i Am Hakeem

Natural born sinner
With the heart of a go getter
I finna hit ya
With a Big L
Just so yo' brain can get the big picture
Ya better figure
That I’m ill dammit
Established, to drill classics for the masses
My pen stay to paddin'
And Mos Def
In a way so ecstatic
Ya’ll can’t have it, tragic
At the fact that I’m back at it
You couldn’t calculate my passion
Doing mathematics
Raise up the bar high and frantic
Screaming this is Hip-Hop
Coming live from the rap addict
Wrap your head around my words like it’s elastic
Gimme the time to breathe
Divine with the lines I speak
Combined my mind with heat
I align these rhymes with ease
Now I see
Going all in for the odyssey
Is probably, all I need
To be cemented as a GOD MC
Flawlessly
This one for Rakim
This is hip-hop at its finest peak
Last of a dying breed, ya best believe
I’m the H to the A K double E M
If I wasn’t then why would I say I am?
I ain’t crazy
Or maybe I am?!
I’m the H to the A K double E M
One for the money
Two for the show
Three for Hakeem
Let everybody know
It go
One for the money
Two for the show
Three for Hakeem
Let everybody know
Lyrical virtues when I burst through
Rock without a crew when I serve you
When you talkin' kings, who you referring to?
I stay ahead of my time like breaking curfews
Revised a procedure
To retrieve the minds of non-believers
By spitting ether, started this as leisure
Now I’m eager
To eat beats that’ll blow your speakers
And to put Franklin’s beside my name like Aretha
Hold up
At the start it was no love
Got given the cold shoulder
About a hundred times over
Had my hopes up
Played like a controller
Now people saluting me like a soldier
When I’m in the zone, I’m at best
Locked alone flowin' over tones, freein' mad stress
I ain’t stopping till I’m popping as the chronic topic
Boy you flopping and I’m rocking, it’s just common knowledge
I’m the H to the A K double E M
If I wasn’t then why would I say I am?
I ain’t crazy
Or maybe I am?!
I’m the H to the A K double E M
One for the money
Two for the show
Three for Hakeem
Let everybody know
It go
One for the money
Two for the show
Three for Hakeem
Let everybody know
Still I put the time in
To climb
The highest heights with
A wise mind, grindin' for mine
In silence, Is my assignment
Ya highness
I don’t reside beside oblivious lies
That these rappers provide
I want no alliance
I can not fight it
One of Melbourne’s finest
With a touch so midas
Oh, I, must be bias
Inspired by the fliest writers
Now I’m turning into a giant incitin' riots
Yo I said let everybody know
Even ya payroll cause this a cashflow
For those that don’t know
I’m all about my dough, like homer
I’ma joker, time go for broke
All I do is hippity hop till the beat stop
They was waiting for the drop like I’m detox
I rap tighter than the clothes that these MC’s got
I punch these lines to ya mind, something like a cheap shot
I’m the H to the A K double E M
If I wasn’t then why would I say I am?
I ain’t crazy
Or maybe I am?!
I’m the H to the A K double E M
One for the money
Two for the show
Three for Hakeem
Let everybody know
It go
One for the money
Two for the show
Three for Hakeem
Let everybody know
