[Rakim] 
Me and the rap's laid back 
Nonchalant and relaxed in the track 
Put together well  so it ain't hard to tell 
Easy to recognize  so my records'll sell 
On the microphone  well known with a low tone 
Show and prove when the stage show is shown 
All you hear is screams when I'm hit by the laser beams 
Ladies fiend  rappers are choosin up teams 
So who could beat up  just before we meet up 
Before I kick a rhyme, I kick my feet up 
to let you know, everything's under control 
Under surveillance, takin over your soul 
So let me handle this, gettin scandalous 
All my jams are hits, never plan to miss 
Crowd is captured, released at my permission 
Peep em, as I, keep em eager to listen 

[Rakim] 
Opponents are found paralyzed from the mic down 
Left with a little sight ears still hear the sound 
Try to clear your mind but it's still there 
Give him about a year, then give him a wheelchair 
I damage and deteriorate, til your brain dead 
No huss cuss what I discuss'll bust his head 
Here's some hearin aids when your eardrums fail 
You get scars, so you could read it in braille 
Close your third eye, then I do body work 
And I keep the same procedure til somebody's hurt 
My DJ'll sew up cuts like an M.D. 
And I still move crowds like an M.C. 
Entertain and tear you out of your frame 
Leave you in a puddle of blood, then let it rain 
Then I get deep, so try to withstand 
on my level to think, or sink like quicksand 
He couldn't hang, so I cut the rope short 
Watchin em fall, cause they need more support 
This is the way that I done, all of my competition 
Peep em, as I, keep em eager to listen 

Keep em eager to listen 

[Rakim] 
The performance I give em is, somethin like a hypnotism 
Swingin back and forth, til you can keep the rhythm 
At the tone of my voice, you will become 
eager to listen dance in a trance til you see the 
are on stage, no cheers, all ears 
All three of your eyes on me, so it appears 
just like you thought it would be, but even better 
Live and direct on stage, instead of the 
radio or video or studio rehearsin 
I'm at my best in the flesh in person 
The main attraction, center of attention 
The crowd'll go crazy, soon as I mention 
it's time to communicate, so let's conversate 
I get my point across, when you respond I make sense 
So now we could continue the mission 
As I, keep em eager to listen 

As I, keep em eager to listen 

[Rakim] 
I used to always say one day 
I'll play in the NBA cause I'll slay 
opponents well, and also excel 
as a black quarterback in the NFL 
I throw to score so I can hear the crowd roar 
Keep em, out of they seats and on the floor 
And when I win, it'll pump my adrenaline 
My record is undefeated, and I'll win again 
I'll never lose or hear boos from the audience 
cause they participate, and applaud me since 
I bring em what they want to hear 
And they'll fill up the atmopshere 
with people that came to party, and have a good time 
So when I'm gone, I'm sure, you understood the rhyme 
Because I promise to accomplish the mission 
Cause I, keep em eager to listen
