got soul (you got it) that's why I came\n[02:47.92] To teach those who can't say my name\n[02:50.00] First of all, I'm the soloist, the soul controller\n[02:52.23] Rakim gets stronger as I get older\n[02:54.75] Constant elevation causes expansion\n[02:57.00] I write my rhyme while I cool in my mansion\n[02:59.22] Then put it on tape and in the city I test it\n[03:01.72] Then on the radio the R's requested\n[03:03.85] You listen to it, the concept might break you\n[03:06.12] 'Cause almost anyone can relate to...\n[03:08.66] Whoever's out of hand, I'm give him handles\n[03:11.00] Light 'em up, blow 'em out like candles\n[03:13.49] Or should I just let him melt?\n[03:15.55] Then give him a hand so they can see how it felt\n[03:17.68] I'm not bold just cuz I rock gold\n[03:20.39] Rakim is on the mic and you know I got soul, soul, soul\n[03:25.85] You got it\n[03:41.64] Now I'm a stop to see what you got\n[03:43.34] Get off the mic before I get too hot\n[03:45.44] I want to see which posse can dance the best\n[03:47.74] It should be easy 'cause the beat is fresh\n[03:49.88] Now if your from Uptown, Brooklyn- bound,\n[03:52.64] The Bronx, Queens, or Long Island Sound,\n[03:54.81] Even other states come right and exact,\n[03:57.07] It ain't where you're from, it's where you're at\n[03:59.42] Since you came here, you have to show and prove\n[04:01.42] And do that dance until it don't move\n[04:03.84] 'Cause all you need is soul self-esteem will release,\n[04:06.26] The rest is up to you, Rakim 'll say peace\n[04:09.57] You got it\n[04:11.79]
