When I’m Flowin

Lyrics

[Intro] Yes, yes y'all, check it out y'all Yes, yes y'all, check it out y'all [Chorus x2] Yo, I find a show, rhyme 'til it's time to go I'm designed to blow, my mind's inclined to flow Yo, my M.O., makin' all kind of dough From the info that Rakim show, y'know? [Verse 1] Yes yes y'all, I still fiend by any means To flow, and I go through extremes don't intervene My adventures show like a three dimensional screen 'Cause I mention many things and I'm presentin' many scenes Guess I'm telegraphic, motions energentic Better tell 'em forget it, 'cause I'm telekinetic Crowds is screamin', I choke the mic and keep squeezin' Styles seemin' like I used a thousand words without breathin' Bustin' techs like Russian Roulette, I doubt you win Freestyles like hand grenades without the pin Composin', then leave the mic full of corrosion Don't test this, or catch the asbestos exposure At shows I spit flows with seven deadly venoms Killin' syllables with poisonous synonyms in 'em Ideas is blowin', mics is blowin' From what I'm showin', see it, I keep it goin' when I'm flowin' [Chorus] Yo, I find a show, rhyme 'til it's time to go I'm designed to blow, my mind's inclined to flow Yo, my M.O., makin' all kind of dough From the info that Rakim show, y'know? [Verse 2] When I'm flowin', theoretically speakin' like a drummer I take you through the streets to the parks in the summer Or illustrate, a time and place you never been in And make you focus on the future after seein' the beginning And my style wilds, like Miles on the trumpet Volume dial was kind of low, need to pump it Up another notch, turn the dial 'til it stops More watts you got, more things to watch Third eye's wide open, you're focused on the theory Keep scopin' 'til you hear me, words is spoken clearly It's no smokescreens on the scenes that I'm showin' Man, I keep it goin', damn, I keep it flowin' [Chorus x2] Yo, I find a show, rhyme 'til it's time to go I'm designed to blow, my mind's inclined to flow Yo, my M.O., makin' all kind of dough From the info that Rakim show, y'know? [Verse 3] Two pages cause panic, freestyles is frantic Thoughts is organic, flow is aerodynamic Mic is volcanic, rhymes spread across the planet I send out the scribe now the vibes gigantic Now, I'm internationally known, mental capacities blown I hope your microphone's accident prone Raw footage is shown, but only showin' scenes of my own Leavin' your peripheral vision in a zone But not the twilight, from the insight that I write And recite, in my mic'll be bright, 'cause I like The night glowin', it's out of sight when I'm showin' Man, I keep it goin', damn, I keep it flowin' [Chorus x2] Yo, I find a show, rhyme 'til it's time to go I'm designed to blow, my mind's inclined to flow Yo, my M.O., makin' all kind of dough From the info that Rakim show, y'know? [Verse 4] Yo, accurate tactics make 'em clap to this When I move the crowd, my rhythm still don't miss Breeze through melodies 'cause it's been a long time My lyrics is fury and rappers hate to hear me rhyme Every antidote that I quote, is no joke Nobody's smilin' in the ghetto from the notes I wrote My high techniques wreck and disrespect beats Have you follow-in the leader up and down the streets So kick along as I rip a song with pull As the rhyme goes on I get paid in full It's Rakim, I'm indicating rhymes for the showing Check it out y'all, I keep it goin' when I'm flowing [Chorus x2] Yo, I find a show, rhyme 'til it's time to go I'm designed to blow, my mind's inclined to flow Yo, my M.O., makin' all kind of dough From the info that Rakim show, y'know?
