It's Been A Long Time (已有很长时间) - Linkin Park (林肯公园)

It's been a long time

It's been a long time

It's been a long time

It's been a long time

Rakim the microphone soloist

Follow procedures the crowd couldn't wait to see this

Nobody been this long awaited since Jesus

Who wouldn't believe this I heard the word on the street is

I'm still one of the deepest on the mic since Adidas

They said I changed the times from the rhymes that I thought of

So I made some more to put the New World in Order

With Mathematics put your status above the average

And help you rappers make paragraphs with graphics

Cause new days is dawning new ways of performing

Brainstorming I write and watch the night turn to morning

On and on and I got the whole world responding

Ra I keep it hot and blow the spot without warning

The Emperor well known for inventing a sentence

Full of adventure turning up the temperature

Rush with adrenaline how long has it been again

To be in the state of mind that Rakim is in

It's been a long time

Rakim the microphone soloist

It's been a long time

It's been a long time

Rakim

When I'm out propping either hanging or shopping

People see me stop and ask me when the album dropping

The wait is over in formation like a soldier

Like I told ya greater stronger now that I'm older

I broke the code of silence with overloads of talents

My only challenge is not to explode in violence

I'm Asiatic and blazing microphones a habit

At least once during the course of a day it's automatic

In ghetto apparel mind of a Egyptian Pharoah

Far from shallow thoughts travel like an arrow

Allah's monotony so far they can't stop me

You know Ra want property like Muammar Qaddafi

More thoughts than Bibles recital taught disciples

A sawed off mic so words scatter like a rifle

Thoughts that's trifle I'm busting these for you

Aiyyo technical difficulties is through

It's been a long time

Rakim the microphone soloist

It's been a long time

Rakim the microphone soloist

It's been a long time

Rakim the microphone soloist

It's been a long time

It's been a long time

When I flow tonight I show them new heights I go to write

They know I strike with new prototypes to blow the mic

Critics and biters don't know where my source of light is

Still leave authors and writers with arthritis

Cursed kids like the Pyramids when they found the style

First to ever let a rhyme flow down the Nile

The rebirth of hip hop'll be dropped now

Cause the crowd didn't hear the original in a while

So be alarmed what you about to see is the bomb

Like 3 D in 'Nam vivid like CD Rom

Info kept like internet.com

My note book's my bond like the Holy Qu'ran

Since I came in the door said it before

But no I ain't down with Eric B. no more

At night the open mic be inviting me to rhyme

So yo I'm online it's been a long time

It's been a long time

It's been a long time

Rakim the microphone soloist

It's been a long time

Rakim the microphone soloist

It's been a long time

It's been a long time

It's been a long time

It's been a long time
