Lyrics

Untouchables

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

This is poetry in motion

Try to catch on, stay close to the host

and MC's try to make the road rough but I'm coastin

Ladies hear the rhymes rub em on like lotion

Hit spots soothin, can't stop movin

Go ahead bust a sweat and you can bet I'm still coolin

When I detain it's a brainstorm

never the same form, every brain I rained on is warm

Takin a trip through Memory Lane to Melody

See if you could tell if these thoughts to fell MC's

could do you justice, but you can't touch this

Some kid just tried to bust this but he just missed

I'm universal and much more merciful

So versatile with the style it's reversable

I get away even if I say a curse or two

First, let me bust another verse for you

Your arms too short to box with Ra so quit

You don't want no kind of conflict

Or you'll get stripped as the rhyme is ripped

Pick up the pieces now ain't that peace yeah I'm hip

Everything I said flows since my intro

I plant a thought extend and then grow

Holdin my pen tightly it might be

Controversy at first when I write the

chords of research don't just take it for granted

When I'm gone my mind remains a planet

If I keep buildin, and teach the children

So when they read in between the lines it's filled in

I break to meditate, not a peep, concentrate

till I'm deep awake, but not asleep

At the same time risin and advertisin

what is true, keep advised and you can stay wise

and I'm untouchable

Comin over the bridge take a peak at the skyline

Cause that's how I shine not only when I rhyme

My culture's makin me stronger, mentally

Physically I'm powerful poetry now that could be

labelled as art placed in a museum

Style'll make scenery, now you see 'em

Exhibit a knowledge that's packed and filled with

nothin illiterate it's facts I build with

My mind's untouchable which means intangible

Contents never dense it's understandable

I study life so I can live it the right way

No time to hear what another brother might say

Why sell a capsule of crack I don't have to

I rhyme and sign million dollar contracts to

put message on records that's graced with hard bass

Smugglin microphones, this ain't Scarface

Whoever talked that talk, I wanna hawk

And don't try to Escape From New York

Cross a 110th Street lookin for a problem

It's Hell Up In Harlem, watch Ra solve em

I hear the music clear as I get near

the hundred and twenty fifth street Apollo Theater

Take a step back when I rap I step up to you...

I'm untouchable

Put on my thinking cap pump the track

Test your reflex relax but in contact

you fold and lose control so hold your partner closer

you're supposed to keep your composure

But you hear the drum said go then it gets so hype

it's like nitro opponents get petro

Remember the trademark left by the R

that's never soft or smooth it's comin off the hardest

in effect, you could die-tect the imposter

Takin my props, Rakim is still proper

I'm a prophet, you can't stop it, when I drop it

Everything I say, coincide with the topic

Thoughts bounce around till my skull is fractured

Inside my brain it's all manufactured

As we go deeper it's hard to find

Don't even think about it, cause you can't read my mind

It's clear so therefore you need a ear or inclined

in the mind with some kind of idea for

the style I'm advertisin what is true

Keep advised that you stay wise and the mind

is untouchable
