    Well, I'll be please to translate it, but it's quite difficult to me without the lyrics, because in some parts of the song I just can't catch what he's saying!!!
    If someone find the lyrics and post it here, or someone who understand English well can transcript it, I won't have problem to translate it to Spanish.

    Here is the song...

    It's been a long time, i shouldn't have left you
    Without a strong rhyme to step to
    Think of how many weak shows you slept through
    Time's up, i'm sorry i kept you
    Thinking of this, you keep repeating you miss
    The rhymes from the microphone soloist
    And you sit by the radio, hand on the dial, soon
    As you hear it, pump up the volume
    Dance wit the speaker 'till you hear it blow,
    Then plug in the headphone 'cause here it go
    It's a 4 letter word when it's heard, it control
    Your body to dance (you got it) soul,
    Ditects the tempo like a red alert
    Reaches your reflex, so let it work
    When this is playing, you can't get stuck wit
    The steps, so get set and i'm a still come up wit
    A gift to be swift, follow the leader, the rhyme will go
    Def wit the record that was mixed a long time ago
    It can be done but only i can do it
    For those that can dance and clap your hands to it
    I start to think and then i sink
    Into the paper like i was ink
    When i'm writing, i'm trapped in between the lines,
    I escape when i finish the rhyme...
    I got soul

    You got it (4x)
    I know you got soul

    Picture a mic, the stage is empty
    A beat like this might tempt me
    To pose, show my rings and my fat gold chain
    Grab the mic like i'm on soul train
    But i'll wait 'cause i mastered this
    Let the others go first so the brothers don't miss
    Eric b. break the sticks (you got it)
    Rakim will begin when you make the mix
    I'll experiment like a scientist
    You wanna rhyme, you gotta sign my list
    'cause i'm a manifest and bless the mic i hold
    You want it next? then you gotta have soul
    'cause if you ain't got it, i'm a make an encore
    Take the mic, make the people respond for
    The r, 'cause that's the way it'll have to be
    If you wanna get on after me
    Think about it, wait, erase your rhyme
    Forget it and don't waste your time
    'cause i'll be in the crowd if you ain't controlling it
    Drop the mic, you shouldn't be holding it
    This is how it should be done
    This style is identical to none
    Some try to make it sound like this but you're getting me
    So upset that i'm wet 'cause you're sweating me
    I drip steam like a microphone fiend
    Eager to mc is my theme
    I get hype when i hear a drum roll
    Rakim is on the mic and you know i got soul

    You got it (5x)

    I got soul (you got it) that's why i came
    To teach those who can't say my name
    First of all, i'm the soloist, the soul controller
    Rakim gets stronger as i get older
    Constant elevation causes expansion
    I write my rhyme while i cool in my mansion
    Then put it on tape and in the city i test it
    Then on the radio the r's requested
    You listen to it, the concept might break you
    'cause almost anyone can relate to...
    Whoever's out of hand, i'm give him handles
    Light 'em up, blow 'em out like candles
    Or should i just let him melt?
    Then give him a hand so they can see how it felt
    I'm not bold just cuz i rock gold
    Rakim is on the mic and you know i got soul

    You got it (4x)

    Now i'm a stop to see what you got
    Get off the mic before i get too hot
    I want to see which posse can dance the best
    It should be easy 'cause the beat is fresh
    Now if your from uptown, brooklyn- bound,
    The bronx, queens, or long island sound,
    Even other states come right and exact,
    It ain't where you're from, it's where you're at
    Since you came here, you have to show and prove
    And do that dance until it don't move
    'cause all you need is soul self-esteem will release,
    The rest is up to you, rakim 'll say peace

    You got it

    I got soul (you got it) that's why i came
    To teach those who can't say my name
    First of all, i'm the soloist, the soul controller
    Rakim gets stronger as i get older
    Constant elevation causes expansion

    Time's up, i'm sorry i kept you
    Llegó la hora; siento haberte detenido
    Thinking of this, you keep repeating you miss
    Pensando en esto; sigues repitiendo, pierdes
    The rhymes from the microphone soloist
    Las rimas del solista del micrófono
    And you sit by the radio, hand on the dial, soon
    Y te sientas al lado del radio, la mano sobre el dial, en cuanto
    As you hear it, pump up the volume
    La oyes, subes el volumen
    Dance wit the speaker 'till you hear it blow,
    Bailas con el altavoz hasta que se escucha soplar,
    Then plug in the headphone 'cause here it go

    Es una palabrota cuando se oye, controla
    Your body to dance (you got it) soul,
    Tu cuerpo a que baile (tú lo tienes) "soul",

    Alcanza tu instintivo, así que déjalo que funcione
    When this is playing, you can't get stuck wit
    Cuando esté tocando, no te quedas a fuerzas con
    The steps, so get set and i'm a still come up wit

    A gift to be swift, follow the leader, the rhyme will go
    Un regalo que sea rápido, sigue al líder, la rima irá
    Def wit the record that was mixed a long time ago
    Chido con el disco mezclado hace tiempo
    It can be done but only i can do it
    Se puede lograr pero solo yo puedo lograrlo
    For those that can dance and clap your hands to it
    Para aquellos que sepan bailar y dar palmas
    I start to think and then i sink
    Empiezo a pensar y luego me hundo
    Into the paper like i was ink
    En el papel como si fuera tinta
    When i'm writing, i'm trapped in between the lines,
    Cuando escribo, estoy atrapado(a) entre las líneas,

    A agarrar el mic como si estuviera en "Soul Train"
    But i'll wait 'cause i mastered this
    Pero me esperaré porque esto lo he dominado

    Deja que los otros se vayan para que los hermanos no se pierdan
    Eric b. break the sticks (you got it)

    I'll experiment like a scientist
    Experimentaré como un científico
    You wanna rhyme, you gotta sign my list
    Si quieres rimar, tienes que firmárme la lista
    'cause i'm a manifest and bless the mic i hold
    porque voy a manifestar y bendecir el mic en mis manos
    You want it next? then you gotta have soul
    ¿Quieres ser el próximo? pues entonces tienes que tener "soul"
    'cause if you ain't got it, i'm a make an encore
    porque si no lo tienes, voy a seguir yo en la presentación
    Take the mic, make the people respond for
    Toma el mic, haz que la gente responda por
    The r, 'cause that's the way it'll have to be
    La r, porque así tendrá que ser

    This style is identical to none
    El estilo no es idéntico a ninguno
    Some try to make it sound like this but you're getting me
    Algunos tratan de que suene así pero me estás
    So upset that i'm wet 'cause you're sweating me
    Alterando tanto que estoy mojado porque me estás dando lata
    I drip steam like a microphone fiend
    Riego vapor como una fiera del micrófono
    Eager to mc is my theme

    Me emociono cuando oigo el redoble de los tambores
    Rakim is on the mic and you know i got soul
    Rakim está en el mic y tú sabes que tengo "soul"

    You got it (5x)

    'cause almost anyone can relate to...
    pues casi cualquiera se identifica con...
    Whoever's out of hand, i'm give him handles
    Alguien que se haya pasado de la raya, le doy rienda
    Light 'em up, blow 'em out like candles
    Enciéndalos, sóplalos como velas
    Or should i just let him melt?
    ¿O debería simplemente dejar que se derrita?
    Then give him a hand so they can see how it felt
    Luego darle la mano para que vean lo que se sintió
    I'm not bold just cuz i rock gold
    No solamente tengo valor porque me pongo oro
    Rakim is on the mic and you know i got soul
    Rakim está en el mic and tú sabes que tengo "soul"

    Voy a quitarme del mic antes de que arda demasiado
    I want to see which posse can dance the best
    Quiero ver qué grupo baila mejor
    It should be easy 'cause the beat is fresh

    El sonido de bronx, queens, o long island
    Even other states come right and exact,
    Hasta otros estados vienen acertados y exactos,

    No importa de donde vengas, se trata de donde estás
    Since you came here, you have to show and prove
    Como llegaste aquí, tienes que mostrar y comprobar
    And do that dance until it don't move
    Y hacer ese baile hasta que ya no mueva
