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 />

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 />

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
