Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em (12" Vocal Version Remix)

Let the rhythm hit 'em

Let the rhythm hit 'em

(Hit 'em, hit 'em) Let the rhythm hit 'em

(Hit 'em, hit 'em) Let the rhythm hit 'em

(Hit 'em, hit 'em) Let the rhythm hit 'em

I'm the arsenal, I got artillery, lyrics are ammo

Rounds are rhythm, then I'ma give 'em piano

Bring a bulletproof best, nothin' to ricochet

Ready to aim at the brain, now what the trigger say?

Tempo's trifle, felt like a rifle

Massagin' melodies, might go right through

Simultaneously like an uzi, nothin' can bruise me

Lyrics light up when ladies say, "Don't lose me"

So reload quickly, and you'd better hit me

While I'm letting this fi-fi get with me

You're steppin' with 007, better make it snappy

No time to do your hair, baby, brothers is bustin' at me

Police and bullets pass me, aren't on target

They want the R hit, but watch the God get

Quicker, the tongue is the trigger, 'cause I'm real fast

Let off some rhythm at 'em, let 'em feel the blast

Penetrate at a crazy rate, this ain't a .38

Hit 'em at point blank range and watch 'em radiate

Runnin' out of ammunition, I'm done with 'em

You ask me how I did 'em? I let the rhythm hit 'em

(Hit 'em, hit 'em) Let the rhythm hit 'em

(Hit 'em, hit 'em) Let the rhythm hit 'em

(Hit 'em, hit 'em) Let the rhythm hit 'em

I'm pushin' power that's punishable, prepare to be a prisoner

The hit man is the brother with charisma

Showing you that I have powerful paragraphs

Followers become leaders but without a path

You're mentally paralyzed, crippled your third eye

Rhymes are blurred, then it occurred that you heard

I reduced the friction with crucifixion

Let loose the mix, then boost the piston

Eric, hit 'em with some of that, cut like a lumberjack

And me gettin' hit back, it won't be none of that

I'm untouchable, you see me in 3D

When I let the rhythm hit another MC

Lyrics made of lead enters your head

Then eruption of a mass production will spread

When music is louder, full of gunpowder

Microphone machinery when I see a crowd of

Party people pumpin' they fists like this

You hide in the back, thinkin' that I might miss, but

The R is accurate, plus, I packed the wit

Educated punch lines that I have to hit

Whatever I aim at, I line 'em up

Your body is weak, feel the pain, that time is up

You been hit with something different, isn't it?

Rakim is gonna radiate, nothin's equivalent

Nothin' can harm me, why try and bar me?

You couldn't fuck around with R with an army

You'd get wrecked by the architect, so respect him

I disconnect 'em soon as I inject 'em with radiation

Put 'em by the basement

Bust his chest open, bash his face in, let it split him

Since he brought his main man with him

He ask me how I did 'em, I let the rhythm hit 'em

(Hit 'em, hit 'em) Let the rhythm hit 'em

(Hit 'em, hit 'em) Let the rhythm hit 'em (Let it hit 'em)

(Hit 'em, hit 'em) Let the rhythm hit 'em

Dance floor's dangerous, packed in like a briefcase

Rhythm with real rough rhyme, beats with deep bass

Girls with tight pants, maybe they might dance

Tonight, if the R's on the mic, there's a slight chance

The crowd is crucial, MC grounds are neutral

Now that your'e here, let me introduce you

Get ready, I'm hard to read like graffiti

But steady, science I drop is real heavy

Radiant energy, that'll be the penalty

Touch the third rail, all the pain of remedy

The prescription's one every hour, now it's a habit

You need another hit from the freestyle fanatic

Attention, follow directions real close

Keep out of reach of children, beware the overdose

Too many milligram, no one made an iller jam

My rhyme is the rhythm, my thoughts would kill a man

Ideas for the ear to fear, might split 'em

He'll never forget 'em, he'll rest in peace with 'em

At least when he left, he'll know what hit him

The last breath of the words of death was the rhythm

(Hit 'em, hit 'em) Let the rhythm hit 'em

(Hit 'em, hit 'em) Let the rhythm hit 'em (Let it hit 'em)

(Hit 'em, hit 'em) Let the rhythm hit 'em

Now throw your hands in the air and yell, "Go"

Rakim will do the rest of this slow

If I speed they'll know they'll blow the hell up

If I slow up, they'll catch up, hell no

Wicked as I kicked it, no need to remix it

'Cause I prefixed it, reversed and switched it

Perform to perfection, section for section

Rhymes keep connectin', you're guessin' what's next

And blood pressure rises, you damn near lost it

Hit the ground burnin' and woke up frostbit

'Cause when I explain, you can't complain for pain

I travel through the brain, hit a vein, then remain

Let it radiate, vibes will vibrate, why did you violate?

Now I'ma have to let the style break

Moans now, the tone is ingrown

After this gets thrown, gimme another microphone

Before I get that fi-fi I met

Whisper, "I wanna reach your intellect"

Kiss her, 'cause I wanna give her the most respect

So I shine and let my light reflect

Hold her, mold her, make her feel older

Lay her on my shoulder, everything I told her

Makes her feel secure whenever I'm with her

And you know how I did her, me and the rhythm hit her

(Hit 'em, hit 'em) Let the rhythm hit 'em

(Hit 'em, hit 'em) Let the rhythm hit 'em

(Hit 'em, hit 'em) Let the rhythm hit 'em

(Hit 'em, hit 'em) Let the rhythm hit 'em

(Hit 'em, hit 'em) Let the rhythm hit 'em

(Hit 'em, hit 'em) Let the rhythm hit 'em

Let the rhythm hit 'em

(Hit 'em, hit 'em) Let the rhythm hit 'em

(Hit 'em, hit 'em) Let the rhythm hit 'em

(Hit 'em, hit 'em) Let the rhythm hit 'em

Let the rhythm hit 'em

(Hit 'em, hit 'em) Let the rhythm hit 'em

(Hit 'em, hit 'em) Let the rhythm hit 'em

(Hit 'em, hit 'em) Let the rhythm hit 'em
