Rakim - It's A Must lyrics

[1st verse] If I lay low and let the day go it'll slow my payroll Aye-yo I'm a terrorize charge and slay shows Ra slay flows go as far as the Barbados On the turntable sound like tornadoes My style is performed like tropical storms Your not to get on the whole spot will get torn I keep the metropolitan hollering and bring the dollars in Keep the models following wise as King Solomon Come slow through the jungle like an animal Invade any land I go like General Hannibal From Long Island to Queens light up the New York scenes All the way to New Orleans and everything in between Left to go bless a show in Mexico Next Thing I know it's extra cold I see Eskimo's Time to rock get it hot soon as I get in there Spit in they ear so flow they froze and I disappear [Chorus x2] It's a must that I bust any mic that you hand to me It's inherited it runs in the family [2nd verse] They said I was a head of my time or either here before To see the idea clear it takes a year or more Now times that by the years I reign straight-seven No hear for four years still multiplied by eleven The silence's a set back make em regret that One way to get back is violence and wet cats But hold your head black or I'll never rap again Just when I thought I was out they pulled me back in Now that was two years ago and if cats start interfering Then I'm a go back to the gat and racketeering My sabotage is camaflouge and espionage You ain't havin Ra so don't test the god I'm takin' all orders I can't afford extorters I hit em in the head with a hundred dollars in quarters So warn a friend tell em it's on again If it's a freestyle bust in a park I want in [Chorus x2] It's a must that I bust any mic that you hand to me It's inherited it runs in the family [3rd verse] I managed to get paid for a decade now add three years on to that Perform with a knack yes I was born to rap The mic Lebanon Teflon don is back I strike with better bombs and armed to attack So reload the van go ahead let em in Every tours a war and I'm on the road again Suprise a town the place it's live and loud We vibin' now I go wild and dive in the crowd Never hit the ground they catch me and carry me around Then put me right back on stage to shut it down From New York to Cali, Japan and I-tali I'm known as the microphone Muhammad Ali I'm worldwide my brothers be biggin' me up Keep the girls occupied lovin' diggin' me what Ain't around when I come to town they mad glad Like Saddaam they even say I'm the bomb in Baghdad [Chorus x4] It's a must that I bust any mic that you hand to me It's inherited it runs in the family
