   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

   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
