Get SomeRakim

Songwriter: Rakim

Rakim, kick it
St. Ides, St.-St. Ides
Rakim, kick it
St. Ides
St. Ides, St.-St. Ides
Rakim, kick it

If this was target practice I'll hit the spot
Bullseye when the rhyme gets hot
Temperature like a meteor, I shoot it like a missile
Mission accomplished, now it's time to wet my whistle
Calm the fire, [?] red alert
Take a sip real quick and let it work
It's like mixed with something ice cold with lava
Not a little, but a lotta
Because I'm getting hotter
Summer madness, in the streets dead heat
Drippin' with sweat til it hits the concrete
Every word'll be hot like mercury
Rhyme displays the sunrays every verse'll be
Another roast causes sun strokes
When I get too close the mic smokes
Smokes, burst into flames and I'm about
To get some more St. Ides to put it out
So put it out

St. Ides, St.-St. Ides
St. Ides
St. Ides

Rakim

The God MC, William Michael Griffin Jr. (b. January 28, 1968), known professionally as Rakim, is an American rapper representing the East Coast, hailing from Long Island, New York. Widely regarded as one of hip-hop’s most influential lyricists of all time, Rakim’s pioneering multisyllabic rhyming techniques demonstrated his lyrical superiority and helped cement his legacy.

Prior to his celebrated solo efforts, Rakim served as one half of the hip-hop duo, Eric B. & Rakim. The duo would go on to release a total of four studio albums before separating in 1992. Their 1987 debut album, Paid in Full, became a benchmark within hip-hop and inspired many future rappers, partly due to Rakim’s lyrical proficiency.

Coming off of a five-year hiatus, Rakim released his acclaimed debut solo album, The 18th Letter, in 1997. It is considered by many to be his best album, debuting at #4 on the Billboard 200 charts. Rakim’s 1999 sophomore album, The Master, received mixed reviews—it would be his last studio album for a decade until re-emerging with 2009’s, The Seventh Seal.
