[00:01.923][Intro: Black Thought]
[00:04.436]It's just.. hip-hop bangin' in my head heavy
[00:07.528]Malik said "Riq, you know the planet ain't ready for the half"
[00:10.540]When we comin' with the action pack
[00:12.295]On some Dundee shit, representin' the outback
[00:14.811]Yo, we do it like this (All the way live, from 2-1-5)
[00:16.646]You witnessin' the 5th Dynasty family clique
[00:18.401](All the way live, from 2-1-5)
[00:20.157]Across the map, one time for ya... (All the way live, from 2-1-5)
[00:21.670]It's time to react to respond to react to respond
[00:23.935](All the way live, from 2-1-5)
[00:24.437]
[00:24.767][Hook]
[00:25.295]We settin' it from Southside, pushin' this up North
[00:27.126]From Illadelphian reps, to fly points across the map
[00:30.497]Bring it back to Respond/React
[00:32.256]Then bring it back to Respond/React to this
[00:33.262]
[00:33.513][Verse 1: Black Thought]
[00:34.273]The attractive assassin, blastin' the devil trespassin'
[00:37.788]Master gettin' cash in an orderly fashion
[00:40.045]Message to the fake n***a flashin':
[00:42.082]Slow up, Ock, before you get dropped and closed like a caption
[00:45.102]Fractional kids don't know the time for action
[00:47.684]Styles got the rhythm that of an Anglo-Saxon
[00:50.193]Round of applause, an avalanche of clappin'
[00:52.735]{*BLAOW*} That's what happen, now what's your reaction?
[00:55.000]We heavyweight traction, pro-pornographin'
[00:57.756]Specialize in science and math and
[00:59.767]Original Black man bustin' thoughts that pierce your mental
[01:02.528]The fierce rippin' your sacks and
[01:04.037]Vocal toe-to-toe impeccable, splittin' your back, son
[01:06.579]Simple as addition and subtraction
[01:08.368]Black Thought — the infinite relaxed one
[01:10.376]Shorties say they love it with a passion
[01:12.384]Bring the international traum' — see a squad, I harass
[01:12.886]
[01:13.914][Verse 2: Malik B]
[01:15.173]REACT! You best adapt when I sling this rap
[01:17.690]Another chapter, before when I have to trap ya
[01:20.456]Map your whole path out
[01:21.954]Go get your crowd so we can clap out
[01:23.458]I drive down streets and take back route positionin'
[01:26.099]When I'm in your system like glycerin
[01:28.105]Fans listenin' from Michigan to Switzerland
[01:30.363]Malik be bliss again, on the station with the discipline
[01:32.893]Solicitin', sometimes illicit or explicit with it and
[01:35.652]From the deep end where the hills are steep
[01:37.720]Nobody cares to speak, a land where life is cheap
[01:40.242]The street mentality mixed with the intellect personality
[01:43.826]Hell where I dwell as well
[01:45.332]N****s rebellious, bodies are found down in the cellars
[01:48.092]My man caught a shot to the stomach, now who want it?!
[01:50.601]Confronted by these dusty blunted
[01:52.116]Cats who act like they don't know that the fact is that they bein' hunted
[01:55.389]A process of elimination
[01:57.206]Activate your mind with the stimulation
[01:59.211]Enter your zone with penetration
[02:00.966]I've seen more horror than Bram Stroker
[02:03.225]Strip your broad or play poker, then drink mocha
[02:05.735]The sometimes socializer, the joke despiser
[02:08.245]You woke the wiser, dealin' with The Roots' vocalizer
[02:11.004]Up in your flesh from South Philly to West
[02:13.263]I stampede your style, I'll compile then bless
[02:14.016]
[02:15.035]Hook x2
[02:15.536]We settin' it from Southside, pushin' this up North
[02:18.045]From Illadelphian reps, to fly points across the map
[02:21.310]Bring it back to Respond/React
[02:23.148]Then bring it back to Respond/React to this
[02:24.536]
[02:34.949][Verse 3: Black Thought]
[02:35.497]A-yo, I'm just a lyricist, a chemist of the hemp
[02:38.282]The beat pimp, the ill Philly resident that's far from hesitant
[02:42.119]Corrupt like a president
[02:43.625]Never benevolent, but poetically prevalent
[02:46.057]Cooler than peppermint
[02:47.065]The Lieutenant for n****s talkin' 'bout represent
[02:49.400]No doubt, it's obviously evident I get bent
[02:52.188]Far from temporary, son, I'm very permanent
[02:54.703]Hittin' MC's like an intoxicant
[02:56.670]Sent to prevent monopoly is my intent
[02:59.510]The means is what I invent
[03:01.027]This mental murder pay the rent
[03:02.530]Lyrically, I'm the dominant ingredient
[03:04.586]The swift extravagant, smooth lubricant
[03:06.873]Down with the M-the-Ill-itant
[03:08.379](Ch-ch-ch...) — That's the sound of the Dynasty chant
[03:10.907]We surround your camp, assumin' the war stance
[03:13.406]And bring it from the chest, now let's daaance
[03:14.430]
[03:15.223][Verse 4: Malik B]
[03:15.542]M-ILL-ITANT! (What?!) Feel The Fifth guerilla chant
[03:18.516]Y'all talk about bodies, but you would not kill a ant
[03:21.027]My skill is amp, would peel a n***a like a stamp
[03:23.809]Caliber is of Excalibur, now you be damp
[03:26.310]When I operate, the crowd will copulate
[03:28.089]My game'll make a room populate
[03:29.868]And 2-1-5th is the stock of hate
[03:31.655]Peep the logistics, slump your squad of misfits
[03:33.915]They all get they wrists slit, blast your ass if you insist it
[03:36.676]Leave no trace so there's no trace for ballistics
[03:38.935]Turn your soul and body to statistics
[03:40.938]In particular, I've got that extracurricular
[03:43.196]Squad in the stash who could be stickin' ya, slip and they vickin' ya
[03:46.457]Harass your po-lice commissioner
[03:48.489]Don't like chicks with weaves talkin' 'bout, "I need conditioner"
[03:51.500]That shit's deader than n****s with a morticianer
[03:54.258]A jenazah, up in your flesh like plasma
[03:57.030]Take away your last breath when you got asthma
[03:59.582]Then meet Bad Lieu down at the plaza
[04:01.611]Hip-hop extravaganza, tell your man I slump him with a stanza
[04:04.876]Now "Who's the Boss?" — not Tony Danza
[04:06.412]My force not green, but the force is obscene
[04:08.945]P.O. took a piss test; it came out not clean
[04:11.455]Brody with my man Miz-Moose and Hakeem
[04:13.984]My squad from deuce-four up to West Oak Lane
[04:16.242]All the way to Tackawanna and Frankford, they know the name
[04:18.793]It's like that... M-Ill-itant
[04:19.810]
[04:20.109][Bridge: Black Thought]
[04:21.454]The M-Ill-itant... lyrically hostile, Bad Lieutenant
[04:23.961]Check it out, foul style, check it out
[04:24.827]
[04:25.423]Hook x4
[04:26.271]We settin' it from Southside, pushin' this up North
[04:28.861]From Illadelphian reps, to fly points across the map
[04:32.145]Bring it back to Respond/React
[04:33.905]Then bring it back to Respond/React to this
