Verse 1

BEATS BEGIN TO PLAY

MSJ ON THE 7D FADE

BRING IN THE HIMALAY

WHERE WE AT?

POHARA, NEPAL

PERPETUAL WONDER WELCOMES YOU ALL

WE'VE ALL EVOLVED

TO CONTEMPLATE THE FORCES INVOLVED

ANYWHERE YOU'RE HEADING TO

THE SNAKE TRIES TO ENVENOM YOU

DON'T GET INTO

LETTING HIM THINK THAT HE'S BETTER THAN YOU

THAT'S PHOENIX STAR

RIDING A CUSTOMIZED ZMR

SEE FROM FAR

THER'RE NO BARCODES ON THESE 16 BARS

'CAUSE SOME OF US DO THIS

FOR THE REAL LOVE OF THE MUSIC

DON'T CONFUSE IT

I BET YOU WILL

SO TIME TO PROVE IT

WE USE TO PERFORM

RIGHT THRU THE BLIZZARDS AND STORMS

THE MIC WAS THE BOTTLE

IF THE THROTTLE WASN'T ON

SO KEEP IT MOVIN'

CLOCKS TICKING THE BEAT IS SOOTHING

MY FLOW'S OFFICIAL B-BOY

BOOMBOX THESE TRACKS AND KEEP BOOMIN

PRACTICE PATIENCE AND PERSISTENCE

TO GO THE DISTANCE

TIME AND NATURE RULE OVER ALL EXISTENCE

IN JUST AN INSTANCE

THIS TRACK IS BRILLIANT

INFACT IT MIGHT ATTRACT

SOME MILLIONS

AND IF IT DON'T

MY PACK OF WOLVES GONNA STAY RESILIENT

IT ONLY TAKES A MINUTE

TO WONDER ON TO INFINITE

TRY TO UNDERSTAND MY RHYMES

AND SEE THE SANDS OF TIME IN IT

SO IF YOU FIND THIS

ON A REWIND LIST

EVERY SECOND THAT YOU LISTEN TO

DEFINES ITS DIVINENESS

SIGNATURE SOUND

LIKE I GOT SOMETHING BEHIND THIS

I HATE IT WHEN THE BEAT IS TIGHT

AND GOT ME FEELING RHYMELESS

chorus 1 REPEATS X 4

RAKIM :

"TIMELESS

SO AGE DON'T COUNT IN THE BOOTH

WHEN YOUR FLOW STAYS SUBMERGED

IN THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH"

Verse 2

PART SCIENTIST PART ARTIST

I WENT THE FARTHEST I COULD AND DID MY HARDEST

LEARNED DETERMINATION BRINGS THE HARVEST

FAR FROM THE SMARTEST

OVERTURN OVERCOME HARDSHIP

WISH I COULD FLY AROUND THE WORLD

ON A MAGIC CARPET

RISE!

SONGS BLARE OUT WHEN PHOENIX CRIES

WITH THE SON OF THE WIND

LIGHT THE FIRE

POWER BEGINS

KNOWLEDGE FROM THE MASTERS

PASSED ON BURNING TORCHES

IN SUPREME SORCEROR COURSES

AND CONVERSATIONS ON PORCHES

BETTER THAN I'VE EVER BEEN

THINGS JUST WONT BE THE SAME

NOW THAT I SEE THINGS CLEARER

LIKE DOCTOR STEVEN STRANGE

LET ME SHOW YOU HOW TO

EARN MORE THAN FIGURES AND COMMAS

DO GOOD DEEDS, GOOD KARMA

CALL IT WHAT YOU WANNA!

SAYING IT MEANS NOTHING IF ITS NOT HONORED

'CAUSE WHEN NATURE COMES BACK FOR WHAT IT WANTS

IT COMES ARMORED

GOTTA PASSION FOR LEARNING

I FASHION WHIRLWINDS

THAT FIT WHOLE WORLDS IN

LEARN TO RUN TOWARDS NEW LIFE

LESSEN YOUR BURDENS

I FOLD CREASES

CREATE TRACKS FROM PUZZLE PIECES

DROP TRANSFORMER RHYMES

REARRANGE 'EM INTO MASTERPIECES

I'LL SMASH THE RINGS OF SATURN

BETWEEN BEAT PATTERNS

LOAD IT ALL INTO A THUMBDRIVE

THEN DRIVE AROUND MANHATTAN

THE NATURE OF LOVE IS MANKIND

I CAN FEEL IT WHEN MY DAUGHTER'S HAND'S IN MINE

AND ESPECIALLY WHEN COMBINED

HIP HOP ELEMENTS SHINE

SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME

IT'S A QUEST TO CONQUER THE INTERNAL NATURE

MASTER YOUR MIND

Chorus 2 (REPEATS X 4)

RAKIM:

"TIMELESS

SO AGE DON'T COUNT IN THE BOOTH

WHEN YOUR FLOW STAYS SUBMERGED

IN THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH"
