    This was my song in high school - great memories. Very underrated; they took rap to the next level. The whole album is good

    Awesome video, Rakim is one of the best rappers ever. You should make a video for "Follow The Leader".

    Hey, yeah man Rakim is awesome. Underrated if anything. We'll definitely put something together if we can get clearance to use the track - would love to have a few more Eric B & Rakim videos on the channel.

    Yo Rakim, what's up?
    Yo, I'm doing the knowledge, E., man I'm trying to get paid in full
    Well, check this out, since Norby Walters is our agency, right?
    True
    Kara Lewis is our agent, word up
    Zakia and 4th and Broadway is our record company, indeed
    Okay, so who we rollin' with then? We rollin' with Rush
    Of Rushtown Management
    Check this out, since we talking over
    This def beat right here that I put together
    I wanna hear some of them def rhymes, you know what I'm sayin'?
    And together, we can get paid in full
    Thinkin' of a master plan
    'Cuz ain't nuthin' but sweat inside my hand
    So I dig into my pocket, all my money is spent
    So I dig deeper but still comin' up with lint
    So I start my mission, leave my residence
    Thinkin' how could I get some dead presidents
    I need money, I used to be a stick-up kid
    So I think of all the devious things I did
    I used to roll up, this is a hold up, ain't nuthin' funny
    Stop smiling, be still, don't nuthin' move but the money
    But now I learned to earn 'cuz I'm righteous
    I feel great, so maybe I might just
    Search for a nine to five, if I strive
    Then maybe I'll stay alive
    So I walk up the street whistlin' this
    Feelin' out of place 'cuz, man, do I miss
    A pen and a paper, a stereo, a tape of
    Me and Eric B, and a nice big plate of
    Fish, which is my favorite dish
    But without no money it's still a wish
    'Cuz I don't like to dream about gettin' paid
    So I dig into the books of the rhymes that I made
    So now to test to see if I got pull
    Hit the studio, 'cuz I'm paid in full
    Rakim, check this out, yo
    You go to your girl house and I'll go to mine
    'Cause my girl is definitely mad
    'Cause it took us too long to do this album
    Yo, I hear what you're saying
    So let's just pump the music up
    And count our money
    Yo, well check this out, yo Eli
    Turn down the bass down
    And let the beat just keep on rockin'
    And we outta here
    Yo, what happened to peace?
    Peace
