Eric B. Is President

                                  I came in the door  i said it before 



I never let the mic magnatize me no more 



But it's biting me  fighting me  inviting me to rhyme 



I can't hold it back  I'm looking for the line  



Taking off my coat  clearing my throat 



My rhyme will be kicking it until I hit my last note 



My mind'll range to find all kinds of ideas 



Self esteem makes it seem like a thought took years to build 



But still say a rhyme after the next one 



Prepared, never scared, I'll just bless one 



And you know that I'm the soloist 



So Eric be	, make 'em clap to this 







I don't bug out or chill or be acting ill 



No tricks in '86, it's time to build 



Eric be	 easy on the cut, no mistakes allowed 



'cause to me, MC means move the crowd 



I made it easy to dance to this 



But can you detect what's coming next from the flex of the wrist 



Saying indeed that I precede 'cause my man made a mix 



If he bleed he won't need no band-aid to fix 



If they can get some around until there's no rhymes left 



I hurry up because the cut will make 'em bleed to death 



But he's kicking it because it ain't no half stepping 



The party is live, the rhyme can't be kept in- 



Side, it needs erupting just like a volcano 



It ain't the everyday style of the same old rhyme 



Because I'm better then the rest of them 



Eric be	 is on the cut and my name is Rakim 







Go get a girl and get soft and warm, 



Don't get excited, you've been invited to a quiet storm 



But now it's out of hand 'cause you told me you hate me 



And then you ask what have I done lately 



First you said all you want is love and affection 



Let me be your angel and I'll be your protection 



Take you out, buy you all kinds of things 



I must of got you too hot and burned off your wings 



You caught an attitude, you need food to eat up 



I'm scheming like I'm dreaming on a couch wit my feet up 



You scream I'm lazy, you must be crazy 



Thought I was a donut, you tried to glaze me 







Funky...
