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 reversable
   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 wanna 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 R
   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
