Waterworld

[Rakim]

"For those that know me..."

"For those that know me..."

"For those that know me..."

"For those that know me, indeed I like to flow"

[Encore]

Authentically raw wit it, see I augmented this industry

To submit to my will, all attempts to limit me

Can kneel, peel caps wit ill raps

Nothing convenes here till your camp gets smeared like pap

What you tryin to tell me, skills never found me

Workin for peanuts amongst jelly MC's, really ain't my steez

Peep game

I plot on different ways to make these styles ricochet through main frames

The day-to-day theme is turn these fake teams gangreen

My main vein's the only thing about me mainstream

You doubt me like the foes of Noah, embarkin in this Ark, the soul controller

While fools caught up in this Del used to blow up

You're inundating wit the out-dated

See all of y'all fall when this cascade hits

Yo D, watch these watered-down clowns get drowned

And lounge sound broken down in Cuba

Tryin to build ships off shit they bit

I spit that major play saliva, taylor-made for cypher sole survivor

Pay the piper if you plan to go inside my covenant

Better come in two's, matta fact come a crew to get you back

Executives, we wet you wit the hymns that leave you and your man

Packin, attackin wit verbal cataclysms

Leavin the average rapper drenched and grab a trench

Guard against my El Nino lingo

A labyrinth of keen flows, concealed within the single

This is Waterworld

"For those that know me, indeed I like to flow"

Waterworld

"For those that know me, indeed I like to flow"

This is Waterworld

"For those that know me, indeed I like to flow"

Waterworld

"For those that know me, indeed I like to flow"

[Encore]

My scripts consist of H20, Hip Hop and Oxygen

I flip commission doctrines that make me Shakespeare's peer

Upon this here tear I fear not

Killin furious wit the superior onslaught

On top of this isle solo, like Giligan wit a million styles

To throw yo' way wit capital A

We make waves, causin tsunamis to your armies

Splashin like the Kraken on Clash of the Titans, writin calmly

Call me Aquarius, each full page a new age

I'm on a crusade to rain on your parade

See 'Core is more than three-quarters of what this rap world secure

So this is Chinese Water Torture for MC's to endure

As I restore this reservoir wit my repetoire of metaphors

Step into the 'Core, better have your life insured

For supernatural disasters, I'm quick to cast a flame to your astral plane

It's bitch-made, get played like Conasta

Waterworld

"For those that know me, indeed I like to flow"

This is Waterworld

"For those that know me, indeed I like to flow"

Waterworld

"For those that know me, indeed I like to flow"

This is Waterworld

"For those that know me..."

[Encore]

What's an MC without concepts, I speak easy comin to offset your plumbing

Like leaky faucets, runnin my dungeon wit aquatic contraptions

The fifth fold's a fish bowl, kick hard as contractions

Wit skitzo-memos closed-captioned

Your lip's sewed cuz hardest to your fraction try to test me

You wouldn't tip-toe through Moses parted Red Sea

It's bound to collapse

So now what makes you think the sound of these raps

Is something different, I'm even pitchin the kitchen sink wit comin with it

Liquefied rhymes rhyme wax

It's time for jack-fakers to vacate, they take up space like the Great Lakes

Makin a great case for me to hate

Paint a picture clear as Evian, raps on tap like Savion Glover

Undercover, peeps wonder, why he became the arcitecht cuz none love us

We spark the shit that makes the blood cometh

Wash away your blockade plus your brigade

Tryin to sandbag clever words together

The weather, the storm, porn's poured on cassette wit Architecht sweat

In the cores of us form when he pass Tech-12's

I delve deep in this abyss, inspect hell

Tell a fallen ang-el to eat a dick if he gets pissed cuz this is Waterworld

"For those that know me, indeed I like to flow"

Waterworld

"For those that know me, indeed I like to flow"

This is Waterworld

"For those that know me, indeed I like to flow"

Waterworld

"For those that know me, indeed I like to flow"

"Flow" *echoes*
