It
Rakim Lyrics

Hey yo, it's Mr. Low,key, you need to go see
Hello, it's me, Mr. Low-key. You should go see the host because they're mostly out of town with a new show, but you know my style.

The host by far a mostly O.T., with a brand new show, but
The show's host is largely out of town with a new show.

You know how the flow be
You're aware of my style of delivery.

'Cause when I swerve, you observe it closely
When I switch up my flow, you pay close attention.

If you smoke trees, smoke more than an O.Z.
If you smoke marijuana, smoke more than an ounce (28 grams).

Mix any kind of dope with me, you O.D.
If you mix any type of drug with me, you will overdose.

You get the seed, LP, C.O.D.
You receive the seed and the LP by cash on delivery (C.O.D.).

Poetry 'cause you to fully load the V
My poetic rhymes give your car's engine a full load of power.

Drop place to place, be crazy over me
People all over the world appreciate my music.

Even different nationalities, over seas
People from various ethnicities enjoy my music, even those overseas.

However, do a don't emcee, you know me
Whether or not I'm performing, you know who I am as an emcee.

G,O,D.
As an emcee, I am comparable to a supreme being or God.

She know she D.O.E., so show me
She knows she's a dime (attractive), so she needs to show me.

Even with no jewelry she call me Goldie
Even if I'm not wearing any jewelry, she still sees me as valuable (Goldie).

Like a Jacuzzi, she overheat an O.G.
Being with me is like being in a Jacuzzi, it makes her overheated because I'm an original gangsta (O.G.).

Like sushi swimmin' in a open sea, I'm comin'
I'm the big fish in the ocean, like sushi swimming in an open sea, and I'm coming.

She said it's the same since I came and reigned: it's still hard
She says that my music has remained difficult, just like it was when I first started.

You can stimulate the brain, feel the god
My music can stimulate the brain and make you feel powerful.

It's hard to go against the grain, it's real large
Going against what's popular is difficult, but it's a big deal.

Drive 'em insane, leave dames in silk bras
My music drives people crazy and leaves women in luxurious lingerie.

Plus real cups spill, spill that bars
Things in reality often spill over into my lyrics and music.

What's the deal? Kids with Hennessey grills , they feel charged
What's going on? Young people with gold teeth feel full of energy when drinking Hennessey alcohol.

And you know what time it is? It's still Ra's
You already know whose time it is, it's still Ra's (referring to himself).

When I do a show real far, they steal cars
People will go to extreme lengths to attend my shows, even stealing cars.

Stages of battle field reveal your scars
Performing on stage and engaging in battles with other rappers can reveal your vulnerabilities or weaknesses.

Train hard 'cause this is a game with ill squads
Work hard because the rap game is competitive, with many talented groups to compete against.

Play with pain and gain a couple of yards
Push through the pain and obstacles to reach your goals, even if it's just a small amount of progress.

And if you know the deal, you can deal the cards
If you know how the game works, you can control the outcome or your situation (like dealing cards in a game).

And appeal to broads with jobs and ov,e,ods
Attract successful women with careers and other expensive accessories (like ovulation tests).

Body parts like buns of steel and spa's
Women's bodies should be physically fit, like having toned buttocks and visiting spas.

Then we can kick tha blahzay blah, smoke a cigar
Then we can relax and talk nonsense, while smoking a cigar.

While I get ma massage
While I get a massage.

From the inner city to the suburbs, the street poet
I am a poet from the inner city to the suburbs who raps about the streets.

The most jiggiest kid with words, and peeps know it
I have the smoothest skills when it comes to rhyming and everyone knows it.

They've read about it and heard, plus T.V. show it
People have seen and heard about my talent through television and other media outlets.

So how do I reserve my swerve? I low pro it
To keep my unique style of delivery fresh, I keep a low profile.

Now they're eager to know just how deep the flow get
People are curious to see how far my rhyming skills can go.

I don't know yet, sometime the flow be so wet
I'm not sure yet, sometimes my rhymes come so naturally and smoothly.

Spit a tech that will effect quicker than most
I can deliver rhymes that will affect people emotionally faster than most other rappers can.

Or high as anything you smoke, yet go ahead, roll it
My rhyming skills are even better than the marijuana you smoke, but go ahead and smoke it anyways.

Any microphone I hold, my heat blow it
I can spit hot rhymes on any microphone I hold.

My E,M,O is make more dough till I can't fold it
My emotional state is to make as much money as possible, and keep making more until it's too much to fold.

Anything I see or touch, I want to own it
I have a desire to own anything I see or touch.

Drop a jewel in baby girl ear, now she my co,ed
I drop some knowledge on a woman and now she's my accomplice or partner.

I reload and she keep the candy coated
I start again and she keeps the situation looking sweet or innocent.

And when she know she can't control it
And when she realizes she can't control the situation.

She tell me she about to blow at any moment
She tells me she's about to lose her cool at any given moment.

Well, go ahead, baby, I can't hold it
Well, go ahead and let it out, I can't control it either.

I'm comin'
I'm on my way or I'm coming (referring to himself as a musician).
