Testo Untouchables - Eric B. & Rakim
Testo della canzone Untouchables (Eric B. & Rakim), tratta dall'album Let The Rhythm Hit 'Em
This is poetry in motion
Try to catch on, stay close to the host and
MCs try to make the road rough, but I'm coastin'
Ladies hear the rhymes, rub 'em on like lotion
Hit the spot soothin', can't stop movin'
Go 'head bust a sweat, and you can bet I'm still coolin'
When I detain it's a brainstorm
Never the same form, every brain I rained on is warm
Takin' a trip through memory lane to melodies
See if you could tell if these thoughts the fella sees
Could do you justice, but you can't touch this
Some kid just tried to bust this, but he just missed
I'm universal and much more merciful
So versatile, with the style, it's reversable
I get away, even if I say a curse or two
First, let me bust another verse for you
Your arms too short to box with Ra so quit
You don't want no kind of conflict
Or you'll get stripped as the rhyme is ripped
Pick up the pieces, now ain't that peace, yeah I'm hip
Everything I said flows since my intro
I plant a thought, extend, and then grow
Holdin' my pen tightly, it might be
Controversy at first, when I write the
Chords of research don't just take it for granted
When I'm gone my mind remains implanted
If I keep buildin', and teach the children
So when they read in between the lines, it's filled in
I break to meditate, not a peep, concentrate
'Til I'm deep awake, but not asleep
At the same time risin', and advertisin'
What is true, keep advisin' you to stay wise and
I'm untouchable
Comin' over the bridge, take a peek at the skyline
'Cause that's how I shine, not only when I rhyme
My culture's makin' me stronger, mentally
Physically I'm powerful, poetry I invent'll be
Labelled as art, placed in a museum
Style'll make scenery, now you see 'em
Exhibit a knowledge that's packed and filled wit'
Nothin' illiterate, it's facts I build wit'
My mind's untouchable which means intangible
Contents, never dense, it's understandable
I study life, so I can live it the right way
No time to hear what another brother might say
Why sell a capsule of crack, I don't have to
I rhyme and sign million dollar contracts to
Put message on records that's braced wit' hard bass
Smugglin' microphones, this ain't Scarface
Whoever talked that talk, I wanna hawk
And don't try to Escape From New York
Cross a 110th Street, lookin' for a problem
It's Hell Up In Harlem, watch Ra solve 'em
I hear the music clear, as I get near
The hundred and twenty fifth street Apollo Theater
Take a step back, when I rap, I step up to you
I'm untouchable
Put on my thinkin' cap, pump the track
Test your reflex, relax, but in contact
You fold and lose control so hold your partner closer
You're supposed to keep your composure
But you hear the drumset go, then ya gets so hype
It's like nitro, opponents get petro
Remember the trademark, left by the R that's
Never soft or smooth it's comin' off the hardest
In effect, you could detect the imposter
Takin' my props, Rakim is still proper
I'm a prophet, you can't stop it, when I drop it
Everything I say, coincide wit' the topic
Thoughts bounce around 'til my skull is fractured
Inside my brain, it's all manufactured
As we go deeper it's hard to find
Don't even think about it, 'cause you can't read my mind
It's clear so therefore you need a ear or
Inclined in the mind, with some kind of idea for
The style I'm advertisin' what is true
Keep advisin' you to stay wise and the mind
Is untouchable
