Lyrics
Just talk about it, those that can dance and clap your hands to it It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you Without a strong rhyme to step to Think of how many weak shows you slept through Time's up, I'm sorry I kept you Thinking of this, you keep repeating you miss The rhymes from the microphone soloist And you sit by the radio, hands on the dial, soon As you hear it, pump up the volume Dance with the speaker till you hear it blow Then plug in the headphone 'cause here it go It's a four-letter word when it's heard, it's control Your body to dance (You got it!) soul Directs the tempo like a red alert Reaches your reflex, so let it work When this is playing, you can't get stuck with The steps, so get set and I'mma still come up with A gift to be swift, follow the leader, the rhyme will go Def with the record that was mixed a long time ago It can be done but only I can do it For those that can dance and clap your hands to it I start to think and then I sink Into the paper like I was ink When I'm writing, I'm trapped in between the lines I escape when I finish the rhyme I got soul (soul soul soul soul) Those that can dance and clap your hands to it Those that can dance and clap your hands to it A beat like this might tempt me To pose, show my rings and my fat gold chain Grab the mic like I'm on Soul Train But I'll wait 'Cause I mastered this Let the others go first so the brothers don't miss Eric B. breaks the sticks (You got it!) Rakim will begin when you make the mix I'll experiment like a scientist You wanna rhyme, you gotta sign my list 'Cause this is how it should be done This style is identical to none Some try to make it sound like this but you're getting me So upset that I'm wet 'cause you're sweating me I drip steam like a microphone fiend Eager to MC is my theme I get hype when I hear a drumroll Rakim is on the mic and you know I got soul (soul soul soul) You got it! You got it! Those that can dance and clap your hands to it
