Untouchables Lyrics by Eric B. & Rakim

Untouchables Lyrics

    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
