Lyrics

Yeah, yeah
(Once again back is the incredible)
It's the return of the wild style fashionist
Smashing hits
Make it hard to adapt to this
Put pizazz and jazz in this
And cash in this
Mastered this
Flash this and make 'em clap to this
DJ's throw on cuts and obey the crowd
Just pump the volume up
And play it loud
Hip-Hop's embedded
Before I said I wouldn't let it
But me and the microphone is still magnetic
Straight off the top
I knew I'd be forced to rock
Dance floors just stop
The spot's scorching hot
Hoping I open Rakim Allah seminars
Massage at the bar smoking ten dollar cigars
While I admire Midas
With more vision than TV's
I find it easy
Catching diabetes from fly sweeties
Sit back and wait to hear a slamming track
Rocking jams by popular demand
I'm back
I control the crowd
You know I hold it down
When it drop you know it's jiggy
When you hear the sound
From town to town
Until it's world renowned
And I rock New York City all year around
Check it out
It's on so you can swerve
When it's heard in clubs
Thought patterns displayed
On Persian rugs
Equations are drawn up in paisley form
Mic it stay warm
My flow is evian
Deep as a Nautilus
You stay dipped in raw style
From the shores of Long Island
To Panama Canal
Intellect pitches
New trends like a clothes designer
I'm in effect
Quicker than medicines in China
Split the mic open
Fill it with something potent to go in
And take a toke then
Mental planes start floating
Hot science is smoking
Altitudes cause choking
Product is hypnotic
You're soaking and still smoking
Showing better scenes
Than grams of amphetamines
Plans to scheme
Means I'll forever fiend
Long as the mic is loud and the volume is pumping
I'ma move crowds to 2000
I control the crowd
You know I hold it down
When it drop you know it's jiggy
When you hear the sound
From town to town
Until it's world renowned
And I rock New York City all year around
Yo, my rhymes and lyrics
Find spirits like a seance
Since fat cray-ons
I write and display chaos
My plan is damage
The diagram to where the jam
I take advantage
Until the crowd go bananas
What a rush I hear cuts
Then I lust to touch
Microphones get clutched
By the illustrious
Word spread I inherited
Many ways to say the unsaid
Born with three 7's in my head
In time no one can seem
To blow your mind as far as this
To find you'll need philosophers and anthropologists
Astrologists
Professors from your smartest colleges
With knowledge of scholarships
When Ra be dropping this
Some of the things I know
Will be in your next Bible
When I die go bury me and my notebook in Cairo
With the great God from Egypt
Manifest was write rhymes
Align with the stars
I come back to bless the mic
I control the crowd
You know I hold it down
When it drop you know it's jiggy
When you hear the sound
From town to town
Until it's world renowned
And I rock New York City all year around
I control the crowd
You know I hold it down
When it drop you know it's jiggy
When you hear the sound
From town to town
Until it's world renowned
And I rock New York City all year around
Once again
Rakim Allah the microphone fiend is back
Ya know what I mean
'Til death do us part
It's on
Rakim Allah
(Once again back is the incredible)
R-R-Rakim Allah
(Once again back is the incredible)
Raki-Raki-Rakim Allah
(Once again back is the incredible)
Rakim Allah
(Once again back is the incredible)
Rakim Allah
(Once again back is the incredible)
Rakim Allah
(Once again back is the incredible)
Rakim Allah
(Once again back is the incredible)
Rakim Allah
(Once again back is the incredible)
Rakim Allah
(Once again back is the incredible)
(The incredible)
(The incredible)
(The incredible)
(Once again back is the incredible)
(I'm animal)
(The unfathomable)
