Rakim - How To Emcee lyrics

rate me

Look what ya'll made me do

This is your koran or bible

To be a true emcee icon or idol

The contents you put in your songs are vital

Like training for the ufc you want a title

Slam thoughts on a canvas flip em and pin em metaphors and similes and synonyms in em

Spit heat around the town the more you get it heard till you spit at 2000 miles before it hit a curve

Then float your rhymes and your rap pages word play punch lines and catch phrases

Heat spots with players and ballers new game street talk straight off the corners new slang

I got heat for crowds for those that pursuit it

Spitters I show you flow till your vocals are through it

I m showing you freestyle just focus into it

If you a gee I'll show you how to cope when you do it

Forever sick like catching aids is

In a class of greatness for magic phrases

My predicates last for pages every letter fit trend setter like fashion statements

When folks get a sign and a hope forever

I wrote some of the illest rhymes ever put to gether

Soon as I make em rappers take em analyze em for days and para phrase em

I'm back hip hoppers

I'm back to spit some documents

Raps hit the block it's a wrap it's the apocalypse

The hood give my rap flow names like nine eleven and crack cocaine

I hit the building it gets hotter in em

It's like birds most rappers don't know how to flip em

I got hip em get hop and show em how to spit em I bust a rhyme then I school em for for free I scholarship em

Chorur:song the competition know the deal your not ready now

Because your dealing with the R know how it's going down this is it kid your so sick with your skills your flow goes right in you can kill rap

It's hard since you can flip it isnt it bars it's infinite so ra deliver it far different

Hard lyric and part instruments start spitting the articulate ya'll rhythms get

Till every syllable you drop is pivotal

It's not original it's not as memorable

I'll lyrical till hes so popular they sick of you

Pandemic a threat level five it's critical

Kill em off with a word like euthanasia

Till it spread to the youth in asia

In the booth I'm major my music monumental I'm a mogul

You gonna make sence I'm gonna show you

You got to put the life in them lines make the hear sight to the make your flow tighter brighter design

So if the mic is your grind then biting s a crime especially if a ghost writers writing your rhymes.

It don matter if I ain't on the page

You gonna tell me what you want

I give it to you the way you want it show you how to flow and how to rip any phrase you you want you just keep your eye on me I show you how to emcee

If it's wack ordinary displays you want tell what you want I give it to you the way you want show you how to flow and how to rip any stage you on I can show you how to emcee like I got a degree
