Testo How I Get Down ( - Rakim
Testo della canzone How I Get Down ( (Rakim), tratta dall'album The Master (Edited Version)
Before the dough came, my whole aim was blow like propane
Control the whole domain and then show no shame
Make rappers go train, they so lame, playing with no game
Put em on the low flame til they can't claim no fame
I got more range, better stay in the slow lane
I make the flow change from hurricanes to a snow rain
Your thoughts are so plain, I rearrange your whole frame
Until my whole name grow out your brain like Rogaine
Letter by letter, I put words together
Once merged, depart never, it be heard forever
And then I grab a pen and stab him in his abdomen
And smash him in, blow his mic like a javelin
And I explain verses that remain on the surface
At times it get deep but I never defeat the purpose
Never go out, the door to door route, forever hold out
And never sold out, for any amount, no doubt
That's how I get down, so tell me how you like that
I hit the town, hold it down on a tight track
I start a party, now everybody like rap
Haters are mad cause they gave the R the mic back
That's how I get down, tell me how you like that
I hit the town, hold it down on a tight track
I start a party, now everybody like rap
Haters are mad cause they gave the R the mic back
I like to hang where everything seem to happen at
It's Ra's habitat, I'm like Yasser Arafat
And yes I have a gat, snap like an Israeli
A terrorist, I never miss, blowin' up kids daily
I step to writers and let my virus hurt the closest
I'm sick as hepatitis and worse than tuberculosis
Pull out a pen like a grenade and drop it quick
I strike again and I'mma get paid, exotic shit
You know the God Ra be, hot as the Mojave
Swing like King Usabi, if possible be Kamikaze
On the corners like I'm homeless and I don't know where home is
The bonus is where the next open microphone is
Me and my team, vision like a radar screen
Intervene, ayo, cut the mic on cause Ra fiend
To show the whole world some of the things I seen
Then "Blow It Up" like Idi Amin, ya nahmean?
That's how I get down, so tell me how you like that
I hit the town, hold it down on a tight track
I start a party, now everybody like rap
Haters are mad cause they gave the R the mic back
That's how I get down, tell me how you like that
I hit the town, hold it down on a tight track
I start a party, now everybody like rap
Haters are mad cause they gave the R the mic back
I do a thing-thing, I write the songs they sing
Make sure that they swing from New York to Beijing
Put your thoughts in the swing and your brain is gangrene
Caught in a ring, repeating and saying the same thing
Xerox, zero, no match, you ditto
A copy machine couldn't reprint my little
My new style that I produce now is beyond two thou
I knew how since a juvenile to make a crew bow
When the night's falling, I can hear the mic calling
I like balling, I come back like Mike Jordan
This is for y'all while I'm spitting live and for chores
Lyrics will fall like Allen Iverson dribble the ball
They hopeless, whoever approaches my high explosives
My visions is vicious and freestyle's ferocious
I wrote this, words flew in my head like a locust
I turned the beat up, sat back and stayed focused
That's how I get down, so tell me how you like that
I hit the town, hold it down on a tight track
I start a party, now everybody like rap
Haters are mad cause they gave the R the mic back
That's how I get down, tell me how you like that
I hit the town, hold it down on a tight track
I start a party, now everybody like rap
Haters are mad cause they gave the R the mic back
