However, Rakim says that Kane clarified their relationship and his own questionable rhymes. “[He said], ‘I don’t got no beef with you. I don’t be writing rhymes about you,’ this and that. ‘People be gassin’ [this rivalry]. I’m not speaking to you [in my lyrics].'” After the phone conversation, Rakim says, “I had to respect that. He called me and spoke to me like a man…so I went back [to the studio] and took it out.” Charlamagne asks if Rakim addressed Kane by name in the original version. “I said, ‘Rippin’ your wrath in half / Who gets the last laugh? / Followers become leaders, but without a path / Your mentally paralyzed, crippled your third eye / Rhymes are blurred, then it occurred / That ya heard I / Reduced..’ Nahmean?” Rakim stops short of a few other lines. Those unreleased lyrics responded to “Wrath Of Kane” and addressed the lines Rakim felt were challenging “Follow The Leader.”
