Outro (the 18th Letter) - Rakim

[interviewer  possibly Harry Allen] 
What is  the one  main thing that you have 
that you would want people to remember you by? 
Or not one but the  those things that are dear to you 
that you would  want to be remembered as 

[Rakim] 
I guess I guess it's my words man  yaknahmean? 
Just my words  and  if people remember my words they'll remember me forever 
Y'know? God by nature mind raised in Asia  y'know? 
But umm... it's like y'know to live forever you you you gotta 
set y'know, not not set trends but you gotta 
apply yourself a certain way and you gotta do certain things y'know? 
Maybe, maybe when I'm gone twenty years from now 
Somebody might be tellin, tellin they little son 
"Oh yo you think Shorty bad? Yo I 'member this cat way back 
in like nineteen-ninety. Kid named Rakim, bananas." 
YouknowhatI'msayin? If that can happen man, I'm aight man, y'know? 
I got I got I got kids y'know? They gonna umm, finish this for 
me anyway yknahmsayin so regardless, y'know the legacy lives 
But umm as far as the masses just remember my words 
Straight up
