It's Been a Long Time - AHK MIX

This is my tribute to Rakim the best lyricist to ever do it.




It's Been A Long Time

Verse 1.


Follow directions, the streets couldn't wait to mention

Nobody's been this contagious since vinerial infections

you should RUN AND cop this - cuz the WORD on the block is

I'm still one of the hottest blowing up with this ahk shit

They said I flipped my stlye with the flow that I'm spitting

so I kept ripping to put the underground in position

with Confidence, putn your hearts above the fences

to expose you wack emcees that rhyme with no tension

cause old days are returning, old ways of burning

Less the waiting, I make mines no hesitation

Track by track, I keeps my shit in rotation

AHK, keeps it heated, burning mc's steady hating

Brooklyn's Own, well known for no contention

sick with the lessons to stablize connections

back to Crush the competition, how long has it been again

to be in the state of mind that AHKMEL is in?


"It's been a long time.."
".. AHKMEL, on the mic flowing with no assists"
"It's been a long time.."
"It's been a long time.."
".. AHKMEL"


Verse 2.


When I'm out rhyming - either, sizing or freestyling

headz see me climbing and also see me shining

the delay is over, I'm now solid like a bolder

like I told ya, I'll stone ya and make you run to jehovah

I deciphered the flim flam with the mic in my BAD hand

never a challenge, to blow up like a MAD MAN

I'm an Arsonist melting mics and scorching shit

at least one a day when I breathe I be torching shit

In hood fashion, mind of osama bin laden

Never slacking, my minds committed like a captain

Ahkdagods stability, too raw for you to get with me

You know, AHK's got that winning streak Infinity

More bars and phrases than vegas - as I schooled pagans

With my cordless mic, to control their behaviors

never lazy, I'm spitting rhymes crazy

Word up, I'm done with wack rappaz always trying to trace me


"It's been a long time.."
".. AHKMEL, on the mic flowing with no assists"
"It's been a long time.."
".. AHKMEL, on the mic flowing with no assists"
"It's been a long time.."
".. AHKMEL, on the mic flowing with no assists"
"It's been a long time.."
"It's been a long time.."


Verse 3.


When I flow on the mic, I flip styles precise, no hype

too many styles too megabyte when write

corns and frauds still trying to get close when

I step into the arena leaving the bitchniggaz frozen

Riddled men like the sphinx when they heard me rhyme

the only emcee left to embrace the hands of time

the passion of ahkmel should now be on your mind

now that I have your attention undivided line by line

So be aware, listen closely to what you hear

Like, Craig Mack when I'm kicking that flavor in your ear

Books I tear like yellow pages so be scared

every time I spit I penetrate like a spear

Since I came on the scene, always fresh, dip and clean

the first one rocking for delf no team

Still trife with mad shine while I'm on my grind

Where now you can listen to me online, it's been a long time



"It's been a long time.."
"It's been a long time.."
".. AHKMEL, on the mic flowing with no assists"
"It's been a long time.."
".. AHKMEL, on the mic flowing with no assists"
"It's been a long time.."
"It's been a long time.."

"It's been a long time.." {extended scratch}
"It's been a long time.." {extended scratch}
"It's been a long time.."
