[00:00.00]As The Rhyme Goes On (Radio Mix) - Eric B. & Rakim
[01:01.77]Knowledge will begin until I finish this song
[01:04.01]Cuz the rhyme gets rougher as the rhyme goes on
[01:06.64]You sweat as you step about to get hype
[01:09.04]Or should you just listen to the man on the mic
[01:11.85]You're physically in this with me but how could you tell
[01:14.46]If its meant to be hip-hop if you're not mentally as well
[01:17.09]Ready to absorb the rhyme that I just poured
[01:19.65]Into the mic and so unite and this won't be so bored
[01:22.23]If you just keep kickin listen - to the mix
[01:24.57]And think youll sink into the rhyme like quicksand
[01:26.81]Holds and controls you til I leave
[01:29.62]You fall deeper in the style - its hard to breathe
[01:32.49]The only time I stop is when somebody drop and then
[01:34.93]Bring em to the front cuz my rhymes the oxygen
[01:37.55]Then wave your hands - when you're ready Ill send you
[01:40.39]Into your favorite dance so let the rhyme continue
[01:42.52]And so on and ima go on simultaneously
[01:44.84]And even if I stop - the rhyme remains to be
[01:48.48]Rising to the top - and I came to drop it
[02:09.18]So just - give me a mic if its loud Ill blow it
[02:11.71]If not - into the crowd Ill throw it
[02:13.75]Pull out my cordless mic and entertain you well
[02:16.14]Before I let go ima spark your brain cells
[02:19.00]I took time to write - tonight I will recite
[02:21.35]So poetically inclined when the mic is held tight
[02:24.33]Rhymes start flowin kisses are blowin
[02:26.65]Mcs are knowin thats why theyre goin
[02:29.32]Home to tell a friend when the party ends
[02:31.62]Yo, man you know rakim? that brother struck again
[02:34.59]Cuz mic by mic and stage by stage,
[02:37.01]Tape by tape and page by page,
[02:39.57]When the crowd is moving I compete with the mix
[02:42.11]The rougher the cuts - the rougher the rhyme gets
[02:44.70]Deeper and deeper - I hope you understand it
[02:47.39]I made it up myself and I planned it
[02:49.77]For other mcs who waste time
[02:52.53]Writing jokes, riddles, and maybe a rhyme
[02:54.94]I cross my arms and I was waiting - but I was hating
[02:57.95]The rappers on the microphone was fronting - just faking
[03:00.31]They wasnt breakin, which means I was achin
[03:02.73]To get up on the microphone and then start takin
[03:05.12]Control of the mic - uptight when I grabbed it
[03:07.89]So hug the speaker- your ears a magnet
[03:10.65]Attracted to a freestyle put in effect
[03:12.90]You listen to my man while you're sippin moet
[03:15.39]So eric, pick up the needle (yeah) put it in the middle (ahhight)
[03:18.69]Give me a scratch, turn my mic up a little,
[03:21.07]I want you to hear this perfectly clear
[03:23.06]Catch what I'm sayin? you get the idea?
[03:25.77]I hope you knowledge the beginning cuz I'm finished this song
[03:28.42]The rhyme gets rougher as the rhyme flows on...
