Hypnotic

The rhymes is hypnotic

Every rhyme is hypnotic

[Verse 1: Rakim]

Now bust the mental, physical fitness

Here's descriptions, get with this and witness

Take a good look so you'll know what the prescription is

Is it a lyricist or a hypnotist?

I swing on the mic until the crowd's unconscious

React and reflex and now you're response is

"Yeah, like this here," "Yeah, somethin' severe,"

"The R is here, aww yeah"

For those that don't participate, refuse to break

Hallucinate and rehab couldn't rehabilitate

Brain cells serve and slam, more germs saw a chance

To a flame pre-heated when I say 'em

Filled with smoke when I wrote it

Potent, hear it get leery, weary when quotin'

Rakim invents somethin' intense

Get you high, suckin' on stems and stimulants

More exotic than the chief street product

Too fat for Castle, too large for a pocket

Overload the brain, if you need, it I got it

Pound your throats and every grain's hypnotic

[Verse 2: Rakim]

Tempo's shiftin', feel the urge to splurge

That's when I start to emerge

Go ahead, pump weights, girls and give me a massage

Because you're never too large to get squashed

Here's the hook, look, they couldn't wait

I accelerate while they took the bait

Then I unhook 'em and let 'em fiend for the rest of them

'Cause it's better than Mescaline

MC's are O.D.in', he couldn't cope

Nope, see him, looks like he had a mic full of opium

And I don't wanna have to get sarcastic

Thoughts and soft minds go far past it

And I don't sniff no 'caine to get raw

I don't stress my brain, it ain't pure

I smoke beats and my product's the topic

Every rhyme is hypnotic
