[Black Thought]



Yeahh..



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



and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter



Up ya lighter, 'fore we spark - check it out




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
