<br />

Verse One: Black Thought<br />

<br />

Southeast to Pennsylvania, Transporation Authority<br />

is what I'm probably on, if I ain't whippin a Land<br />

throughout ya sec-tion, my mind's in traum'<br />

Nine times out of time I rhymes upon the L Train<br />

Within my brain, foun-tains over rugged moun-tains<br />

of my terrain, diggit I came too far to front<br />

So I'm meditatin on how to maintain<br />

Stepped off at City Hall into the rain;<br />

and ran into my ----- named Dane - I mean Hakeem<br />

And we was buildin on how we could organize the team<br />

for this capital gain bein that we in the rap game<br />

It's time to have it all, he said he figured he same<br />

We realized this a planet of CREAM, to obtain<br />

when the predominant rap, conglomerate rap spark the flame<br />

Hark the name, The Fifth from the Ill-Power Hill at that<br />

He dropped me off within the streets of South Phil'<br />

Where niggaz think that killing's living real<br />

Shorties is getting wetted, fulfilling their fantasies to set it<br />

We don't sweat it, by The Fifth you get beheaded<br />

I pivot through my borough givin pounds to the dreaded<br />

At the lye spots I got credit; could run em down<br />

in alphabetic-al order it's sorta pathetic<br />

Yo, I'm livin life within a labryinth of nonsense<br />

This is a consequence of being Philly residents<br />

Tryin to get it on, the rhythm gettin shitted on<br />

The exquisite I exhibit to shine, yo<br />

<br />

[Black Thought]<br />

C'mon..<br />

To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin the mind<br />

All my peoples that be knowin the time; c'mon<br />

and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter<br />

Up ya lighter, 'fore we spark the fire<br />

To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin the mind<br />

All my peoples that be knowin the time; c'mon<br />

and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter<br />

Up ya lighter, 'fore we spark - check it out<br />

<br />

Verse Two: Malik B<br />

<br />

I walk through this field with 'iminals<br />

Ill die-hard soldiers, try to make it to-wards the generals<br />

Hard-headed rugged captains, walkin head on through action<br />

Turnkeys on the closed caption<br />

I bring the skills of wizardry<br />

Treat MC's with bigotry, so now you see the picture vividly<br />

Seduce your brain from the temple over instrumentals<br />

The Fifth chant, you see the exhaust out<br />

the swift camp -- mannerism is to scan your vision<br />

You see the light, you can't eclipse the sun<br />

We call back the young, but still they'll strap a gun<br />

to shoot caps that spook cats and rappers hung<br />

Now you might tube across from the diners where you find em lost<br />

Niggaz hearts so cold, they sport frost<br />

The M-the-Illi-tant, the Bad Lieutenant kill your camp<br />

You're now a victim of reality, my personality<br />

afflicted, for three to five if convicted<br />

Illicit, because most cats will live corrupted<br />

It ain't no pity in this inner city niggaz ------<br />

Exquisite I exhibit the shine now check it out<br />

<br />

[Black Thought]<br />

Yeahh..<br />

To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin the mind<br />

All my peoples that be knowin the time; c'mon<br />

and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter<br />

Up ya lighter, 'fore we spark the fire<br />

To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin the mind<br />

All my peoples that be knowin the time; c'mon<br />

and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter<br />

Up ya lighter, 'fore we spark - check it out<br />

<br />

Verse Three: Bahamadia<br />

<br />

Inclined to rap about facts, I never fake jacks<br />

Shit is Real like E packs, forty-fifty-sixes<br />

Trims and gimmicks, couldn't faze the true heartache<br />

when I first started, but then few remember this<br />

Anti-Gangsta Bitch, sporting new jew-als<br />

Plain Jane styles internal, to the naked eye<br />

Derived from mindstates of Cold Crush tapes<br />

and beat breaks seduced by means to elevate<br />

Equates my views with the passing<br />

Those matching this intellect identify, for like minds<br />

Intertwine one thought in uni-son<br />

We exquisite I exhibit the shine, ahhh<br />

<br />

[Black Thought]<br />

Yeahh..<br />

To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin the mind<br />

All my peoples that be knowin the time; c'mon<br />

and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter<br />

Up ya lighter, 'fore we spark the fire<br />

To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin the mind<br />

All my peoples that be knowin the time; c'mon<br />

and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter<br />

Up ya lighter, 'fore we spark the fire<br />

To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin the mind<br />

All my peoples that be knowin the time; c'mon<br />

and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter<br />

Up ya lighter, 'fore we spark the fire<br />

To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin the mind<br />

All my peoples that be knowin the time; c'mon<br />

and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter<br />

Up ya lighter, 'fore we spark - check it out
