It's Been A Long Time - Linkin Park[00:00:00]
It's been a long time[00:00:01]
It's been a long time[00:00:07]
It's been a long time[00:00:11]
It's been a long time[00:00:18]
Rakim the microphone soloist[00:00:21]
Follow procedures the crowd couldn't wait to see this[00:00:23]
Nobody been this long awaited since Jesus[00:00:26]
Who wouldn't believe this I heard the word on the street is[00:00:28]
I'm still one of the deepest on the mic since Adidas[00:00:31]
They said I changed the times from the rhymes that I thought of[00:00:34]
So I made some more to put the New World in Order[00:00:37]
With Mathematics put your status above the average[00:00:39]
And help you rappers make paragraphs with graphics[00:00:42]
Cause new days is dawning new ways of performing[00:00:45]
Brainstorming I write and watch the night turn to morning[00:00:47]
On and on and I got the whole world responding[00:00:50]
Ra I keep it hot and blow the spot without warning[00:00:53]
The Emperor well known for inventing a sentence[00:00:55]
Full of adventure turning up the temperature[00:00:59]
Rush with adrenaline how long has it been again[00:01:01]
To be in the state of mind that Rakim is in[00:01:04]
It's been a long time[00:01:06]
Rakim the microphone soloist[00:01:09]
It's been a long time[00:01:11]
It's been a long time[00:01:15]
Rakim[00:01:16]
When I'm out propping either hanging or shopping[00:01:17]
People see me stop and ask me when the album dropping[00:01:20]
The wait is over in formation like a soldier[00:01:23]
Like I told ya greater stronger now that I'm older[00:01:25]
I broke the code of silence with overloads of talents[00:01:28]
My only challenge is not to explode in violence[00:01:31]
I'm Asiatic and blazing microphones a habit[00:01:33]
At least once during the course of a day it's automatic[00:01:36]
In ghetto apparel mind of a Egyptian Pharoah[00:01:39]
Far from shallow thoughts travel like an arrow[00:01:41]
Allah's monotony so far they can't stop me[00:01:44]
You know Ra want property like Muammar Qaddafi[00:01:47]
More thoughts than Bibles recital taught disciples[00:01:49]
A sawed off mic so words scatter like a rifle[00:01:52]
Thoughts that's trifle I'm busting these for you[00:01:55]
Aiyyo technical difficulties is through[00:01:57]
It's been a long time[00:02:01]
Rakim the microphone soloist[00:02:03]
It's been a long time[00:02:05]
Rakim the microphone soloist[00:02:08]
It's been a long time[00:02:11]
Rakim the microphone soloist[00:02:14]
It's been a long time[00:02:16]
It's been a long time[00:02:19]
When I flow tonight I show them new heights I go to write[00:02:22]
They know I strike with new prototypes to blow the mic[00:02:25]
Critics and biters don't know where my source of light is[00:02:27]
Still leave authors and writers with arthritis[00:02:30]
Cursed kids like the Pyramids when they found the style[00:02:33]
First to ever let a rhyme flow down the Nile[00:02:35]
The rebirth of hip hop'll be dropped now[00:02:38]
Cause the crowd didn't hear the original in a while[00:02:41]
So be alarmed what you about to see is the bomb[00:02:44]
Like 3 D in 'Nam vivid like CD Rom[00:02:46]
Info kept like internet.com[00:02:49]
My note book's my bond like the Holy Qu'ran[00:02:52]
Since I came in the door said it before[00:02:54]
But no I ain't down with Eric B. no more[00:02:57]
At night the open mic be inviting me to rhyme[00:03:00]
So yo I'm online it's been a long time[00:03:02]
It's been a long time[00:03:05]
It's been a long time[00:03:11]
Rakim the microphone soloist[00:03:14]
It's been a long time[00:03:16]
Rakim the microphone soloist[00:03:19]
It's been a long time[00:03:21]
It's been a long time[00:03:25]
It's been a long time[00:03:43]
It's been a long time[00:03:46]
