The 18th Letter (Always And Forever) - Rakim[00:00:00]
Written by:Isaac Hayes/Rakim/S. Phillips/William Griffin/Scott Phillips[00:00:00]
What uhh yo[00:00:00]
Just when things seemed the same[00:00:02]
And the whole scene is lame[00:00:04]
I come and reign with the unexplained[00:00:05]
For the brains till things change[00:00:06]
They strain to slang sling[00:00:08]
I'm trained to bring game[00:00:09]
History that I arranged been[00:00:11]
Regained by king james[00:00:13]
Go to practice with tactics[00:00:14]
When the track hits theatrics[00:00:16]
Women that look like actress[00:00:17]
The status of cleopatra's[00:00:18]
Stacks of mathematics[00:00:20]
Took the[00:00:21]
Ego a geatics[00:00:22]
As I find out what the facts is[00:00:23]
For geographic[00:00:25]
No time to sip mo's with hostess[00:00:26]
Never mind what the total gross is[00:00:28]
I rip shows stay focused[00:00:29]
And split cheese with soldiers[00:00:30]
While you hit trees and coast[00:00:32]
I spit flows that be ferocious[00:00:33]
And with these explosives[00:00:35]
I split seas for moses[00:00:36]
Shine permanently only[00:00:38]
My mind's concernin me[00:00:39]
Fire burns in me eternally time's eternity[00:00:40]
Followers turn on me[00:00:43]
They'll be in a mental infirmary[00:00:44]
Determinely advance technology[00:00:46]
Better than germany[00:00:48]
Since the first days you know of[00:00:49]
Till the last days is over[00:00:51]
I was always the flow er[00:00:52]
I made waves for noah[00:00:54]
From a compound[00:00:55]
To the anatomy[00:00:56]
To the breakdown of a atom[00:00:57]
Some of my rap patterns[00:00:58]
Still surround saturn[00:00:59]
From the ancient hieroglyphics[00:01:01]
To graffiti painted pictures[00:01:02]
I study I know the scriptures[00:01:04]
But nowaday ain't it vicious[00:01:05]
Date back I go beyond[00:01:07]
Check the Holy Qu'ran[00:01:08]
To speeches at the altar on[00:01:09]
Now we get our party on[00:01:11]
So being beneficent[00:01:13]
I bless em with dialogue[00:01:14]
They expectin the next testament by the god[00:01:16]
I blow em through battlezones[00:01:19]
With chrome for chaperone[00:01:20]
Blast beats with saxophones[00:01:21]
One of the baddest rapper's known[00:01:23]
Every country city and borough[00:01:24]
Sidestreet and ghetto[00:01:26]
Isle and alley and meadow theories[00:01:27]
Ferile enough to echo[00:01:28]
When it was one mass of land[00:01:30]
With one nash' of man[00:01:32]
And the whole mass was[00:01:33]
Ran under one master plan[00:01:34]
Since the world's metamorphis[00:01:36]
And the plan is kept in orbit[00:01:37]
Turntables we spin off but the[00:01:39]
Needles never skip off it[00:01:40]
Rhythms we expressin[00:01:42]
Similar to our ancestors[00:01:43]
It'll answer your questions if you[00:01:45]
Understand the message[00:01:47]
From the days of the slave choppers[00:01:48]
To the new age of prophets[00:01:49]
As heavy as hip hop is[00:01:51]
I'm always ready to drop it[00:01:52]
From the mind which[00:01:53]
Is one of Allah's best designs[00:01:55]
And mines'll stand the test of time[00:01:56]
When I rhyme[00:01:59]
The 18th letter the prophesy professor[00:02:00]
I stay clever long as the[00:02:03]
Planet stay together[00:02:04]
Bring up praise from mecca[00:02:05]
Make a phrase for the better[00:02:07]
In new days to remember[00:02:08]
Always and forever[00:02:10]
The 18th letter the prophesy professor[00:02:11]
I stay clever long as the[00:02:14]
Planet stay together[00:02:16]
Bring up praise from mecca[00:02:17]
Make a phrase for the better[00:02:18]
In new days to remember[00:02:20]
Always and forever[00:02:22]
The r baby[00:02:23]
