Make, make, make 'em, make 'em clap to this

To show our appreciation for your support

Make, make, make 'em, make 'em clap to this

Thank you DJs

Fun-, fun-, fun-, fun-, funky, fun-

Everybody get

Make 'em clap to this

Make, make 'em clap, make 'em clap to this

Make 'em, make 'em clap to this

Make, make, make 'em, make 'em clap to this

I came in the door, I said it before

I never let the mic magnetize me no more

But it's bitin' me, fightin' me, invitin' me to rhyme

I can't hold it back, I'm looking for the line

Takin' off my coat, clearin' my throat

The rhyme will be kickin', until I hit my last note

My mind remains refined, all kind of ideas

Self-esteem, makes it seem, like a thought took years to build

But still say a rhyme after the next one

Prepared, never scared, I'll just bless one

And you know that I'm the soloist

So Eric B. make 'em clap to this

Make, make, make 'em, make 'em clap to this

Make, make, make 'em, make 'em clap to this

Make 'em, make 'em, make 'em, clap, make 'em clap, make 'em clap to this

Make 'em clap to this

(Clap your hands)

(Clap your hands)

Make, make, make 'em, make 'em clap to this

(Clap your, clap your, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap)

I don't bug out or chill, or be actin' ill

No tricks in '86, it's time to build

Eric be easy on the cut, no mistakes allowed

Cause to me, MC means move the crowd

I made it easy to dance to this

But can you detect, what's comin' next, from the flex of the wrist?

Say indeed, then I proceed, 'cause my man made a mix

If he bleed he won't need no band-aid to fix

His fingertips sew a rhyme until there's no rhymes left

I hurry up because the cut'll make 'em bleed to death

But he's kicking it, 'cause it ain't no half steppin'

The party is live, the rhyme can't be kept in-

Side, it needs eruptin', just like a volcano

It ain't the everyday style, or the same ol' rhyme

'Cause I'm better than the rest of them

Eric B is on the cut, and my name is Rakim

Make 'em, make 'em clap to this

Make 'em, make 'em, make 'em clap to this

(Special mix)

(Special mix, mix)

Make 'em, make 'em, make 'em clap to this

Make 'em, make 'em clap to this, make 'em clap, make 'em clap, make, make, make 'em, make 'em clap to this

Make, make, make 'em, make 'em, make 'em, make 'em clap, make 'em

Go get a girl and get soft and warm

Don't get excited, you've been invited to a quiet storm

But now it's out of hand 'cause you told me you hate me

And then you ask what have I done lately

First you said all you want is love and affection

Let me be your angel, and I'll be your protection

Take you out, buy you all kinds of things

Make 'em, make 'em, make 'em clap to this

You caught a attitude, you need food to eat up

I'm scheming like I'm dreaming on a couch with my feet up

You scream I'm lazy, you must be crazy

Thought I was a donut, you tried to glaze me

Make 'em, make 'em clap to this

Make 'em, make 'em clap to this

Make 'em, make 'em clap to this

Make 'em, make 'em clap, make 'em clap, make 'em clap to this

Make 'em, make 'em, make 'em clap to this

Make 'em, make 'em, make 'em clap to this

Make 'em, make 'em clap, make 'em clap, make 'em clap

Make, make, make, make, make 'em, make 'em clap to this

I made it easy to dance to this

But can you detect, what's comin' next, from the flex of the wrist?

Say indeed, then I'll proceed, 'cause my man made a mix

If he bleed he won't need no band-aid to fix

Eric, Eric B. is on the cut

Eric B. is on the cut

Eric B. is on the cut, and my name is Rakim
