[The Roots, Bahamadia - Push Up Ya Lighter lyrics]

Yeah, to all my peoples on
The planet stimulatin' they mind
All my peoples that be knowin' the time
Come on and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter
Up ya lighter 'fore we spark the fire
To all my peoples on the
Planet stimulatin' they mind
All my peoples that be knowin' the time
Come on and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter
Up ya lighter 'fore we spark, check it out

Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation
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 ten
I rhymes upon the L train within my brain
Fountains over rugged mountains
Are my terrain
Dig it, 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 the same
We realized this a planet of CREAM to obtain
When the predominant rap conglomerate
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 niggas think that killin'
Is livin' real shorties is gettin' wetted
Fulfillin' 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 alphabetical order
It's sorta pathetic
Yo, I'm livin' life within
A labyrinth of nonsense
This is a consequence of
Bein' Philly residents tryna get it on
The rhythm gettin' shitted on
The exquisite I exhibit to shine, yo

To all my peoples on the
Planet stimulatin' they mind
All my peoples that be knowin' the time
Come on and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter
Up ya lighter 'fore we spark the fire
To all my peoples on the
Planet stimulatin' they mind
All my peoples that be knowin' the time
Come on and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter
Up ya lighter 'fore we spark, check it out

I walk through this field with 'iminals
Ill die hard soldiers try to
Make it towards 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 diner's where you find 'em lost
Niggas' hearts so cold, they sport frost
The M-the-Illitant
The Bad Lieutenant kill ya camp
You're now a victim of reality
My personality afflicted
From three-to-five if convicted
Illicit, because most cats
Will live corrupted
It ain't no pity in this inner city, niggas
Fuck it exquisite I exhibit to shine, now
Check it out

Yeah, to all my peoples on
The planet stimulatin' they mind
All my peoples that be knowin' the time
Come on and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter
Up ya lighter 'fore we spark the fire
To all my peoples on the
Planet stimulatin' they mind
All my peoples that be knowin' the time
Come on and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter
Up ya lighter 'fore we spark, check it out

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, sportin' new jew-als
Plain Jane styles eternal to the naked eye
Derived from mind states of Cold Crush tapes
And beat breaks seduced by means to elevate
Equates my views with the passion
Those matchin' this intellect identify
For like minds
Intertwine one thought in unison
The exquisite I exhibit to shine, ah

Yeah, to all my peoples on
The planet stimulatin' they mind
All my peoples that be knowin' the time
Come on and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter
Up ya lighter 'fore we spark the fire
To all my peoples on the
Planet stimulatin' they mind
All my peoples that be knowin' the time
Come on and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter
Up ya lighter 'fore we spark, check it out
To all my peoples on the
Planet stimulatin' they mind
All my peoples that be knowin' the time
Come on and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter
Up ya lighter 'fore we spark the fire
To all my peoples on the
Planet stimulatin' they mind
All my peoples that be knowin' the time
Come on and push up ya lighter, up ya lighter
Up ya lighter 'fore we spark, check it out
