[00:00:00] The 18th Letter (Always And Forever) - Rakim

[00:00:00] Written by：Isaac Hayes/Rakim/S. Phillips/William Griffin/Scott Phillips

[00:00:00] What uhh yo

[00:00:02] Just when things seemed the same

[00:00:04] And the whole scene is lame

[00:00:05] I come and reign with the unexplained

[00:00:06] For the brains till things change

[00:00:08] They strain to slang sling

[00:00:09] I'm trained to bring game

[00:00:11] History that I arranged been

[00:00:13] Regained by king james

[00:00:14] Go to practice with tactics

[00:00:16] When the track hits theatrics

[00:00:17] Women that look like actress

[00:00:18] The status of cleopatra's

[00:00:20] Stacks of mathematics

[00:00:21] Took the

[00:00:22] Ego a geatics

[00:00:23] As I find out what the facts is

[00:00:25] For geographic

[00:00:26] No time to sip mo's with hostess

[00:00:28] Never mind what the total gross is

[00:00:29] I rip shows stay focused

[00:00:30] And split cheese with soldiers

[00:00:32] While you hit trees and coast

[00:00:33] I spit flows that be ferocious

[00:00:35] And with these explosives

[00:00:36] I split seas for moses

[00:00:38] Shine permanently only

[00:00:39] My mind's concernin me

[00:00:40] Fire burns in me eternally time's eternity

[00:00:43] Followers turn on me

[00:00:44] They'll be in a mental infirmary

[00:00:46] Determinely advance technology

[00:00:48] Better than germany

[00:00:49] Since the first days you know of

[00:00:51] Till the last days is over

[00:00:52] I was always the flow er

[00:00:54] I made waves for noah

[00:00:55] From a compound

[00:00:56] To the anatomy

[00:00:57] To the breakdown of a atom

[00:00:58] Some of my rap patterns

[00:00:59] Still surround saturn

[00:01:01] From the ancient hieroglyphics

[00:01:02] To graffiti painted pictures

[00:01:04] I study I know the scriptures

[00:01:05] But nowaday ain't it vicious

[00:01:07] Date back I go beyond

[00:01:08] Check the Holy Qu'ran

[00:01:09] To speeches at the altar on

[00:01:11] Now we get our party on

[00:01:13] So being beneficent

[00:01:14] I bless em with dialogue

[00:01:16] They expectin the next testament by the god

[00:01:19] I blow em through battlezones

[00:01:20] With chrome for chaperone

[00:01:21] Blast beats with saxophones

[00:01:23] One of the baddest rapper's known

[00:01:24] Every country city and borough

[00:01:26] Sidestreet and ghetto

[00:01:27] Isle and alley and meadow theories

[00:01:28] Ferile enough to echo

[00:01:30] When it was one mass of land

[00:01:32] With one nash' of man

[00:01:33] And the whole mass was

[00:01:34] Ran under one master plan

[00:01:36] Since the world's metamorphis

[00:01:37] And the plan is kept in orbit

[00:01:39] Turntables we spin off but the

[00:01:40] Needles never skip off it

[00:01:42] Rhythms we expressin

[00:01:43] Similar to our ancestors

[00:01:45] It'll answer your questions if you

[00:01:47] Understand the message

[00:01:48] From the days of the slave choppers

[00:01:49] To the new age of prophets

[00:01:51] As heavy as hip hop is

[00:01:52] I'm always ready to drop it

[00:01:53] From the mind which

[00:01:55] Is one of Allah's best designs

[00:01:56] And mines'll stand the test of time

[00:01:59] When I rhyme

[00:02:00] The 18th letter the prophesy professor

[00:02:03] I stay clever long as the

[00:02:04] Planet stay together

[00:02:05] Bring up praise from mecca

[00:02:07] Make a phrase for the better

[00:02:08] In new days to remember

[00:02:10] Always and forever

[00:02:11] The 18th letter the prophesy professor

[00:02:14] I stay clever long as the

[00:02:16] Planet stay together

[00:02:17] Bring up praise from mecca

[00:02:18] Make a phrase for the better

[00:02:20] In new days to remember

[00:02:22] Always and forever
