Lyrics Rakim – New York To Cali
Text:
I come again phono again when the drama come in synonyms don’t wanna end Rakims gonna win, always seem to come out at the right time wit the right rhymes smooth in the day it sound rough at night time jus an echo (an echo), in the ghetto, meadow and valley, side street and alley, from New York to Cali, I been seen in every state and between on stage, they scream every phrase I leave the city in a rage its on to the next one to bless one, thats my proceedure, leave ya in a deeper mind state than anestesia, ya catch a seizure if you try to stop the great, when I operate, jus let the crowd please ya drop the weight, jus wanna us in gear, from everyone from here to there, ideas that ya hear, severe to the ear never the less I provide a world wide request and manifest and this from the east to the west….
From New York to Cali (to Cali, to Cali) coast to coast I been rippen coliseums and clubs,
From New York to Cali (to Cali, to Cali) rhymin over dubs for thugs girls blow me kisses and throw me hugs,
Musical rise I memorize in my mental interprise
fashinal design the shine the international kind start the rhyme time to motor, irreversable format, adapt, to wherever ya liven at from all four corners of the mat whenever they play it it gets interpretated hip hop related, already dedicated keep it heavy populated, attract everybody that could rock, do a block party make it look like woodstock, yea, Rakim allah, nothin simi-lar to my siminar they travel never far plus thats where the women are, I like to ask em «what’s the best time to hear me rhyme?»
never the less I provide a worldwide request and manifest, and this is from the east to the west….
From New York to Cali (to Cali, to Cali) coast to coast I been rippen coliseums and clubs,
From New York to Cali (to Cali, to Cali) rhymin over dubs for thugs girls blow me kisses and throw me hugs,
Coast to coast I been rippen coliseums and clubs rhymin over dubs for thugs girls blow me kisses and throw me hugs,
a sporadic concert on stage I got classics, which means my smash hits wont age, and sing along I bring a song I be swingin long we can do a thing till dawn I came to bring it on on tour, stoppin all the records stores across the nation, flow at the radio station to show appreciation, retreats for the streets, peace for the jeeps and reach incredible feets to get deep for my peeps, props for the unorthodox style I got they couldn’t wait for me to drop move stock fo’ the block, strong kick cassette decks, walkmen headsets I come off, fly concepts is high tech my first display is to converse wit the days and slam thats why the man first jam still play,
so tell the neighbor hoods I got the goods again, its Rakim then again thats how it should have been, never the less I provide a worldwide request and manifest and this is from the east to the west…..
From New York to Cali (to Cali, to Cali) coast to coast I been rippen coliseums and clubs,
