Eric B. & Rakim - Let The Rhythm Hit 'Em (Album Version)(1997)

[00:09.46] Let the rhythm hit 'em
[00:18.62] I'm the arsenal, I got artillery, lyrics of ammo
[00:21.23] Rounds of rhythm, then I'm 'a give 'em piano
[00:23.45] Bring a bullet-proof vest, nothin' to ricochet
[00:25.60] Ready to aim at the brain, now, what the trigger say
[00:27.61] Tempos triflin', felt like a rifle
[00:29.84] Massage 'n' melodies, might go right through
[00:31.90] Simultaneously like an Uzi, nothin' can bruise me
[00:34.54] Lyrics let up when lady say don't lose me
[00:36.52] So re load quickly and you better hit me
[00:38.77] While I'm lettin' this Fifi get wit me, you steppin' with 007
[00:42.11] Better make it snappy, no time to do your hair, baby
[00:44.63] Brothers are bustin' at me, beats and bullets pass me
[00:46.62] None on target, they want the R hit, but watch the god get
[00:49.83] Quicker, the tongue is the trigger, 'cause I'm real fast
[00:52.21] Let off some rhythm at 'em, let 'em feel the blast
[00:54.44] Penetrate at a crazy rate, this ain't no 38
[00:56.78] Hit 'em at point blank range and watch 'em radiate
[00:58.90] Runnin' out of ammunition, I'm done wit' em
[01:01.08] You ask me how I did 'em, I let the rhythm hit 'em
[01:11.78] I push a power that's punishable, better be a prisoner
[01:14.15] The hit man is the, brother wit' charisma
[01:16.34] Showing you that I have, powerful paragraphs
[01:18.79] Followers will become leaders, but without a path
[01:20.74] Ya mentally paralyzed, crippled ya third eye
[01:23.01] Rhymes are blurred, then it occurred that you heard I
[01:25.19] Reduced the friction with crucifixion, let loose the mix then
[01:28.45] Boost the piston, Eric hit 'em with' some of that
[01:30.62] Cut like a lumberjack and me gettin' hit back
[01:32.92] It won't be none of that, I'm untouchable
[01:34.74] You see me in 3-D, when I let the rhythm hit another M.C.
[01:38.28] Lyrics made of lead, enters your head
[01:40.14] Then eruptions of a mass production
[01:42.18] Will spread when music is louder, full of gun power
[01:44.64] Microphone machinery, when I see a crowd of
[01:46.84] Party people pumpin', their fist like this
[01:48.79] Ya hide in the back, thinkin' that I might miss
[01:51.19] But the R is accurate, plus I'm packed up with
[01:53.15] Educated punch lines that, I have to hit
[01:55.74] Whatever I aim at, I line 'em up
[01:57.71] Ya body is weak, feel with pain, that time is up
[02:00.23] You been hit with somethin' different, isn't it?
[02:02.56] Rakim is gonna radiate and northin's equivalent
[02:04.75] Nothin' can harm me, why try to bar me
[02:06.85] You couldn't come around to rob with a army
[02:09.20] You'll get wrecked by the architect, so respect 'em
[02:11.46] I disconnect 'em, soon as I inject 'em with radiation
[02:15.00] Put 'em by the basement, bust his chest open
[02:17.59] Bash his face in, let it split 'im
[02:19.06] Since he brought his main man wit' 'im
[02:20.58] He ask me how I did 'im
[02:22.18] I let the rhythm hit 'im, let it hit 'im
[02:31.42] Dance floor's dangerous, packed in like a briefcase
[02:33.63] Rhythm with Aral rough rhyme, beats with deep bass
[02:35.97] Girls, with tight pants, maybe they might dance
[02:38.17] Tonight if the R's on the mike, there's a slight chance
[02:40.44] The crowd is crucial, M.C.'s grounds are neutral
[02:42.96] Now, that you're here let meduce you, get ready
[02:45.21] I'm hard read like graffiti but steady
[02:47.26] Science I drop is real heavy
[02:49.38] Radiant energy, that'll be the penalty
[02:51.46] Touch the third rail on the pain of remedy
[02:53.75] The prescription's one every hour, now it's a havoc
[02:55.73] If ya need another hit from the freestyle fanatic
[02:57.84] Attention, follow directions real close
[03:00.30] Keep out of reach of children, beware of overdose
[03:02.58] Too many milligram but what made a iller jam
[03:04.74] My rhyme is the rhythm of thoughts that kill a man
[03:07.09] I deas for the ear to fear, might split 'im
[03:09.23] He'll never forget 'im, he'll rest in peace wit' 'em
[03:11.38] At least when he left he'll know what hit 'im
[03:13.41] The last breath of the words of death, was the rhythm
[03:24.66] Now, throw you hands in the air and yo, go
[03:27.05] Rakim will do the rest of this slow
[03:29.06] If I speed they know you'll blow the hell up
[03:31.32] If I slow up, catch up, hell no
[03:33.55] Wicked as I kecked it, don't need to remix it
[03:35.63] 'Cause I prefixed it, reversed and switched it
[03:37.72] To perform to perfection, section for section
[03:40.04] Rhymes keep connectin', ya guessin' what's next an'
[03:42.00] Blood pressure rise as ya damn near lost it
[03:44.30] Hit the ground burnin' and woke up frostbitten
[03:46.61] 'Cause when I explained ya can't complain for pain
[03:48.92] Travel through the brain hit a vein
[03:50.83] Then remain, let it radiate, vibes will vibrate
[03:52.59] Why did you violate, now, I'm 'a have to let the style brak
[03:55.38] Moans now the tone is ingrown, after this here's thrown
[03:58.37] Gimme another microphone, before I get that Fifi I met
[04:01.75] Whisper I wanna reach your intellect
[04:04.20] Kiss her 'cause I wanna give her the most respect
[04:06.53] So I shine and let my light reflect
[04:08.84] Hold 'er, mold 'er, make 'er feel older
[04:10.96] Lay her on my shoulder, everything I told her
[04:13.39] Makes her feel secure whenever I'm wit' 'er
[04:15.58] And you know how I did 'er, me and the rhythm hit 'er
[04:18.40]
