It's Nothing

Yeah
 No further due
 Know who it is
 Uh huh
 (Rakim)
 This is what it is, it's nothing, (ugh)
 You thought it was a wrap, it's nothing (ghetto's across the world)
 They got my phone tapped, it's nothing (Yo', this what they want)
 Because the God is back, that's something (New York City)
 This is what it is, it's nothing, (It's what they need)
 You thought it was a wrap, it's nothing (East Coast to West coast)
 They got my phone tapped, it's nothing (It's what it is)
 Because the God is back, that's something (Across sea's, world-wide, baby)
 Ayo, we.
 Stuck in a time of drought, nothing to rhyme about
 Ghetto and crime, on the grind, pulling iron out
 Industry crying out, major labels buying out
 Who put the fire out? Real Hip-Hop is dying out
 Sounds like the perfect time for Ra, set off
 A new beginning, let me finish where Nas left off
 I went to LA to get with Dre, we tried to bridge the gap in
 Take night, mix it with day, I guess it wasn't meant to happen
 I move, lotta dudes hope I lose but its cool, baby
 I'm like Ray, I make it do what it do, baby
 Bounce like medallions 'til it's off the chain
 And I remain up in the lab 'til it's engulfed in flames
 Just call me too hot, same ol' hood look like a new spot
 A new block, like Time Square 'fore the doo-wop
 Without the gun on my Hip I bring the new Hop
 For Scott La Rock, Freaky Tah, L, Biggie Smalls and 2Pac, I'm back
 This is what it is, it's nothing
 You thought it was a wrap, it's nothing
 They got my phone tapped, it's nothing
 Because the God is back, that's something
 This is what it is, it's nothing
 You thought it was a wrap, it's nothing
 They got my phone tapped, it's nothing
 Because the God is back, that's something
 This is hell and hell is where the storm is, drug sellers kill for corners
 Death is here to haunt us, the president's still in office
 The heaven's hear the horrors, and letters fill with warriors
 Deadly weapons fell before us, the Seventh Seal's upon us
 Rakim won't fear, begin to fear, the end is here, you goners
 Stiff as rigormortis, now let 'em feel the When the God spit, I'm still a yards stick of real performance
 Record deals and touring, my repp is still enormous
 I hit the block or party and mami's be watching papi
 A show be smashed, photographed by the paparazzi
 My army's armed and highly, don't bring no drama by me
 It's deadly, fill your boy with blanks, slash, kamikaze
 The alpha and omega, no doubted innovator
 In front of your bodega, it's the style-originator
 You doubters and you haters, Ra 'bout to end your data
 With Writer's Block, I'm off the top, without the pen, no paper
 The archeologist that y'all acknowledging
 Then I start the apocalypse then watch the God demolish it
 I heard the news, this the dude they wanna hear from
 Take it from square one, lace up them Air One's
 Then bring the new commandments to the planets
 For living life in the hood and for the music fanatics
 It's for the time's beyond and my love for writing songs
 When the club mic is on, I'm on my just to cipher, bomb, I'm back
 This is what it is, it's nothing
 You thought it was a wrap, it's nothing
 They got my phone tapped, it's nothing
 Because the God is back, that's something
 This is what it is, it's nothing
 You thought it was a wrap, it's nothing
 They got my phone tapped, it's nothing
 Because the God is back, that's something
 I'm Back.
