Eric B. & Rakim lyrics Set 'Em Straight lyrics [Rakim] I came to set em straight, and let em know Whoever's holdin the best, just let him go Cause here's the inside scoop on the fiend They wanna know why I'm seldom seen Cause who needs the TV screens and magazines or shootin through the city in fly limousines There's one thing I don't like, it's the spotlight .. cause I already got light They be like, ";Yo we had a get together last week and we know everyone was there except the Black Sheik"; Because my schedule is tight, I gotta write I'm deep in the archives, and keepin em hyped It's been a long time, since you heard a strong rhyme None of these are weak so when you bite on mine we can trace the hits and then name that style MC'sll be out of a job for a while I reposess your indentification So hand in your application Put your mic on strike until you're unemployed Contract is up and I'm stampin it void Your selection ain't that selective So I'ma put you in your proper perspective On the dancefloor, and doin the SHAKE Ready to let em brake, set em straight [Rakim] Somebody said I set em up and pulled the plug on em But instead I let em go on so I could bug on em Go 'head and flow, cause I close the show Swing a song for the ladies and rhyme real slow For instance.. once I commence.. .. the crowd is convinced So now you know who to put your money on Hurry up, before your money's gone Cause I'm the most common denominator Orchestrate a rhyme much greater I'm like a world almanac, so tell the media Givin em information like encyclopedia So bring a dictionary, so you can look it up so you know what I mean, when I hook it up No misconceptions although I complicate but this concept'll set em straight They even said that I was locked in jail So now I guess I'm out on bail? The only Island I was on was the Strong one And if I did my bid, it'll be a long one Cause if I sold weight, I'd be upstate in the penile, waitin for a brake Cause sellin drugs is for handicaps I got too many skills besides bustin rough raps If I go to jail, it won't be for sellin ki's It'll be for muderin MC's The beat'll take over your heart, then I start to cut em in half, cause rhymes are razor sharp Secure the exits, all MC's remain Cause we got a crowd to entertain And I know, when I go, I'll flow dangerous Brain'sll bust, what you tryin to explain to us? You got lost, and couldn't go on Came up short, so here's one to grow on Elevate off a high IQ In time, you'll find I'm true Cause once I start on a piece of art from sun to moon and light to dark I build the Ark Now you can float off the rhymes I wrote I'm sure that we'll hit shore without a boat You could bring a battleship and still get shipwrecked Attacked with a torpedo, what did you expect? Driftin up the creek, without a beat or a paddle Castaway on a raft and stand fragile Rescue your crowd, which ain't a hard job Me and my knowledge put together, I'm a lifeguard Dealin with actual facts it sold out fat here and now, but I go so far back to bring you up to date, so we can elevate It's no time to wait, or anticipate Cause I'm never late, I'm gonna motivate So I can let em brake, and set em straight Other Eric B. & Rakim lyrics: Chinese Arithmetic lyrics Eric B. is on the Cut lyrics Extended Beat lyrics I Ain't No Joke lyrics I Know You Got Soul lyrics Move the Crowd lyrics As the Rhyme Goes On lyrics My Melody lyrics Paid in Full lyrics Beats for the Listeners lyrics Eric B.
