Encore - Waterworld lyrics

[Rakim] "For those that know me..." "For those that know me..." "For those that know me..." "For those that know me, indeed I like to flow" [Encore] Authentically raw wit it, see I augmented this industry To submit to my will, all attempts to limit me Can kneel, peel caps wit ill raps Nothing convenes here till your camp gets smeared like pap What you tryin to tell me, sk**s never found me Workin for peanuts amongst jelly MC's, really ain't my steez Peep game I plot on different ways to make these styles ricochet through main frames The day-to-day theme is turn these fake teams gangreen My main vein's the only thing about me mainstream You doubt me like the foes of Noah, embarkin in this Ark, the soul controller While fools caught up in this Del used to blow up You're inundating wit the out-dated See all of y'all fall when this cascade hits Yo D, watch these watered-down clowns get drowned And lounge sound broken down in Cuba Tryin to build ships off sh** they bit I spit that major play saliva, taylor-made for cypher sole survivor Pay the piper if you plan to go inside my covenant Better come in two's, matta fact come a crew to get you back Executives, we wet you wit the hymns that leave you and your man Packin, attackin wit verbal cataclysms Leavin the average rapper drenched and grab a trench Guard against my El Nino lingo A labyrinth of keen flows, concealed within the single This is Waterworld "For those that know me, indeed I like to flow" Waterworld "For those that know me, indeed I like to flow" This is Waterworld "For those that know me, indeed I like to flow" Waterworld "For those that know me, indeed I like to flow" [Encore] My scripts consist of H20, Hip Hop and Oxygen I flip commission doctrines that make me Shake-Speare's pier Upon this here tear I fear not k**in furious wit the superior onslaught On top of this isle solo, like Giligan wit a million styles To throw yo' way wit capital A We make waves, causin tsunamis to your armies Splashin like the cracken on Clash of the Titans, writin calmly Call me Aquarius, each full page a new age I'm on a crusade to ranter your parade See 'Core is more than three-quarters of what this rap world secure So this is Chinese Water Torture for MC's to endure As I restore this reservoir wit my repetoire of metaphors Step into the 'Core, better have your life insured For supernatural disasters, I'm quick to cast a flame to your astral plane It's b**h-made, get played like Conasta Waterworld "For those that know me, indeed I like to flow" This is Waterworld "For those that know me, indeed I like to flow" Waterworld "For those that know me, indeed I like to flow" This is Waterworld "For those that know me..." [Encore] What's an MC without concepts, I speak easy comin to offset your plumbing Like leaky faucets, runnin my dungeon wit aquatic contraptions The fifth fold's a fish bowl, kick hard as contractions Wit skitzo-memos closed-captioned Your lip's sewed cuz hardest to your fraction try to test me You wouldn't tip-toe through Moses parted Red Sea It's bound to collapse So now what makes you think the sound of these raps Is something different, I'm even pitchin the kitchen sink wit comin with it Liquefied rhymes rhyme wax It's time for jack-fakers to vacate, they take up space like the Great Lakes Makin a great case for me to hate Paint a picture clear as Evian, raps on tap like Savion Glover Undercover, peeps wonder, why he became the arcitecht cuz none love us We spark the sh** that makes the blood cometh Wash away your blockade plus your brigade Tryin to sandbag clever words together The weather, the storm, p**n's poured on ca**ette wit Architecht sweat In the cores of us form when he pa** Tech-12's I delve deep in this abyss, inspect hell Tell a fallen ang-el to eat a dick if he gets pissed cuz this is Waterworld "For those that know me, indeed I like to flow" Waterworld "For those that know me, indeed I like to flow" This is Waterworld "For those that know me, indeed I like to flow" Waterworld "For those that know me, indeed I like to flow" "Flow" *echoes*
