[Intro: Clark Kent]
Where the ladies at?
(Clarkworld, baby)
Uh-huh
It's the R, baby, it's the God, baby
It's the R, baby, it's the God, baby
It's the R, baby, it's the God, baby
It's the R, baby, it's the God, baby

[Verse 1: Rakim]
I got rhymes I love to bust, looking for a club to rush
It's like thugs will rush the illustrious
We all love to touch the voluptuous
It's a must that we lust, plus we love to crush
Women pose, from Timberland's to feminine clothes
Check there portfolios and put 'em in centerfolds
Pen explode, draw crowds respond with yells
I stay calm as hell surrounded by bombshells
Careful as I get near 'em, stand near and compare 'em
Or all girl harem, I'm the man with the serum
Assets, probably dressed but still bear 'em
It seem like they wear 'em, just for me to tear 'em
In quakes, I see more things shake then spring break
It's like a dream state, perfect shape same date
You got a lot to give and look how hot it is
You so provocative and it's your prerogative
Baby, bounce

[Chorus: Clark Kent]
Ladies, nothing but the finest ones
The lavish ones, the ain't hard to find us ones
From the boldest to the shyest ones
Which city got the livest ones?
New York, LA, Atlanta, VA
Miami, DC, tell me!

[Verse 2: Rakim]
Bonjour, baby here go my brochure
Give me a phone call, I'll show you the whole store
It's so raw, I'll have your world in awe
You wanna know how much the whole package go for?
My spectacle, like a festival
It's majestical, special guest for you
Ready to party hard, the party's in yards to the mardi gras
Rap seance, please give you a body massage
Rock jams, have you hot in your pants and nasty
Forbidden dance with me or tickle your fancy?
Let Ra take you on a rendezvous
Couple of days will do if it's okay with you
Deserted isle style, middle of winter with no bed
I'll comfort you like you were Jennifer Lopez
You get what you deserve if I said we swerve
I'll hit more than nerve and that's my every word
Baby, bounce

[Chorus: Clark Kent]
Ladies, nothing but the finest ones
The lavish ones, the ain't hard to find us ones
From the boldest to the shyest ones
Which city got the livest ones?
Houston, Philly
Ladies, nothing but the finest ones
The lavish ones, the ain't hard to find us ones
From the boldest to the shyest ones
Which city got the livest ones?

[Verse 3: Rakim]
Baby, you wake up the next day, lingerie negligee
Give you a sex X-ray before we catch the rays
Let's blaze, a lot more games left to play
While you still amazed from yesterday's escapades
Steadily show my pedigree so thoroughly
To the B-O-N-E, like chemotherapy
Sex and triple X, you ready to wed next
Relax baby, you need plenty of bed rest
You've been a passenger of a high speed crash with a wild style fashioner
Brown skinned ambassador
Chiropractor with a passion
For smashin' your ass like a cardiovascular massacre
You've be through shock heading at your cu-wop
Body so hot, you need a shot from your new doc
With better cures, where's it sore? I'll wet her more
And let it pour from her to head to her pedicures, baby bounce

[Chorus: Clark Kent]
Ladies, nothing but the finest ones
The lavish ones, the ain't hard to find us ones
From the boldest to the shyest ones
Which city got the livest ones?
Detroit, San Fran
Ladies, nothing but the finest ones
The lavish ones, the ain't hard to find us ones
From the boldest to the shyest ones
Which city got the livest ones?
Chi-Town, Boston
Ladies, nothing but the finest ones
The lavish ones, the ain't hard to find us ones
From the boldest to the shyest ones
Which city got the livest ones?
Cleveland, B-More
Ladies, nothing but the finest ones
The lavish ones, the ain't hard to find us one
From the boldest to the shyest ones
Which city got the livest ones?
Orlando, NO

[Outro: Clark Kent]
What, Brooklyn, Uptown
Queens side, Bronx
LI, Stanton Island, NJ, what?
Connecticut, can't forget y'all
Uh-uh, girls e'rywhere, ah ha
Girls, girls, girls, girls, and
Ah, uh-huh, dedicated to the ladies
From Rakim the God across the world
You heard?

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.
