This is poetry in motion 
Try to catch on  stay close to the host 
And MC's try to make the road rough but I'm coastin 
Ladies hear the rhymes rub em on like lotion 

Hit spots soothin  can't stop movin 
Go ahead bust a sweat and you can bet I'm still coolin 
When I detain it's a brainstorm 
Never the same form  every brain I rained on is warm 

Takin a trip through Memory Lane to Melody 
See if you could tell if these thoughts to fell MC's 
Could do you justice, but you can't touch this 
Some kid just tried to bust this but he just missed 

I'm universal and much more merciful 
So versatile with the style it's reversible 
I get away even if I say a curse or two 
First, let me bust another verse for you 

Your arms too short to box with Ra so quit 
You don't want no kind of conflict 
Or you'll get stripped as the rhyme is ripped 
Pick up the pieces now ain't that peace yeah I'm hip 

Everything I said flows since my intro 
I plant a thought extend and then grow 
Holdin' my pen tightly it might be 
Controversy at first when I write the 

Chords of research don't just take it for granted 
When I'm gone my mind remains a planet 
If I keep buildin, and teach the children 
So when they read in between the lines it's filled in 
I break to meditate, not a peep, concentrate 
Till I'm deep awake, but not asleep 
At the same time risin and advertisin 

What is true, keep advised and you can stay wise 
And I'm untouchable 

Comin' over the bridge take a peak at the skyline 
'Cause that's how I shine not only when I rhyme 
My culture's makin me stronger, mentally 
Physically I'm powerful poetry now that could be 

Labelled as art placed in a museum 
Style'll make scenery, now you see 'em 
Exhibit a knowledge that's packed and filled with 
Nothin illiterate it's facts I build with 

My mind's untouchable which means intangible 
Contents never dense it's understandable 
I study life so I can live it the right way 
No time to hear what another brother might say 

Why sell a capsule of crack I don't have to 
I rhyme and sign million dollar contracts to 
Put message on records that's graced with hard bass 
Smugglin' microphones, this ain't Scarface 

Whoever talked that talk, I want to hawk 
And don't try to Escape From New York 
Cross a 110th Street lookin for a problem 
It's Hell Up In Harlem, watch Ra solve em 

I hear the music clear as I get near 
The hundred and twenty fifth street Apollo Theater 
Take a step back when I rap I step up to you... 
I'm untouchable 

Put on my thinking cap pump the track 
Test your reflex relax but in contact 
You fold and lose control so hold your partner closer 
You're supposed to keep your composure 

But you hear the drum said go then it gets so hype 
It's like nitro opponents get petro 
Remember the trademark left by the are 
That's never soft or smooth it's comin off the hardest 

In effect, you could die-tect the imposter 
Takin my props, Rakim is still proper 
I'm a prophet, you can't stop it, when I drop it 
Everything I say, coincide with the topic 

Thoughts bounce around till my skull is fractured 
Inside my brain it's all manufactured 
As we go deeper it's hard to find 
Don't even think about it, cause you can't read my mind 

It's clear so therefore you need a ear or inclined 
In the mind with some kind of idea for 
The style I'm advertisin what is true 
Keep advised that you stay wise and the mind 

Is untouchable
