Eric B. & Rakim No Omega lyrics

I'm the alpha, with no omega
Beginning without the end so play the
Eye inside, no extended version
Next episode be smooth as a Persian

Rhyme everlastin', there'll be no part two
Knowledge is infinite, once I start to draw
A better picture for your third eye, if you're blind
You know with a mic, I'm a black Michelangelo

I'm the brother whose ideas are colorful
Givin' 'em insight, but givin' 'em trouble to
Comprehend 'cause they thoughts won't blend in
They're pretendin', while I'm extendin'

You bite like a parasite, static when you attach
But you won't strike, 'cause you ain't no match
You need more light 'cause yours got dim
Then you get sparked by the Lord Rakim

What's the matter G, check your battery
Go get charged up, then come battle me
You try hard and Die Hard, you ain't Eveready
When they check the pulse, you'll be dead as Freddie

Shop at Sears for new ideas
Check your engine and ask your engineers
To equalize, try to disguise it
If that don't work yo, then mid-asize it

You need more power, better bring Battle-Cat
But this ain't Grayskull, and you ain't rippin' jack
Don't drop the mic and jet for your tooley
(Bring it to me)

We can go rhyme for rhyme 'til the mic stop the workin'
Then I'ma leave you behind the Iron Curtain
And you'll remain backstage
Your book is over, I ripped your last page

Changed the endin', at least you went out rappin'
Now I'ma tell 'em what happened
I filled the mic with explosives, and lit it up
It was too heavy to hold, he couldn't pick it up

Pass the mic, let him try to get paid
He hit the stage, it went off like a hand grenade
Now scrape him off the floor and off my list
I ain't a soloist, I'm an arsonist

Sprayed up, he said he was gonna do what?
Played up, MC Grand, Pooh-Butt
Stole his lady, and drove her crazy
You asked me why 'cause her man tried to play me

I sent her back a nervous wreck
and tried to put her back in check
My specialty is masterin' the female species
I specialize in her, until she sees

Where I come from, and why I came

I tame and train 'til she manifest my name
Fill her with life until she burst with energy
Then leave her restless, 'cause a lot of women be

Tryin' to drain us, and leave us drip-dry
Put holes in our pocket, but you ain't that fly
I'll clip your wings and bring you down to Earth
And tell you what life is worth

It ain't rings and things that's materialistic
You wanna pip on, imperialist with
food for thought, 'cause I'm the shelter
I'll be your clothes, keep you warm and help ya

Not to be hot to trot by a haunt
And why do y'all got to flaunt?
(You gotta use what you got
To get what you want)

Cool, I heat you up like a black mink coat
Hug your neck like a fat gold rope
Words I speak and my DJ's cuts will warm ya ears
Like mink earmuffs

So Eric show 'em how fast your hands'll go
So the people in the stands'll know
That you don't scratch, your cuts engrave
Moves in waves to my rhyme displays

Float, evoke, my tempo jets
Expressions express when you kick steps
Keep 'em, energetic, so let it
Pound in your head 'til what I said is embedded

Don't forget it's cop-acetic, set it
Anywhere you want your poetry's pathetic
You gets no credit 'til you get it straight
Let's motivate

No intermissions 'cause it ain't commercial
If you wanna break then I'll reimburse you
I won't let go so my mic won't drop,'cause
(I can't stop)

Vocabs is endless, vocals exist
Rhyme goes on, so no one can stop this
Especially when I start to say the
Rhymes with no omega

No omega, no omega

(I can't stop, I can't stop
I can't stop, I can't stop
I can't stop, I can't stop)

(I can't stop, I can't stop
I can't stop, I can't stop
I can't stop, I can't stop)
