This is poetry in motion
Try to catch on, stay close to the host
and MC s try to make the road rough but I m coastin
Ladies hear the rhymes rub em on like lotion
Hit spots soothin, can t stop movin
Go ahead bust a sweat and you can bet I m still coolin
When I detain it s a brainstorm
never the same form, every brain I rained on is warm
Takin a trip through Memory Lane to Melody
See if you could tell if these thoughts to fell MC s
could do you justice, but you can t touch this
Some kid just tried to bust this but he just missed
I m universal and much more merciful
So versatile with the style it s reversable
I get away even if I say a curse or two
First, let me bust another verse for you
Your arms too short to box with Ra so quit
You don t want no kind of conflict
Or you ll get stripped as the rhyme is ripped
Pick up the pieces now ain t that peace yeah I m hip
Everything I said flows since my intro
I plant a thought extend and then grow
Holdin my pen tightly it might be
Controversy at first when I write the
chords of research don t just take it for granted
When I m gone my mind remains a planet
If I keep buildin, and teach the children
So when they read in between the lines it s filled in
I break to meditate, not a peep, concentrate
till I m deep awake, but not asleep
At the same time risin and advertisin
what is true, keep advised and you can stay wise
and I m untouchable

Comin over the bridge take a peak at the skyline
Cause that s how I shine not only when I rhyme
My culture s makin me stronger, mentally
Physically I m powerful poetry now that could be
labelled as art placed in a museum
Style ll make scenery, now you see em
Exhibit a knowledge that s packed and filled with
nothin illiterate it s facts I build with
My mind s untouchable which means intangible
Contents never dense it s understandable
I study life so I can live it the right way
No time to hear what another brother might say
Why sell a capsule of crack I don t have to
I rhyme and sign million dollar contracts to
put message on records that s graced with hard bass
Smugglin microphones, this ain t Scarface
Whoever talked that talk, I wanna hawk
And don t try to Escape From New York
Cross a 110th Street lookin for a problem
It s Hell Up In Harlem, watch Ra solve em
I hear the music clear as I get near
the hundred and twenty fifth street Apollo Theater
Take a step back when I rap I step up to you...
I m untouchable

Put on my thinking cap pump the track
Test your reflex relax but in contact
you fold and lose control so hold your partner closer
you re supposed to keep your composure
But you hear the drum said go then it gets so hype
it s like nitro opponents get petro
Remember the trademark left by the R
that s never soft or smooth it s comin off the hardest
in effect, you could die-tect the imposter
Takin my props, Rakim is still proper
I m a prophet, you can t stop it, when I drop it
Everything I say, coincide with the topic
Thoughts bounce around till my skull is fractured
Inside my brain it s all manufactured
As we go deeper it s hard to find
Don t even think about it, cause you can t read my mind
It s clear so therefore you need a ear or inclined
in the mind with some kind of idea for
the style I m advertisin what is true
Keep advised that you stay wise and the mind
is untouchable

Casualties of war; as I approach the barricade
Where s the enemy? Who do I invade?
Bullets of Teflon, bulletproof vest rip
Tear ya outta ya frame with a bag full of clips
Cause I got a family that waits for my return
To get back home is my main concern
I ma get back to New York in one piece
but I m bent in the sand that is hot as the city streets
Sky lights up like fireworks blind me
Bullets, whistlin over my head remind me...
President Bush said attack
Flashback to Nam, I might not make it back
Missile hits the area, screams wake me up
from a war of dreams, heat up the M-16
Basic training, trained for torture
Take no prisoners, and I just caught ya
Addicted to murder, send more bodybags
They can t identify em, leave the nametags
I get a rush when I see blood, dead bodies on the floor
CASUALTIES OF WAR! (4X)

Day divides the night and night divides the day
It s all hard work and no play
More than combat, it s far beyond that
Cause I got a kill or be killed kind of attack
Area s mapped out, there ll be no, Stratego
Me and my platoon make a boom wherever we go
But what are we here for? Who s on the other side of the wall?
Somebody give the President a call
But I hear warfare scream through the air
Back to the battlegrounds, it s war they declare
A Desert Storm: let s see who reigns supreme
Something like Monopoly: a government scheme
Go to the Army, be all you can be
Another dead soldier? Hell no, not me
So I start letting off ammunition in every direction
Allah is my only protection
But wait a minute, Saddam Hussein prays the same
and this is Asia, from where I came
I m on the wrong side, so change the target
Shooting at the general; and where s the sergeant?
Blame it on John Hardy Hawkins for bringing me to America
Now it s mass hysteria
I get a rush when I see blood, dead bodies on the floor
CASUALTIES OF WAR! (4X)

The war is over, for now at least
Just because they lost it don t mean it s peace
It s a long way home, it s a lot to think about
Whole generation, left in doubt
Innocent families killed in the midst
It ll be more dead people after this
So I m glad to be alive and walkin
Half of my platoon came home in coffins
Except the general, buried in the Storm
in bits and pieces no need to look for em
I played it slick and got away with it
Rigged it up so they would think they did it
Now I m home on reserves and you can bet
when THEY call, I m going AWOL
Cause it ain t no way I m going back to war
when I don t know who or what I m fighting for
So I wait for terrorists to attack
Every time a truck backfires I fire back
I look for shelter when a plane is over me
Remember Pearl Harbor? New York could be over, G
Kamikaze, strapped with bombs
No peace in the East, they want revenge for Saddam
Did I hear gunshots, or thunder?
No time to wonder, somebody s going under
Put on my fatigues and my camoflouge
Take control, cause I m in charge
When I snapped out of it, it was blood, dead bodies on the floor
CASUALTIES OF WAR! (4X)

Tekst :

Planet Earth was my place of birth
Born to be the soul controller of the universe
Besides the part of the map I hit first
Any a rhyme that I can adapt when it gets worst
The rough gets going, the going gets rough
When I start flowing, the mic might bust
The next state, I shake from the power I generate
People in Cali used to think it was earthquakes
Cause times was hard on the Boulevard
So I vote God and never get scarred and gauled
But it seems like I m locked in hell
Looking over the edge but the R never fell
A trip to slip cause my Nikes got grip
Stand on my own two feet and come equip
Any stage I m seen on, a mic I fiend on
I stand alone and need nothing to lean on
Going for self wit a long way to go
So much to say but I still flow slow
I come correct and I won t look back
Cause it ain t where you re from, it s where you re at
Even the (ghetto)

I learn to relax in my room and escape from New York
And return through the womb of the world as a thought
Thinking how hard it was to be born
Me being queen wit no physical form
Millions have settled wit one destination
To reach the best part, it s life creation
9 months later, a job well done
Make way, cause here I come
Since I made it this far, I can t stop now
There s a will and a way and I got to know how
To be all I can be and more
And see all there is to see before
Called and go back to the essence
It s alot to learn so I study my lessons
I thought the ghetto was the worst that could happen to me
I m glad I listen when my father was rapping to me
Cause back in the days, they lived in caves
Exile from the original man, a straight way
Now that s what I call hard times
I rather be here to exercise the mind
Then I take a thought around the world twice
From knowledge to born back to knowledge precise
Across the desert, that s how to store a radiant
But they couldn t cave me in cause I m the Asiant
REaching for the city, a Mecca, visit medina
Visions of Neffertiti then I seen a
Mind keeps traveling, I ll be back after I
Stop and think about the brothers and sisters in Africa
Return the thought through the eye of a needle
For miles I thought and I just fought the people
Under the dark skies on a dark side
Not only there but right here s an apartheid
So now is the time for us to react
Take a trip through the mind and when you get back
Understand you re third eye seen all of that
It ain t where you re from, it s where you re at
Even the (ghetto)
Even the (ghetto)

No more props, I want property
In every borough, nobody s stopping me
Because I m thorough, rhymes are making real estate for me to own
Wherever I bless a microphone
007 is back and relaxing
On poignant reacting and ready for action
I m so low key that you might not see me
Incognito and taking it easy
Quiet, it s kept on a hush hush
In front of a crowd, I get loud, there s a bumrush
Be calm, keep a low pro, and play the background
Over the wack rapper, put the mic back down
So rip it, break it in half, go head and slam it
Cause when it s time to build, I m a mechanic
I m bonding and mending, attaching and blending
So many solos, there is no ending
People in my neighborhood, they know I m good
From London to Hollywood, wherever I stood
Footprints remain on stage ever since
As I walk the street, I leave fossils and dents
When I had sex, I left my name on necks
My trademark was left throughout the projects
I used to get rich when I played celo
When I rolled 4, 5, 6, they go we know
So I collect my cash then slide
I got my back, my gun s on my side
It shouldn t have to be like that
I guess it ain t where you re from, it s where you re at
Even the (ghetto)
I m from the (ghetto)
Word up, peace

Ooooo oooooo
Peace of mind, Peace of mind

[chorus]
We want peace whoa
We want a peace of mind
It s times like this I wanna leave the world behind
We want peace whoa
We want a peace of mind
I wanna take a little piece of my herb and get this whole world high.

[Richter]
Some body please explain

Bogactwo sława i wspaniała zabawa x4

Osiągasz sukces zarabiasz pieniądze
Spełniasz swe marzenia zaspokajasz żądze
Czy tego oczekuję hmm niech pomyślę
Przecież nie zaistniałem jeszcze w muzycznym przemyśle
Więc nie pierdol mi tutaj że robię coś dla kasy
Nie ściemniaj skurwysynu że chcę...

Mam życie pustka mi dokucza
mam kieszeń, chyba skręcę coś
mam kawał żony, dzieci, bluesa
w mieszkaniu tłok, bezwstydny tłok.

Idąc kołyszę się niezmiennie
czuję ucieczkę nieudaną
w świat a może tu pod ziemię
gdzie serce moje pogrzebane

ref.I chyba...

Nassau s gone funky
Nassau s gone soul
We ve got a dog on beat now
We gonna call our very own

Nassau rock and Nassau roll
Nassau s got a whole lotta soul

Huh
Feel alright

Mini skirt...

Don t want you to feel this way
Don t want you to fall down from the sky

................ shadow land
Helping you but it seems to make you hide

I don t wanna live my life in vain
I don t wanna walk the streets of rain
I don t wanna feel this pain for...
