I Know You Got Soul Lyrics – Eric B. & Rakim

Singer: Eric B. & Rakim
Title: I Know You Got Soul

It’s been a long time, I shouldn’t have left you
Without a strong rhyme to step to
Think of how many weak shows you slept through
Time’s up, I’m sorry I kept you

Thinking of this, you keep repeating, you miss
The rhymes from the microphone soloist
So you sit by the radio, hand on the dial, soon
As you hear it, pump up the volume

Dance with the speaker till you hear it blow
Then plug in the headphone ’cause here it go
It’s a four letter word when it’s heard, it control
Your body to dance (You got it) soul

Ditects the tempo like a red alert
Reaches your reflex, and let it work
When this is playing, you can’t get stuck with
The steps, so get set and I’m a still come up with

A gift to be swift, follow the leader, the rhyme will go
Def with the record that was mixed a long time ago
It can be done but only I can do it
For those that can’t dance, just clap your hands to it

I start to think and then I sink
Into the paper like I was ink
When I’m writing, I’m trapped in between the lines
I escape when I finish the rhyme…

I got soul
You got it
You got it
You got it

You got it
I know you got soul
Picture a mic, the stage is empty
A beat like this might tempt me

To pose, show my rings and my fat gold chain
Grab the mic like I’m on Soul Train
But I wait cause I mastered this
Let the others go first so the brothers don’t miss

Eric B. break the sticks (you got it)
Rakim will begin when you make the mix
I’ll experiment like a scientist
You wanna rhyme, you gotta sign my list

Cause I’m a manifest and bless the mic I hold
You want it next? then you gotta have soul
Cause if you ain’t got it, I’m a make an encore
Take the mic, make the people respond for

The R, cause that’s the way it’ll have to be
If you wanna get on after me
Think about it, wait, erase your rhyme
Forget it and don’t waste your time

Cause I’ll be in the crowd if you ain’t controlling it
Drop the mic, you shouldn’t be holding it
This is how it should be done
This style is identical to none

Some try to make it sound like this but you’re getting me
So upset that I’m wet cause you’re sweating me
I drip steam like a microphone fiend
Eager to MC is my theme

I get hype when I hear a drum roll
Rakim is on the mic and you know I got soul
You got it
You got it

You got it
You got it
I got soul (you got it) that’s why I came
To teach those who can’t say my name

First of all, I’m the soloist, the soul controller
Rakim gets stronger as I get older
Constant elevation causes expansion
I write my rhymes while I cool in my mansion

Then put it on tape and in the city I test it
Then on the radio the R is requested
You listen to it, the concept might break you
Cause almost anyone can relate to

Whoever’s out of hand, I’ma give ’em handles
Light ’em up, blow ’em out like candles
Or should I just let ’em melt?
Then give ’em a hand so they can see how it felt

I’m not bold just ’cause I rock gold
Rakim is on the mic, and you know I got soul
You got it
You got it

You got it
You got it
Now I’m a stop to see what you got
Get off the mic before I get too hot

I want to see which posse can dance the best
It should be easy cause the beat is fresh
Now if you’re from Uptown, Brooklyn-bound
The Bronx, Queens, and Long Island Sound

Even other states come right and exact
It ain’t where you’re from, it’s where you’re at
Since you came here, you have to show and prove
And do that dance until it don’t move

Cause all you need is soul self-esteem will release
The rest is up to you, Rakim’ll say peace
You got it
You got it

You got it
You got it
You got it
You got it

You got it
You got it
You got it
You got it

You got it
You got it
