Saga Begins

Ahh
 Ghetto music
 Yo
 Here we go
 And my name is Rakim
 And my name is Rakim
 And my name is Rakim
 And my name is Rakim
 And my name is Rakim, Rakim
 Yo, the saga begins, my eyes is the photography lens
 Properly push pens and show quality gems
 The horrors be grim but yo maybe tomorrow we win
 If we follow the trends and keep count of the dollars we spend
 I want a mahogany Benz, I want lottery ends
 I want property, friends, plus my hobby is skins
 If I decide we in sin, then my prophecy ends
 But the God'll begin, watchin' my odyssey spin
 In the place where war be, based on a true story
 Territory was made for me to pursue glory
 Blast alone masses in zones have to be sewn
 Every capacity blown, I'm internationally known, yo
 So all hail the honorable, microphone phenomenal
 Persona is unbombable, trust me son
 I continue like a saga do, bringin' you the drama to
 Allow you that the chronicle has just begun
 The saga begins
 The soul controller, Rakim
 Set it off, yo, the saga begins
 Still say a rhyme after the next one
 The saga begins
 The soul controller, Rakim
 Set it off, yo, the saga begins
 You know that I'm the soloist
 Yo, my never endin' epic, got the world spinnin' hectic
 I quickly spread it, till the whole city's infected
 Suspense that I supply intensify
 Then commence as my daily events go by
 You get involved in this, paragraphologist
 Narratin' novelist, market this, sound marvelous
 I'm the star in this, which means the author's authentic
 Most definite, every episode's a epidemic
 So when you research, check it, here go the evidence
 They represent with lyrical negligence for presidents
 My science existed, without the fiction
 Every inscription is a special edition
 So all hail the honorable, microphone phenomenal
 Persona is unbombable, trust me son
 I continue like a saga do, bringin' you the drama to
 Allow you that the chronicle has just begun
 The saga begins
 The soul controller, Rakim
 Set it off, yo, the saga begins
 Still say a rhyme after the next one
 The saga begins
 The soul controller, Rakim
 Set it off, yo, the saga begins
 You know that I'm the soloist
 Yo, the legacy lives, let 'em see what the pedigree is
 Mega-thesis, blessin' these kids with extra features
 The depth's deep as the deepest sea is
 Telepathy increases melody gets speakers, telekinesis
 Ideas appear as clear as pictures in movie theaters
 Lyrics you hear it, devestating the way you ear it
 So stay tuned for sequels, part two's and more
 So soon you and your peoples can bumrush the store
 The names have changed the game remain the same
 How one came to reign on his claim to fame
 No stoppin' this I'm droppin' this with hip-hop in this
 And when the topic is topicless, then I'm writin' the apocalypse
 So all hail the honorable, microphone phenomenal
 Persona is unbombable, trust me son
 I continue like a saga do, bringin' you the drama to
 Allow you that the chronicle has just begun
 The saga begins
 The soul controller, Rakim
 Set it off, yo, the saga begins
 Still say a rhyme after the next one
 The saga begins
 The soul controller, Rakim
 Set it off, yo, the saga begins
 You know that I'm the soloist
 Rakim, set it off
 Rakim, set it off
 Rakim, set it off
 You know that I'm the soloist
 Rakim, set it off
 Rakim, set it off
 Rakim, set it off
 You know that I'm the soloist
 Rakim, yo
