The 18th Letter （Always And Forever） - Rakim
Written by：Isaac Hayes/Rakim/S. Phillips/William Griffin/Scott Phillips
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 till things change
They strain to slang sling
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 altar on
Now we get our party on
So being beneficent
I bless em with dialogue
They expectin the next testament by the god
I blow em through battlezones
With chrome for chaperone
Blast beats with saxophones
One of the baddest rapper's known
Every country city and borough
Sidestreet and ghetto
Isle and alley and meadow theories
Ferile 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 off but the
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 prophesy 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
The 18th letter the prophesy 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
