Uh, uh, come on, S-P in the
Up north into the NYC and the, out West
And to niggas in Cali and the
Down South type dynamite

Uh, check it out, uh, uh
A yo, yo, yo, yo, yo

Yo, check it out!
In-in-tro-tro-duc-ducin' the sole
Missin' link


What could MC's 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-duc-ducin'

Rehani, the mic champion
More than a step beyond
Motherfuckers sweatin' me
Beggin' me just to get me on
Macro-cosmic, micro master

A yo, 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 S-P, no mortal man can test me!
Thought, I keep 'em 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 'cause

A yo, we got a doctorate in cold-rockin' it
Bringin' this apocalype, nigga
You mad topical
Hctib 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

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!

We go back like ancients
While you ain't shit
Subterranean, never against the gradient
Afro-American half-Pleiadian
In your universe, my star's the most radiant

A yo, 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 travellin' 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 MC's they actresses!

Yo, Mr high-post, you 'bout to 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 bullshit

Yo, y'all simplistic limited clique
Get lyrically lifted
Touchin' the Fifth shit
Trenches of the mentally twisted
That you enlisted
'Five' was the emblem on the
Mic you got hit with

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
Wit' this non-ether reefer
Quite frequent premiere
