Lyrics The Saga Begins - Rakim

Ahh
Ghetto music
Yo
Here we go

And my name is Rakim
And my name is Rakim
And my name is Rakim
And my name is Rakim
And my name is Rakim, Rakim

Yo, the saga begins, my eyes is the photography lens
Properly push pens and show quality gems
The horrors be grim but yo maybe tomorrow we win
If we follow the trends and keep count of the dollars we spend

I want a mahogany Benz, I want lottery ends
I want property, friends, plus my hobby is skins
If I decide we in sin, then my prophecy ends
But the God'll begin, watchin' my odyssey spin

In the place where war be, based on a true story
Territory was made for me to pursue glory
Blast alone masses in zones have to be sewn
Every capacity blown, I'm internationally known, yo

So all hail the honorable, microphone phenomenal
Persona is unbombable, trust me son
I continue like a saga do, bringin' you the drama to
Allow you that the chronicle has just begun

The saga begins
The soul controller, Rakim
Set it off, yo, the saga begins
Still say a rhyme after the next one

The saga begins
The soul controller, Rakim
Set it off, yo, the saga begins
You know that I'm the soloist

Yo, my never endin' epic, got the world spinnin' hectic
I quickly spread it, till the whole city's infected
Suspense that I supply intensify
Then commence as my daily events go by

You get involved in this, paragraphologist
Narratin' novelist, market this, sound marvelous
I'm the star in this, which means the author's authentic
Most definite, every episode's a epidemic

So when you research, check it, here go the evidence
They represent with lyrical negligence for presidents
My science existed, without the fiction
Every inscription is a special edition

So all hail the honorable, microphone phenomenal
Persona is unbombable, trust me son
I continue like a saga do, bringin' you the drama to
Allow you that the chronicle has just begun

The saga begins
The soul controller, Rakim
Set it off, yo, the saga begins
Still say a rhyme after the next one

The saga begins
The soul controller, Rakim
Set it off, yo, the saga begins
You know that I'm the soloist

Yo, the legacy lives, let 'em see what the pedigree is
Mega-thesis, blessin' these kids with extra features
The depth's deep as the deepest sea is
Telepathy increases melody gets speakers, telekinesis

Ideas appear as clear as pictures in movie theaters
Lyrics you hear it, devestating the way you ear it
So stay tuned for sequels, part two's and more
So soon you and your peoples can bumrush the store

The names have changed the game remain the same
How one came to reign on his claim to fame
No stoppin' this I'm droppin' this with hip-hop in this
And when the topic is topicless, then I'm writin' the apocalypse

So all hail the honorable, microphone phenomenal
Persona is unbombable, trust me son
I continue like a saga do, bringin' you the drama to
Allow you that the chronicle has just begun

The saga begins
The soul controller, Rakim
Set it off, yo, the saga begins
Still say a rhyme after the next one

The saga begins
The soul controller, Rakim
Set it off, yo, the saga begins
You know that I'm the soloist

Rakim, set it off
Rakim, set it off
Rakim, set it off
You know that I'm the soloist

Rakim, set it off
Rakim, set it off
Rakim, set it off
You know that I'm the soloist

Rakim, yo
