KJ-52 - 5th Element lyrics

rate me

Who am I? The one that gets laced tight

The one you wear, hit a flare on the same night

That you hit an uprock, I'm the one in the closet next to one sock

The one you rock on the cardboard box

Walking to the one block

You know the one spot peeps get the one shot

Got one thought on the task at hand

You can ask your man I'm part of master plan

Only b-boys and b-girls, they understand

Whatever you say now, ya wish is my command

Name it, I'll be the footwork to your head spin

Follow your lead, go anyplace that ya legs bend

At ya cipher session I'm ya best friend

I got a twin, we's a pair clocking size 10

Head's a shell, three stripes on side

Laces large, on your feets I reside

Keep me clean, keep me laced, and I'll be allright

I be the first element up in here tonight

Who am I? See, I'm the one that you be gripping tight

The one that makes you sound real good when you be flipping right

And I'm the one causing fights up at the open mic

I'll make ya sound real stupid if you don't hold me right

I got emcees fiending for me all day and night

I could care less if ya on me if ya black or white

See all that matters when you rock me don't be coming wack and

Don't hold me to the speaker or I'ma feedback and

I'm used for rapping, every now and the used for passng

Back and forth in ya crew in a freestyle fashion

I get rocked, ripped, flipped on and blasted,

I'm spoke on, choke on, hit on, spit on, and mastered

I've outlasted, been used to tell truth and lies

Used to kill the youth and used to open up they eyes

I come in all kinds of sizes, heard all kinds of voices

Sometimes I'm plugged in, you know sometimes I'm cordless

Keep me clear, keep me close, and I'll be allright

See I'm the second element up in here tonight

Who am I? I got two heads and they always spinning

I got two arms that the deejays, they use for ripping

Plus a fader in my middle that they always gripping

I'm completed with the two records used for mixing

They pulling tricks and cutting up, ya know they scratching

Remixing beat, juggling just whie they mix and match and

All kinds of beats till it's the heat that I know ya catching

And I'm the one that started hip-hop in case ya asking

I got knobs and faders in a mad abundance

I come in many names, but most time it's 1200

When I get played now, you know that you truly love it

Now clean the needle on my arm or I'll be sounding busted

I'm disregarded, treated like I ain't legitimate

I'm making music, you don't see me as an instrument

And it takes true skills to get on me and be ripping it

Nobody sees my contribution, they ain't getting it

You know there's one thing that really now makes me mad

You used to blow me off but now I'm the latest fad

I'm the thing that every rock band they got's to have

Now people say my name and they be like "Now what is that?"

Keep me running, keep me spinning, and I'll be allright

I'll be the third element up in here tonight

Who am I? Se I'm hiding in your backpack

You tear my tip off, replace it with a fat cap

I'm 12 oz. of steel concealed in a knapsack

Ya pull me out, ya shake me up, and then attack that

Wall or train while ya steady throwing up your name

Leaving these end to end burners, ya getting ghetto fame

Now me and my brothers, ya know we come in many colors

Steady beautifying the walls of a ghetto culture

Toys and suckers now you know they getting dissed quick

I'm going all city all up in ya district

Ya hold me with control so I never drip thick

I'm tagging up ya spot, nobody misses it

See I'm the brush to a modern day type DiVinci

I'm the new urban renewal for ya block's committee

I've spoken words of the youth of an inner city

I'm vandalism but to others I'll be called graffiti

Keep me shaking, keep me spraying, and I'll be allright

I be the fourth element up in here tonight

Who am I? See I'm the God that you don't know about

I gave you breath up in your lungs that you can't go without

See you know the facts of My story you been told about

I'm always reaching out for you but you just keep on holding out

I know your doubts, I know you're thinking that I ain't real

See I know you forgot about Me when you got ya last record deal

See I know the way you feel, I walked the earth just like you

And like a child up in his Father's arms, I long to hide you

Many times I invite you while standing here right besides you

But you walk right past, you ignore My hands here given to guide you

I gave you gifts, I gave you talents that you just used to gain your wealth

But you took my gifts and talents only for you, just to glorify yourself

I was beaten and bruised, crushed now for your iniquity

Stripped naked, I was spit upon just for you to live eternally

Yet you blaspheme Me, you make moves without asking Me

Then you blame Me for your troubles and calamaties, you kidding me?

Keep Me first, keep Me in your life, and it's gonna be allright

See I'm Jesus Christ, the Fifth Element up in here tonight
