Verse One: Black Thought
13
Southeast to Pennsylvania, Transporation Authority
14
is what I'm probably on, if I ain't whippin a Land
15
throughout ya sec-tion, my mind's in traum'
16
Nine times out of time I rhymes upon the L Train
17
Within my brain, foun-tains over rugged moun-tains
18
of my terrain, diggit I came too far to front
19
So I'm meditatin on how to maintain
20
Stepped off at City Hall into the rain;
21
and ran into my nigga named Dane - I mean Hakeem
22
And we was buildin on how we could organize the team
23
for this capital gain bein that we in the rap game
24
It's time to have it all, he said he figured he same
25
We realized this a planet of CREAM, to obtain
26
when the predominant rap, conglomerate rap spark the flame
27
Hark the name, The Fifth from the Ill-Power Hill at that
28
He dropped me off within the streets of South Phil'
29
Where niggaz think that killing's living real
30
Shorties is getting wetted, fulfilling their fantasies to set it
31
We don't sweat it, by The Fifth you get beheaded
32
I pivot through my borough givin pounds to the dreaded
33
At the lye spots I got credit; could run em down
34
in alphabetic-al order it's sorta pathetic
35
Yo, I'm livin life within a labryinth of nonsense
36
This is a consequence of being Philly residents
37
Tryin to get it on, the rhythm gettin shitted on
38
The exquisite I exhibit to shine, yo
39
[Black Thought]
40
C'mon..
41
To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin the mind
42

44
Up ya lighter, 'fore we spark the fire
45
To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin the mind
46
All my peoples that be knowin the time; c'mon

Verse Two: Malik B
50
I walk through this field with 'iminals
51
Ill die-hard soldiers, try to make it to-wards the generals
52
Hard-headed rugged captains, walkin head on through action
53
Turnkeys on the closed caption
54
I bring the skills of wizardry
55
Treat MC's with bigotry, so now you see the picture vividly
56
Seduce your brain from the temple over instrumentals
57
The Fifth chant, you see the exhaust out
58
the swift camp -- mannerism is to scan your vision
59
You see the light, you can't eclipse the sun
60
We call back the young, but still they'll strap a gun
61
to shoot caps that spook cats and rappers hung
62
Now you might tube across from the diners where you find em lost
63
Niggaz hearts so cold, they sport frost
64
The M-the-Illi-tant, the Bad Lieutenant kill your camp
65
You're now a victim of reality, my personality
66
afflicted, for three to five if convicted
67
Illicit, because most cats will live corrupted
68
It ain't no pity in this inner city niggaz fuckin
69
Exquisite I exhibit the shine now check it out
70
[Black Thought]
71

and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter
75
Up ya lighter, 'fore we spark the fire
76
To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin the mind
77
All my peoples that be knowin the time; c'mon
78
and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter
79
Up ya lighter, 'fore we spark - check it out

Verse Three: Bahamadia
81
Inclined to rap about facts, I never fake jacks
82
Shit is Real like E packs, forty-fifty-sixes
83
Trims and gimmicks, couldn't faze the true heartache
84
when I first started, but then few remember this
85
Anti-Gangsta Bitch, sporting new jew-als
86
Plain Jane styles internal, to the naked eye
87
Derived from mindstates of Cold Crush tapes
88
and beat breaks seduced by means to elevate
89
Equates my views with the passing
90
Those matching this intellect identify, for like minds
91
Intertwine one thought in uni-son
92
We exquisite I exhibit the shine, ahhh
93
[Black Thought]
94
Yeahh..

To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin the mind

98
Up ya lighter, 'fore we spark the fire
99
To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin the mind
100
All my peoples that be knowin the time; c'mon
101
and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter
102
Up ya lighter, 'fore we spark the fire
103
To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin the mind
104
All my peoples that be knowin the time; c'mon
105
and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter
106
Up ya lighter, 'fore we spark the fire
107
To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin the mind
108
All my peoples that be knowin the time; c'mon

and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter
110
Up ya lighter, 'fore we spark - check it out
