[00:00.00]Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em - Eric B./Rakim
[00:04.15]Written by：William Griffin/Eric Barrier
[00:08.30]Let the rhythm hit 'em
[00:17.51]I'm the arsenal
[00:18.35]I got artillery lyrics of ammo
[00:20.37]Rounds of rhythm
[00:21.02]Then I'm 'a give 'em piano
[00:22.89]Bring a bullet proof vest
[00:23.75]Nothin' to ricochet
[00:24.70]Ready to aim at the brain
[00:25.70]Now what the trigger say
[00:26.81]Tempos triflin'
[00:27.50]Felt like a rifle
[00:28.85]Massage 'n' melodies
[00:30.08]Might go right through
[00:30.72]Simultaneously like an uzi
[00:32.49]Nothin' can bruise me
[00:33.54]Lyrics let up when lady say don't lose me
[00:35.42]So re load quickly
[00:36.23]And you better hit me
[00:37.56]While I'm lettin' this fifi get wit me
[00:39.84]You steppin' with 007
[00:41.21]Better make it snappy
[00:42.04]No time to do your hair baby
[00:43.16]Brothers are bustin' at me
[00:44.12]Beats and bullets pass me
[00:45.47]None on target
[00:46.42]They want the R hit
[00:47.48]But watch the God get
[00:48.68]Quicker the tongue is the trigger
[00:50.09]'Cause I'm real fast
[00:51.28]Let off some rhythm at 'em
[00:52.35]Let 'em feel the blast
[00:53.26]Penetrate at a crazy rate
[00:54.47]This ain't no 38
[00:55.61]Hit 'em at point blank range
[00:56.72]And watch 'em radiate
[00:57.74]Runnin' out of ammunition
[00:58.79]I'm done with 'em
[00:59.71]You ask me how I did 'em
[01:00.90]I let the rhythm hit 'em
[01:10.61]I push a power that's punishable
[01:11.73]Better be a prisoner
[01:12.85]The hit man is the
[01:13.78]Brother with charisma
[01:15.10]Showing you that I have
[01:16.23]Powerful paragraphs
[01:17.42]Futher is gone me
[01:18.41]But without a path
[01:19.39]Ya mentally paralyzed
[01:20.75]Crippled ya third eye
[01:21.77]Rhymes are blurred
[01:22.49]Then it occurred that you heard I
[01:23.90]Reduced the friction with crucifixion
[01:26.16]Let loose the mix then
[01:27.35]Boost the piston
[01:28.32]Eric hit 'em with' some of that
[01:29.52]Cut like a lumberjack
[01:30.61]And me gettin' hit back
[01:31.68]It won't be none of that
[01:32.51]I'm untouchable
[01:33.36]You see me in 3d
[01:35.05]When I let the rhythm hit another M C
[01:37.36]Lyrics made of lead
[01:38.41]Enters your head
[01:39.04]Then eruptions of a mass production
[01:40.93]Will spread when
[01:41.46]Music is louder
[01:42.66]Full of gunpowder
[01:43.79]Microphone machinery
[01:44.95]When I see a crowd of
[01:46.17]Party people pumpin'
[01:47.02]Their fist like this
[01:47.88]Ya hide in the back
[01:49.01]Thinkin' that I might miss
[01:50.04]But the R is accurate
[01:51.25]Plus I'm packed up with
[01:52.75]Educated punch lines that
[01:54.22]I have to hit
[01:54.84]Whatever I aim at
[01:56.15]I line 'em up
[01:57.07]Ya body is weak feel with pain
[01:58.39]That time is up
[01:59.44]You been hit with somethin'
[02:00.54]Different isn't it
[02:01.49]Rakim is gonna radiate and nothing's equivalent
[02:03.80]Nothin' can harm me
[02:04.98]Why try to bar me
[02:05.94]You'll get wrecked arm you back by the architect
[02:09.18]So respect 'em
[02:10.02]I disconnect 'em soon as I inject 'em
[02:12.26]With radiation
[02:13.79]Put 'em by the basement
[02:14.69]Bust his chest open
[02:15.86]Bash his face in
[02:16.72]Let it split I'm
[02:17.23]Since he brought his main man wit' I'm
[02:19.03]He ask me how I did I'm
[02:20.53]I let the rhythm hit I'm
[02:25.23]Let it hit I'm
[02:29.84]Dance floor's dangerous
[02:31.23]Packed in like a briefcase
[02:32.57]Rhythm with real rough rhyme
[02:33.67]Beats with deep bass
[02:34.77]Girls with tight pants
[02:35.72]Maybe they might dance
[02:36.60]Tonight if the rs on the mike
[02:38.12]There's a slight chance
[02:39.07]The crowd is crucial
[02:39.95]MC's grounds are neutral
[02:41.49]Now that you're here let me introduce you
[02:43.38]Get ready
[02:44.10]I'm hard read like graffiti but steady
[02:46.14]Science I drop is real heavy
[02:47.91]Radiant energy that'll be the penalty
[02:50.01]Touch the third rail on the pain of remedy
[02:52.25]The prescription's one every hour
[02:53.46]Now it's a havoc
[02:54.34]If ya need another hit from the freestyle fanatic
[02:56.36]Attention follow directions real close
[02:58.77]Keep out of reach of children
[03:00.14]Beware of overdose
[03:00.96]Too many milligram
[03:02.04]But what made a iller jam
[03:03.24]My rhyme is the rhythm of thoughts
[03:04.76]That kill a man
[03:05.47]I deas for the ear to fear
[03:07.02]Might split I'm
[03:07.65]He'll never forget 'Im
[03:08.64]He'll rest in peace with 'em
[03:09.91]At least when he left he'll know what hit I'm
[03:11.71]The last breath of the words of death
[03:13.76]Was the rhythm
[03:23.14]Now throw you hands in the air and yo go
[03:25.10]Rakim will do the rest of this slow
[03:27.52]If I speed they know you'll blow the hell up
[03:29.70]If I slow up catch up hell no
[03:32.03]Wicked as I kicked it
[03:33.14]Don't need to remix it
[03:34.16]'Cause I prefixed it
[03:35.11]Reversed and switched it
[03:36.16]To perform to perfection
[03:37.30]Section for section
[03:38.26]Rhymes keep connectin'
[03:39.36]Ya guessin' what's next an'
[03:40.81]Blood pressure rise as ya d**n near lost it
[03:42.69]Ya hit the ground burnin' and woke up frostbitten
[03:45.20]Travel through the brain hit a vein
[03:47.42]Then remain let it radiate
[03:49.73]Vibes will vibrate
[03:51.27]Why did you violate
[03:52.14]Now I'm 'a have to let the style brake
[03:53.92]Moans now the tone is ingrown
[03:55.61]After this here's thrown gimme another microphone
[03:58.48]Before I get that fifi I met
[04:00.53]Whisper I wanna reach your intellect
[04:02.68]Kiss her 'cause I wanna give her the most respect
[04:04.96]So I shine and let the write reflect
[04:07.20]Hold 'er mold 'er make 'er feel older
[04:09.26]Lay her on my shoulder
[04:10.53]Everything I told her
[04:11.38]Makes her feel secure whenever I'm with 'er
[04:13.64]And you know how I did 'er
[04:15.00]Me and the rhythm hit 'er
