*Black Thought speaks and makes crowd respond for a minute and 15 sec.*<br />

<br />

[Black Thought]<br />

Yo my definition is a lyricist for hire<br />

My vocal's a passport that never expire<br />

Crowd loud like fifty rounds of gun fire<br />

Screamin out "The Roots" while I balance wit the wire<br />

Yo, expert in this profession, the session<br />

In 1987, I linked up wit the ?uestion<br />

Eleven years later we shared crop wit Geffen<br />

In musical hell, but hip-hop forever heaven<br />

My thoughts, interwoven and deep like Beethoven<br />

This foul world so filled of shit it like a clogged up colon<br />

Swollen wit minds that got stolen<br />

Fake-ass cops, uncontrollable patrolmen<br />

Torture, blood flow like bodies of water<br />

Fathers sexually assaultin they own daughter<br />

Out of sync, outta order like a puzzle<br />

In the land of the unseen hand that hold juggle<br />

In a Game of Life, yo it's hard to roll a double<br />

Tryin times, take lives and separate couples<br />

Kids thinkin they grown, tellin they moms "Fuck you"<br />

Under they breath, livin in the last times left<br />

Peep the imagery stretch across the sky like a canvas<br />

And we're the artists beneath vigorous rough strokes of darkness<br />

Time to set it off, let's spark this<br />

Switzerland, LET'S SPARK THIS!!<br />

We are the ULTIMATE (rock-rockin it)<br />

We are the ULTIMATE (rock-rockin it)<br />

We are the ULTIMATE, rock-rockin it, rock-rockin it, rock-rockin it<br />

We are the ULTIMATE (rock-rockin it)<br />

We are the ULTIMATE LOUDER! (rock-rockin it)<br />

We are the ULTIMATE<br />

(Rock-rockin it) C'mon (Rock-rockin it) C'mon (Rock-rockin it)<br />

Yo my definition is a lyricist for hire<br />

You couldn't have a clue, it's about to transpire<br />

The books I buy live arms ?I wire?<br />

The Fifth, similar to ghetto gospel choir<br />

We ex-plore the whole states plus record<br />

In flight buds, trip that was a prisoner in war<br />

Four-four the corridor, seal it, no floor<br />

But I could see the drop was a mile aboard<br />

To the bottom, electrical shock for rhymes<br />

I said "I don't got em", guess it kinda presented a problem<br />

When I understood, they said "Let him go"<br />

I woke, during a center to London-Heathrow<br />

And now wit a past, fuckin wit border patrol<br />

I'm findin it out, I'm leakin wit my people<br />

Hit the studio, spread this information<br />

In daze of frustration fogged the education<br />

>From Illa-Fifth to Switzerland destination<br />

The Roots du journ, go check the translation<br />

The dictionary of devout topics, far from ebonics<br />

The Fifth Dynast, they can't stop it<br />

Yo Zurlich y'all keep it tight heed<br />

While The Roots Crew smoke weed<br />

Yo, we are the ULTIMATE (rock-rockin it)<br />

We are the ULTIMATE, say what? (rock-rockin it)<br />

We are the ULTIMATE, c'mon <br />

(Rock-rockin it) C'mon c'mon rock-rockin it, rock-rockin it<br />

We are the ULTIMATE (rock-rockin it)<br />

We are the ULTIMATE LOUDER (rock-rockin it)<br />

We are the ULTIMATE LOUDER<br />

(Rock-rockin it) C'mon rock-rockin it, rock-rockin it<br />

They go *Thought starts humming and Scratch does his thing*<br />

*Crowd cheers*
