The 18th letter lyrics

Artist  : Rakim 
Song : The 18th letter
 
What, uhh, yo
Just when things seemed the same, and the whole
scene is lame
I come and reign with the unexplained for the
brains till things change
They strain to slang sling, I’m trained to bring
game
History that I arranged been regained by king
james
Go to practice, with tactics, when the track
hits, theatrics
Women that look like actress the status of
cleopatra’s
Stacks of mathematics took the ? ego-a-geatics? 
As I find out, what the facts is, for geographic
No time to sip mo’s with hostess, never mind what
the total gross is
I rip shows, stay focused, and split cheese, with
soldiers
While you hit trees and coast I spit flows that
be ferocious
And with these explosives, I split seas for
moses
Shine permanently only my mind’s concernin me
Fire burns in me eternally time’s eternity
Followers turn on me they’ll be in a mental
infirmary
Determinely advance technology better than
germany
Since the first days you know of, till the last
days is over
I was always the flow-er, I made waves for noah
From a compound, to the anatomy, to the breakdown
of a atom
Some of my rap patterns, still surround saturn
From the ancient hieroglyphics, to graffiti
painted pictures
I study I know the scriptures but nowaday ain’t
it vicious
Date back I go beyond check the holy qu’ran
To speeches at the altar on, now we get our party
on
So being benificent, I bless em with dialogue
They expectin, the next testament by the god
I blow em through battlezones with chrome for
chaperone
Blast beats with saxophones one of the baddest
rapper’s known
Every country city and borough, sidestreet and
ghetto
Isle and alley and meadow theories ferile enough
to echo
When it was one mass of land, with one nash’ of
man
And the whole mass was ran under one master plan
Since the world’s metamorphis, and the plan is
kept in orbit
Turntables we spin off but the needles never skip
off it
Rhythms we expressin similar to our ancestors
It’ll answer your questions if you understand the
message
From the days of the slave choppers? , to the new
age of prophets
As heavy as hip-hop is I’m always ready to drop
it
From the mind which is one of allah’s best
designs
And mines’ll stand the test of time, when I
rhyme

The 18th letter, the prophesy professor
I stay clever, long as the planet stay together
Bring up praise from mecca, make a phrase for the
better
In new days to remember, always and forever
(repeat 2x)
