Verse One: Black Thought



Southeast to Pennsylvania, Transporation Authority

is what I'm probably on, if I ain't whippin a Land

throughout ya sec-tion, my mind's in traum'

Nine times out of time I rhymes upon the L Train

Within my brain, foun-tains over rugged moun-tains

of my terrain, diggit I came too far to front

So I'm meditatin on how to maintain

Stepped off at City Hall into the rain;

and ran into my nigga named Dane - I mean Hakeem

And we was buildin on how we could organize the team

for this capital gain bein that we in the rap game

It's time to have it all, he said he figured he same

We realized this a planet of CREAM, to obtain

when the predominant rap, conglomerate rap spark the flame

Hark the name, The Fifth from the Ill-Power Hill at that

He dropped me off within the streets of South Phil'

Where niggaz think that killing's living real

Shorties is getting wetted, fulfilling their fantasies to set it

We don't sweat it, by The Fifth you get beheaded

I pivot through my borough givin pounds to the dreaded

At the lye spots I got credit; could run em down

in alphabetic-al order it's sorta pathetic

Yo, I'm livin life within a labryinth of nonsense

This is a consequence of being Philly residents

Tryin to get it on, the rhythm gettin shitted on





The exquisite I exhibit to shine, yo



[Black Thought]

C'mon..

To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin the mind

All my peoples that be knowin the time; c'mon

and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter

Up ya lighter, 'fore we spark the fire

To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin the mind

All my peoples that be knowin the time; c'mon

Verse Two: Malik B



I walk through this field with 'iminals

Ill die-hard soldiers, try to make it to-wards the generals

Hard-headed rugged captains, walkin head on through action

Turnkeys on the closed caption

I bring the skills of wizardry

Treat MC's with bigotry, so now you see the picture vividly

Seduce your brain from the temple over instrumentals

The Fifth chant, you see the exhaust out

the swift camp -- mannerism is to scan your vision

You see the light, you can't eclipse the sun

We call back the young, but still they'll strap a gun

to shoot caps that spook cats and rappers hung

Now you might tube across from the diners where you find em lost

Niggaz hearts so cold, they sport frost

The M-the-Illi-tant, the Bad Lieutenant kill your camp

You're now a victim of reality, my personality

afflicted, for three to five if convicted

Illicit, because most cats will live corrupted

It ain't no pity in this inner city niggaz fuckin

Exquisite I exhibit the shine now check it out

Verse Three: Bahamadia



Inclined to rap about facts, I never fake jacks

Shit is Real like E packs, forty-fifty-sixes

Trims and gimmicks, couldn't faze the true heartache

when I first started, but then few remember this

Anti-Gangsta Bitch, sporting new jew-als

Plain Jane styles internal, to the naked eye

Derived from mindstates of Cold Crush tapes

and beat breaks seduced by means to elevate

Equates my views with the passing

Those matching this intellect identify, for like minds

Intertwine one thought in uni-son

We exquisite I exhibit the shine, ahhh



[Black Thought]

and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter

Up ya lighter, 'fore we spark the fire

To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin the mind

All my peoples that be knowin the time; c'mon
