How To Emcee Lyrics - The Seventh Seal - Rakim

Look what yall made me do 

Chorus: 

this is your koran or bible 

to be a true emcee icon or idol 

the contents you put in your songs are vital 

like training for the ufc you want a title 

slam thoughts on a canvas flip em and pin em metaphors and similes and synonyms in em 

spit heat around the town the more you get it heard till you spit at 2000 miles before it hit a curve 

then flood your rhymes and your rap pages word play punch lines and catch phrases 

heat sports with players and ballers new game street talk straight off the corners new slang 

i got heat for crowds for those that pursuit it 

spitters i show you flow till your vocals are through it 

I m showing you freestyle just focus into it 

if you a gee ill show you how to cope when you do it 

Chorus: 

forever sick like catching aids is 

in a class of greatness for magic phrases 

my predicates last for pages every letter fit trend setter like fashion statements 

my quotes get a shrine in the hood forever 

I wrote some of the illest rhymes ever put together 

soon as i make em rappers take em analyze em for days and para phrase em 

Im back hip hoppers 

I back my scripts and documents 

raps hit the block its a wrap its the apocalypse 

the hood give my rap flow names like nine eleven and crack cocaine 

I hit the building it gets hotter in em 

its like birds most rappers dont know how to flip em 

i got hip em get hop and show em how to spit em i bust a rhyme then i school em for for free i scholarship em 

Chorur:song the competition know the deal your not ready now 

because your dealing with the R know how its going down this is it your so sick with your skills your flow goes right in you can kill rap 

its hard since you can flip it isnt it bars its infinite so ra deliver it far different 

hard lyric and part instruments start spitting the articulate yall rhythms get 

till every syllable you drop is pivotal 

its not original its not as memorable 

ill lyrical till hes so popular they sick of you 

pandemic a threat level five its critical 

kill em off with a word like euthanasia 

till it spread to the youth in asia 

in the booth im major my music monumental im a mogul 

you gonna make sense im gonna show you 

you got to put the life in them lines make the deaf hear sight to the make your flow tighter brighter design 

so if the mic is your grind then biting s a crime especially if a ghost writers writing your rhymes. 

Chorus : it don matter if i aint on the page 

you gonna tell me what you want 

i give it to you the way you want it show you how to flow and how to rip any phrase you you want you just keep your eye on me i show you how to emcee 

if its wack ordinary displays you want tell what you want i give it to you the way you want show you how to flow and how to rip any stage you on i can show you how to emcee like i got a degree
