[Jurassic 5]

Yo, it's like this, when Allah said, "Let it be light"

He also designated poetical brothers with mics

For whoever had the skills to possess the gift

Combinated with the flavor and it go like this, 2na Fish


[Chali 2na]

The manphibian, citizen with the lesson plan

Cashier at the J5 concession stand (Akil)


[Akil]

The militant steel with the peripheral

Telegraphic skill build up force field (Mark 7even)


[Mark 7even]

Fundamentalist bringing my verbal gift

My style is packed Quik like cocoa in Swiss Miss (Zaakir)


[Zaakir]

For the way my pen sticks to rhymes

'Cause a million party people, it's about that time


[Chorus: Jurassic 5]

And together, we'll show you how to improvise

Reminiscent of the Wild Style '75

'Cause it's the brothers on the mic occupying the drum

We take four emcees and make 'em sound like one


[Akil]

I be the spark from the cannon, blaze the outstanding

Tug of war with the poor, rich, and scandalous

Roadrunning bandit, race against advancement

Style winds, cause storms when I perform


[Mark 7even]

I'ma plot with John Robot and stomp your whole spot

Then peep your whole crew, the bunch of know-nots

Dissect you from the inner, then declare myself the winner

Once the style clears, you'll be grilled like dinner


[Chali 2na]

I'm 2na the black door contractor

Attacking your backdoor, you're trapped in my trash compactor

Move back, bore, smooth as velour, the trap door

That's causin' the capture for brothers who rap or


[Zaakir]

Yeah, check the shelling, rock niggas redder than watermelon

The greed-stricken, rotated 20/20 vision

Rap felon, hottest rebel with bad spelling

I pitch shift with unprecedented sharpness


[Jurassic 5]

Distributor, local street corner contributor

Word inhibitor, scientific impositioner

Rhythm Commission DJs for real

He drives the crossfader like a cutmobile

We perpetrate, no fake, no fraud, no phony

Jurassic masters of the ceremony

You came, you saw, and right before your eyes

In fact, the old-school flavor has survived, like this

J5 and who with it?

J5, the J5, hah, the J5, hah

The J5, the J5

The one, the two, the three, four


[Chorus: Jurassic 5]

And together, we'll show you how to improvise

Reminiscent of the Wild Style '75

'Cause it's the brothers on the mic occupying the drum

We take four emcees and make 'em sound like one

And together, we'll show you how to improvise

Reminiscent of the Wild Style '75

So whoever bought the tape, bring your butt right back

'Cause you never in your life heard a cut like that


[Zaakir]

Hey, we flip fast, phonographs, 45 records smash

Hot weather forecast, it ain't nothing they never had


[Mark 7even]

Make a move, never lose, competition quick to choose

New styles, hot rhymes, guaranteed to blow your mind


[Chali 2na]

Who is he? The subtle and fanatic for unity

Demonstratin' the ghetto diplomatic immunity


[Akil]

Well, I'm the style stimulus, sound photosynthesis

Super with the sentences, in the lab for centuries


[Chorus: Jurassic 5]

And together, we'll show you how to improvise

Reminiscent of the Wild Style '75

'Cause it's the brothers on the mic occupying the drum

Takin' four emcees and make 'em sound like one

And together, we'll show you how to improvise

Reminiscent of the Wild Style '75

'Cause it's the brothers on the mic in the place to be

It's the J-U-R-A-double-S-I-C
