Grand Theft Auto San Andreas movie - I Know You Got Soul lyrics

rate me

Song by Eric B & Rakim<br /><br>

It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you<br>

Without a strong rhyme to step to<br>

Think of how many weak shows you slept through<br>

Time's up, I'm sorry I kept you<br>

Thinking of this, you keep repeating you miss<br>

The rhymes from the microphone soloist<br>

And you sit by the radio, hand on the dial, soon<br>

As you hear it, pump up the volume<br>

Dance wit the speaker 'till you hear it blow,<br>

Then plug in the headphone 'cause here it go<br>

It's a 4 letter word when it's heard, it control<br>

your body to dance (You got it) soul,<br>

Ditects the tempo like a red alert<br>

Reaches your reflex, so let it work<br>

When this is playing, you can't get stuck wit<br>

The steps, so get set and I'm a still come up wit<br>

A gift to be swift, follow the leader, the rhyme will go<br>

Def wit the record that was mixed a long time ago<br>

It can be done but only I can do it<br>

For those that can dance and clap your hands to it<br>

I start to think and then I sink<br>

Into the paper like I was ink<br>

When I'm writing, I'm trapped in between the lines,<br>

I escape when I finish the rhyme...<br>

I got soul<br>

<br>

You got it (4x)<br>

I know you got soul<br>

<br>

Picture a mic, the stage is empty<br>

A beat like this might tempt me<br>

To pose, show my rings and my fat gold chain<br>

Grab the mic like I'm on Soul Train<br>

But I'll wait 'cause I mastered this<br>

Let the others go first so the brothers don't miss<br>

Eric B. break the sticks (you got it)<br>

Rakim will begin when you make the mix<br>

I'll experiment like a scientist<br>

You wanna rhyme, you gotta sign my list<br>

'Cause I'm a manifest and bless the mic I hold<br>

You want it next? then you gotta have soul<br>

'Cause if you ain't got it, I'm a make an encore<br>

Take the mic, make the people respond for<br>

The R, 'cause that's the way it'll have to be<br>

If you wanna get on after me<br>

Think about it, wait, erase your rhyme<br>

<br>

Forget it and don't waste your time<br>

'Cause I'll be in the crowd if you ain't controlling it<br>

Drop the mic, you shouldn't be holding it<br>

This is how it should be done<br>

This style is identical to none<br>

Some try to make it sound like this but you're getting me<br>

So upset that I'm wet 'cause you're sweating me<br>

I drip steam like a microphone fiend<br>

Eager to MC is my theme<br>

I get hype when I hear a drum roll<br>

Rakim is on the mic and you know I got soul<br>

<br>

You got it (5x)<br>

<br>

I got soul (you got it) that's why I came<br>

To teach those who can't say my name<br>

First of all, I'm the soloist, the soul controller<br>

Rakim gets stronger as I get older<br>

Constant elevation causes expansion<br>

I write my rhyme while I cool in my mansion<br>

Then put it on tape and in the city I test it<br>

Then on the radio the R's requested<br>

You listen to it, the concept might break you<br>

'Cause almost anyone can relate to...<br>

Whoever's out of hand, I'm give him handles<br>

Light 'em up, blow 'em out like candles<br>

Or should I just let him melt?<br>

Then give him a hand so they can see how it felt<br>

I'm not bold just cuz I rock gold<br>

Rakim is on the mic and you know I got soul<br>

<br>

You got it (4x)<br>

<br>

Now I'm a stop to see what you got<br>

Get off the mic before I get too hot<br>

I want to see which posse can dance the best<br>

It should be easy 'cause the beat is fresh<br>

Now if your from Uptown, Brooklyn- bound,<br>

The Bronx, Queens, or Long Island Sound,<br>

Even other states come right and exact,<br>

It ain't where you're from, it's where you're at<br>

Since you came here, you have to show and prove<br>

And do that dance until it don't move<br>

'Cause all you need is soul self-esteem will release,<br>

The rest is up to you, Rakim 'll say peace<br>

<br>

You got it (10x)<br>

<br>
