I'm still a yards stick of real performance
Record deals and touring
My rep is still enormous
I hit the block or party
And mamis be watching papi
A show be smashed
Photographed by the paparazzi
My army's armed and highly
Don't bring no drama by me
It's deadly, fill your boy
With blanks, slash, kamikaze
The alpha and omega, no doubted innovator
In front of your bodega
It's the style-originator
You doubters and you haters
Ra 'bout to end your data
With writer's block, I'm off the
Top, without the pen, no paper
The archaeologist that y'all acknowledging
Then I start the apocalypse then
Watch the God demolish it i heard the news
This the dude they wanna hear from
Take it from square one
Lace up them Air One's
Then bring the new commandments
To the planets for living life in the hood
And for the music fanatics
It's for the time's beyond and
My love for writing songs
When the club mic is on, I'm
On my just to cipher, bomb, i'm back

This is what it is, it's nothing
You thought it was a wrap, it's nothing
They got my phone tapped, it's nothing
Because the God is back, that's something
This is what it is, it's nothing
You thought it was a wrap, it's nothing
They got my phone tapped, it's nothing
Because the God is back, that's something

I'm Back
