Rakim - Outro (The 18th Letter ) lyrics

What is, the one, main thing that you have
That you would want people
To remember you by? Or not one but the
Those things that are dear to you
That you would, want to be remembered as

I guess I guess it's my words man
Yaknahmean? Just my words, and
If people remember my words
They'll remember me forever
Y'know? God by nature mind raised in Asia
Y'know? But umm it's like y'know to live
Forever you you you gotta
Set y'know, not not set trends but you gotta
Apply yourself a certain way and you
Gotta do certain things y'know?
Maybe, maybe when I'm gone
Twenty years from now
Somebody might be tellin
Tellin they little son
"Oh yo you think Shorty bad? Yo
I 'member this cat way back
In like nineteen-ninety kid named Rakim
Bananas"
YouknowhatI'msayin? If that can happen
Man, I'm aight man, y'know?
I got I got I got
Kids y'know? They gonna umm, finish this for
Me anyway yknahmsayin so regardless
Y'know the legacy lives
But umm as far as the
Masses just remember my words straight up
