作词 : Abdul-Basit, Black Thought ...

[Chorus: Black Thought]

Yeah, to all my peoples on the planet stimulatin' they mind

All my peoples that be knowin' the time

Come on and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter

Up ya lighter 'fore we spark the fire

To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin' they mind

All my peoples that be knowin' the time

Come on and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter

Up ya lighter 'fore we spark, check it out

[Verse 1: Black Thought]

Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation 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 ten, I rhymes upon the L train

Within my brain, fountains over rugged mountains are my terrain

Dig it, 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 the same

We realized this a planet of C.R.E.A.M. to obtain

When the predominant rap conglomerate 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 niggas think that killin' is livin' real

Shorties is gettin' wetted, fulfillin' 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 alphabetical order, it's sorta pathetic

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

This is a consequence of bein' Philly residents

Tryna get it on, the rhythm gettin' shitted on

The exquisite I exhibit to shine, yo

[Chorus: Black Thought]

To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin' they mind

All my peoples that be knowin' the time

Come on and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter

Up ya lighter 'fore we spark the fire

To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin' they mind

All my peoples that be knowin' the time

Come on and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter

Up ya lighter 'fore we spark, check it out

[Verse 2: Malik B]

I walk through this field with 'iminals

Ill die-hard soldiers try to make it towards 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 diner's where you find 'em lost

Niggas' hearts so cold, they sport frost

The M-the-Illitant, the Bad Lieutenant kill ya camp

You're now a victim of reality, my personality afflicted

From three-to-five if convicted

Illicit, because most cats will live corrupted

It ain't no pity in this inner city, n****s, **** it

Exquisite I exhibit to shine, now, check it out

[Chorus: Black Thought]

Yeah, to all my peoples on the planet stimulatin' they mind

All my peoples that be knowin' the time

Come on and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter

Up ya lighter 'fore we spark the fire

To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin' they mind

All my peoples that be knowin' the time

Come on and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter

Up ya lighter 'fore we spark, check it out

[Verse 3: 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 B***h, sportin' new jew-als

Plain Jane styles eternal to the naked eye

Derived from mind states of Cold Crush tapes

And beat breaks seduced by means to elevate

Equates my views with the passion

Those matchin' this intellect identify for like minds

Intertwine one thought in unison

The exquisite I exhibit to shine, ah

[Chorus: Black Thought]

Yeah, to all my peoples on the planet stimulatin' they mind

All my peoples that be knowin' the time

Come on and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter

Up ya lighter 'fore we spark the fire

To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin' they mind

All my peoples that be knowin' the time

Come on and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter

Up ya lighter 'fore we spark, check it out

To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin' they mind

All my peoples that be knowin' the time

Come on and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter

Up ya lighter 'fore we spark the fire

To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin' they mind

All my peoples that be knowin' the time

Come on and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter

Up ya lighter 'fore we spark, check it out
