(Nigo f) Rakim - Shadow of the Ape Sounds слова песни
[ VERSE 1: Rakim ]Aiyo, once upon a rhyme, but way across the maps and seasIn a time that`s hard, all we have is dreamsIn a place surrounded by casualtiesB-boys and girls wear caps and jeansThey have to fiend, infected by rap`s diseaseBut prepared to die for all of rap`s beliefsThey love real hip-hop, real tracks and MC`sAnd can`t stand cats that like to rap for cheeseIt ain`t all about the gat to squeezeVS-1`s or SUV`s or even stacks of g`sThey love thuggin but still they like to catch a breezeThey love clubbin so they go and crash the sceneWhere the queens treat their men like kings, Your MajestiesDJ`s trickery spins the wax with easeOn the dancefloor spinnin on they backs and freezeWhere MC`s kick rhymes in Japanese[ CHORUS: Rakim (2X) ]So JapanLet me see you wave your handYo JapanLet me see you wave your handIt`s the J to the a to the p-a-nThe R to the a to the k-i-m[ VERSE 2: Rakim ]They said, "I heard Ra was comin to town I hope he`ll showWe know he can flow, open the show so he can blow for Tokyo"Nobody shut the whole town down since GodzillaThink of the sickest thing you even seen - Ra`s illerI brought the drama for Yokohama, I rock a partyFor Osaka and Hiroshima and Nagasaki( ?? ) until they hear us over in RussiaYo, who`s that clutchin the mic, the club rusherThe man you`ve been askin for after allYou can`t ask for more, it`s the ambassadorRap`s diplomat with Japan`s welcome matRap well over tracks, I get welcomed backIt`s a honor that I`m the one you`d call to rhymeSo when I write I`ma always keep y`all in mindAnd I`ma keep spittin like this all the timeBut right now this is the time for y`all to shine[ CHORUS ][ VERSE 3: Rakim ][ Japanese ], rock the instrumentalsThink I hear one now, stop the limoRoll down the window and follow the IndoWomen go, "Ooh ah [ Japanese ] there Rakim go"Do I love the way y`all get down? Man, listenThis is the land of the turntable techniciansWith a can graffiti artists can make a wall glistenAnd rhymes, it`s a whole new language that y`all spittinI told my peeps in New York City that y`all ghettoI told Cali to spread the world: y`all thoroughFrom Chi-Town and the Dirty South they all shoutedTold my rollies down in New Orleans that y`all bout itAnd peace to N-i-g-o, you move crowdsTo my man with the magic marker, Futura 2 thouWe all make sure it`s new styles to learnUntil then - Rakim shall return[ CHORUS ]
