[Intro]

Uh, uh, uh, come on, SP in the

Up north into the NYC and the

Out West and to niggas in Cali and the

Down South type dynamite

What? Yo, yo, come on, dynamite

Uh, check it out, uh, uh, uh, it's like

Ayo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, check it out, yo


[Chorus]

Everybody, touch this Illa-Fifth dynamite (Come on)

Touch this Illa-Fifth dynamite (Come on)

Touch this Illa-Fifth dynamite (Check it out)

Everybody, touch this Illa-Fifth dynamite (Come on)

Touch this Illa-Fifth dynamite (Come on)

Touch this Illa-Fifth dynamite (Yo, check it out)


[Verse 1: Black Thought]

In-in-tro-tro-du-ducin' the sole missin' link

What could emcees who listen think?

It's Black Thought, open your eyes and don't blink

Yo, to rock this mic is like a basic instinct

But, yo, in-in-tro-tro-du-ducin'


[Verse 2: Rehani Sayed]

Rehani the mic champion, more than a step beyond

Motherfuckers sweatin' me, beggin' me just to get me on

Macro-cosmic, micro-master


[Verse 3: Black Thought]

Ayo, I'm all the way, way, Phil-Phil-lay-lay

People wanna see the way the Illadelph play

Yo, look in the mirror, watch what yourself say

I'm from SP, no mortal man can test me

Thought, I keep in line-ean, upper echelon-ean

Heineken, hold the rhymin' in, flows remindin' 'em

Cats that hit me up, some shit from back in the past

Your half-steppin' ass could never fathom or grasp, of course


[Verse 4: Rehani Sayed]

Ayo, we got a doctorate in cold rockin' it

Bringin' this apocalypse, nigga, you mad topical

****, my raps tricks your optical

Mr. Superficial, I'm rippin' apart your heart tissue

This is your official dismissal

I don't study the artificial

Who fuckin' with the dark crystal? Yo, where are is you?

I'm movin' like a smart missile, aimed and guaranteed to hit you


[Verse 5: Black Thought]

Word up, but when the Fifth do get on and perform, you in for it

It ain't no way to censor it

My style metaphoric to bricks and ten-ton stacks hard to lift

The artist comin' out the Fifth darkness


[Verse 6: Rehani Sayed]

'Cause we go back like ancients, while you ain't shit

Subterranean, never against the gradient

Afro-American slash half-Pleiadian

In your universe, my star's the most radiant


[Chorus]

(Check it out)

Everybody, touch this Illa-Fifth dynamite, come on

Touch this Illa-Fifth dynamite, come on

Touch this Illa-Fifth dynamite (Check it out)

Everybody, touch this Illa-Fifth dynamite, come on

Touch this Illa-Fifth dynamite, come on

Touch this Illa-Fifth dynamite


[Verse 7: Black Thought]

Ayo, it's all the way live from 2-1-5

Plus admission is denied, so just wait outside

Two extremes collide like Jekyll and Hyde

And I provide you with the swerve you need, but take heed

You travelin' at light speed, iller than adventures you might read

Official original breed, The Justice League

Yo, it's the P-5-D style fashionist

Other emcees, they actresses


[Verse 8: Rehani Sayed]

Yo, Mr. High Post, you 'bout to get shot down (Get shot down)

Tryna fly above this Illa-Fifth compound

You've known since the get-go, I rock your disco

Ain't nobody badder, but yo, you get my gist, so

See? I represent, so you gotta squint

As far as how I really do it, you incognizant

We causin' nuisance and get in-decent, so save your two cent

Don't come in my district kickin' that ****


[Verse 9: Black Thought]

Your soft simplistic limited clique get

Lyrically lifted touchin' the Fifth shit

Trenches of the mentally twisted you enlisted

Five was the emblem on the mic you got hit with


[Verse 10: Rehani Sayed]

And I stomp ya, 'til you call me conqueror

Back-slappin' all them niggas that slept

Thinkin' that Elo could ever disappear, I'm strippin' they veneer

With this non-ether reefer, quite frequent premiere


[Chorus]

(Check it out)

Everybody, touch this Illa-Fifth dynamite, come on

Touch this Illa-Fifth dynamite, come on

Touch this Illa-Fifth dynamite (Check it out)

Everybody, touch this Illa-Fifth dynamite, come on

Touch this Illa-Fifth dynamite, come on (Check it out)

Touch this Illa-Fifth dynamite (Come on)

Everybody, touch this Illa-Fifth dynamite, come on

Touch this Illa-Fifth dynamite, come on

Touch this Illa-Fifth dynamite, check it out

Everybody, touch this Illa-Fifth dynamite, come on

Touch this Illa-Fifth dynamite, come on (Dynamite, what?)

Touch this Illa-Fifth dynamite (Yo)
