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 />
Stepped off at City Hall into the rain; <br />
So I'm meditatin on how to maintain <br />
and ran into my nigga 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 />
He dropped me off within the streets of South Phil' <br />
Hark the name, The Fifth from the Ill-Power Hill at that <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 />
Yo, I'm livin life within a labryinth of nonsense <br />
in alphabetic-al order it's sorta pathetic <br />
This is a consequence of being Philly residents <br />
Tryin to get it on, the rhythm gettin shitted on <br />
<br />
<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 />
Up ya lighter, 'fore we spark the fire <br />
and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter <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 />
I walk through this field with 'iminals <br />
Hard-headed rugged captains, walkin head on through action <br />
I'll die-hard soldiers, try to make it to-wards the generals <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 />
You're now a victim of reality, my personality <br />
The M-the-Illi-tant, the Bad Lieutenant kill your camp <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 fuckin <br />
Exquisite I exhibit the shine now check it out <br />
<br />
Yeahh.. <br />
To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin the mind <br />
[Black Thought] <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 />
Up ya lighter, 'fore we spark - check it out <br />
and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter <br />
Verse Three: Bahamadia <br />
<br />
Inclined to rap about facts, I never fake jacks <br />
<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 />
We exquisite I exhibit the shine, ahhh <br />
Intertwine one thought in uni-son <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 />
Up ya lighter, 'fore we spark the fire <br />
To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin the mind <br />
and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter <br />
and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter <br />
All my peoples that be knowin the time; c'mon <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 />
and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter <br />
All my peoples that be knowin the time; c'mon <br />
Up ya lighter, 'fore we spark - check it out
