Make 'em clap to this
Make 'em clap to this
Make 'em, make 'em clap to this

I came in the door, I said it before
I never let the mic magnatize me no more
But it's bitin' me, fightin' me, invitin' me to rhyme
I can't hold it back, I'm lookin' for the line

Takin' off my coat, clearin' my throat
The rhyme will be kickin' 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 B, make 'em clap to this

Make 'em, make 'em clap to this
Make 'em, make 'em clap to this
Make 'em, make 'em clap to this
Make 'em clap to this
Make 'em, make 'em clap to this

I don't bug out or chill or be actin' ill
No tricks in '86, it's time to build
Eric B easy on the cut, no mistakes allowed
'Cuz to me, MC means move the crowd

I made it easy to dance to this
But can you detect what's comin' next from the flex of the wrist
Sayin' indeed that I precede 'cuz 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 kickin' it because it ain't no half steppin'
The party is live, the rhyme can't be kept in

Side, it needs eruptin' 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 B is on the cut and my name is Rakim

Make 'em, make 'em clap to this
Make 'em, make 'em clap to this
Make 'em, make 'em clap to this
Make 'em, make 'em clap to this
Make 'em, make 'em clap

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 'cuz 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 thin's
Make 'em, make 'em clap to this

You caught an attitude, you need food to eat up
I'm schemin' like I'm dreamin' 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

Make 'em, make 'em clap to this
Make 'em, make 'em clap to this
Make 'em, make 'em clap to this
Make 'em, make 'em clap to this

Make 'em, make 'em clap to this
Make 'em, make 'em clap to this
Make 'em, make 'em clap to this

I made it easy to dance to this
But can you detect what's comin' next from the flex of the wrist
Sayin' indeed that I precede 'cuz my man made a mix
If he bleed he won't need no band-aid to fix

Eric B is on the cut and my name is Rakim
Make 'em, make 'em clap to this

Make 'em clap to this
Make 'em clap to this
Make 'em clap to this
Make 'em clap to this
