[Hook]

It's the five, five, five, five, five elements

First up in the cycle of the cipher's wood

It's the five, five, five, five, five elements

First up in the cycle of the cipher's wood


[Verse One: Peril-L]

108 in the spiritual, manifest five in the physical

The best live individuals, damn the rest cause we arrive

To visit those invisible flows

Which result in miserable foes and opposition posing competition

Chose to stop the mission

To those in top position

By sparking up a song, see in the meanwhile these saps with cheese raps

Are barking up the wrong tree

Stalking silent

Tearing limbs out your sockets

Gear and Timbs and wearing slims out when I rocket

Commonly known to most as the verbal anomaly

Several rhymers be prone to boast

And clone the host of this eternal homily

Complex is dead branches to a tree

Props for taking chances, make advances till we can't just leave


[Hook]

It's the five, five, five, five, five elements

Next up in the cycle of the cipher's fire

It's the five, five, five, five, five elements

Next up in the cycle of the cipher's fire


[Verse Two: Sherlok Holmez]

I'm emphatically

I got soul from the clavicle

Mathematical

Putting rappers on sabbatical

Keep it physical, mystical, I'm that lyrical

Brother that will hover craft your soul through the spiritual

I teach psychologically with the speech

And reach

I'm peeling motherfuckers like a peach

What I mean is

In actuality see I'm a genius

My mentality is permanent, you can't clean this

Stain plus the pain to make your brain cells burst

I hurt you

I really wanna do that first

Then do your girlfriend cause see, that hurts worse

Then the most illest, blood spillest, killer type verse

Ooow, I get dangerous, I get detrimental with that lead pencil

You wanna play hard rock, I'ma play Prudential

And cut a piece of your heart apart from the start

And shoot up your whole crew like my name was [?]

Your whole fucking squad is in danger, danger

I suggest you invest in a bodyguard bro

Like Ranger

I'm now stranger to the Power

My personality is inhumane when I need to claim

Tower above enemies like trees

Now who in they right mind wanna fuck with 5 elemental

The five element MC's

So please

If you wanna handle something, handle deez


[Hook]

It's the five, five, five, five, five elements

Next up in the cycle of the cipher's Earth

It's the five, five, five, five, five elements

Next up in the cycle of the cipher's Earth


[Verse Three: Styles Infinite]

I write the words that other MC's like to learn

Strike a nerve with true heads the rest are none of my concern

I'll be Earth the five elements, the fellow with the eloquence

Dropping tight pearls, nice girls forget they celibate

I'm a pimp, stretching all the women in my section

I have a rapper shitting out they whole intestine

Yes, we in the house, y'all not even in the neighborhood

Why you talk that yang? Y'all don't do the things you say you could

Ill conglomerate of Philidelphians with the finest scripts

Rise to prominence, dominating every continent

The rhyming prince, my name looks like a mic, call me "the rapper"

I hate the sight of pseudo hip hoppers who lack the passion

Masquerading behind designer wears and high fashion

What happened to actual fact? Their real past actions?

Rappers that manifest love we send our blessings

Best wishes, 5 Elements slash remnants of the essence


[Hook]

It's the five, five, five, five, five elements

Next up in the cycle of the cipher's water

It's the five, five, five, five, five elements

Next up in the cycle of the cipher's water


[Verse Four: Mastery]

Now quit the pouting when I flow with the Mountain

My ciphers they represent because we're fluid like a fountain

But the spirits never caused a reflection

Perfections my direction when I make the track selection

Perplexing is the order of the slaughter

When I'm representing water

Putting dibs on your daughter

Haha

It's like elementary, fundamentally hitting me

Basically, MC's are wasting who's facing me

It's all about the elements that relevant

When it comes to matter I shatter data that makes your crew scatter

Take water for the fire when his eyes stays hot

Mastery just wet up the spot


[Hook]

It's the five, five, five, five, five elements

Next up in the cycle of the cipher's gold

It's the five, five, five, five, five elements

Next up in the cycle of the cipher's gold


[Verse Five: Chops]

Fools who lack this stupid phatness go back and practice

And yet the standard we set, you can't get over gold

My tunes from June get you suckers bugging till it's cold

I Krush Brothers and don't judge covers

Others [?] but what's the rush?

You need chains to restrain me

Rocking it like a locket

I'm independent with a tendency to take no stock in it

Word is born you get the Goldfinger

You need to follow the golden rule

Non believer cool but I think you know who be the ring leader

Me, the king

Cause Midas touch is the mightiest motherfuckers

What's the cause kid? Bustas get exhausted like mufflers

Cause Chops' text will make Nordic stop flexing

Lifted like gym equipment, just wait/weight!

It's quite heavy and might get me a medal

Like I was part of the special Olympic ski team, cold retarded

Only started to give golden opportunities

But even with no support I'm holding Fort, my shit knocks/Knox

And soon you'll see in two or three

My crew will be the one that [?] cleverness

The underground treasure's the best

Dig the five masterminds

You have to have a map to find these raps of mine

Go to bully an MC mentally

Marks exit the spot cause they remember me
