I start to think and then I sink
Into the paper like I was ink

Rakim is so involved in the process of putting rhymes from thought to paper that physically, mentally and emotionally he becomes one with the physical objects (i.e. the pen, ink and paper) thereby becoming one with the rhymes in a physical and literal sense.
