Lyrics It's a Must ((Edited)) - Rakim
If
I
lay
low
and
let
the
day
go
it′ll
slow
my
payroll
Aye-yo
I'm
a
terrorize
charge
and
slay
shows
Ra
slay
flows
go
as
far
as
the
Barbados
On
the
turntable
sound
like
tornadoes
My
style
is
performed
like
tropical
storms
Your
not
to
get
on
the
whole
spot
will
get
torn
I
keep
the
metropolitan
hollering
and
bring
the
dollars
in
Keep
the
models
following
wise
as
King
Solomon
Come
slow
through
the
jungle
like
an
animal
Invade
any
land
I
go
like
General
Hannibal
From
Long
Island
to
Queens
light
up
the
New
York
scenes
All
the
way
to
New
Orleans
and
everything
in
between
Left
to
go
bless
a
show
in
Mexico
Next
Thing
I
know
it′s
extra
cold
I
see
Eskimo's
Time
to
rock
get
it
hot
soon
as
I
get
in
there
Spit
in
they
ear
so
flow
they
froze
and
I
disappear
()It's
a
must
that
I
bust
any
mic
that
you
hand
to
me
It′s
inherited
it
runs
in
the
family
(2nd
verse)
They
said
I
was
a
head
of
my
time
or
either
here
before
To
see
the
idea
clear
it
takes
a
year
or
more
Now
times
that
by
the
years
I
reign
straight-seven
No
hear
for
four
years
still
multiplied
by
eleven
The
silence′s
a
set
back
make
em
regret
that
One
way
to
get
back
is
violence
and
wet
cats
But
hold
your
head
black
or
I'll
never
rap
again
Just
when
I
thought
I
was
out
they
pulled
me
back
in
Now
that
was
two
years
ago
and
if
cats
start
interfering
Then
I′m
a
go
back
to
the
gat
and
racketeering
My
sabotage
is
camaflouge
and
espionage
You
ain't
havin
Ra
so
don′t
test
the
god
I'm
takin′
all
orders
I
can't
afford
extorters
I
hit
em
in
the
head
with
a
hundred
dollars
in
quarters
So
warn
a
friend
tell
em
it's
on
again
If
it′s
a
freestyle
bust
in
a
park
I
want
in
()It′s
a
must
that
I
bust
any
mic
that
you
hand
to
me
It's
inherited
it
runs
in
the
family
(3rd
verse)
I
managed
to
get
paid
for
a
decade
now
add
three
years
on
to
that
Perform
with
a
knack
yes
I
was
born
to
rap
The
mic
Lebanon
Teflon
don
is
back
I
strike
with
better
bombs
and
armed
to
attack
So
reload
the
van
go
ahead
let
em
in
Every
tours
a
war
and
I′m
on
the
road
again
Suprise
a
town
the
place
it's
live
and
loud
We
vibin′
now
I
go
wild
and
dive
in
the
crowd
Never
hit
the
ground
they
catch
me
and
carry
me
around
Then
put
me
right
back
on
stage
to
shut
it
down
From
New
York
to
Cali,
Japan
and
I-tali
I'm
known
as
the
microphone
Muhammad
Ali
I′m
worldwide
my
brothers
be
biggin'
me
up
Keep
the
girls
occupied
lovin'
diggin′
me
what
Ain′t
around
when
I
come
to
town
they
mad
glad
Like
Saddaam
they
even
say
I'm
the
bomb
in
Baghdad
()It′s
a
must
that
I
bust
any
mic
that
you
hand
to
me
It's
inherited
it
runs
in
the
family
