[Black Thought]
Yo my definition is a lyricist for hire
My vocal`s a passport that never expire
Crowd loud like fifty rounds of gun fire
Screamin out `The Roots` while I balance wit the wire
Yo, expert in this profession, the session
In 1987, I linked up wit the ?uestion
Eleven years later we shared crop wit Geffen
In musical hell, but hip-hop forever heaven
My thoughts, interwoven and deep like Beethoven
This foul world so filled of shit it like a clogged up colon
Swollen wit minds that got stolen
Fake-ass cops, uncontrollable patrolmen
Torture, blood flow like bodies of water
Fathers sexually assaultin they own daughter
Out of sync, outta order like a puzzle
In the land of the unseen hand that hold juggle
In a Game of Life, yo it`s hard to roll a double
Tryin times, take lives and separate couples
Kids thinkin they grown, tellin they moms `Fuck you`
Under they breath, livin in the last times left
Peep the imagery stretch across the sky like a canvas
And we`re the artists beneath vigorous rough strokes of darkness
Time to set it off, let`s spark this
Switzerland, LET`S SPARK THIS!!
We are the ULTIMATE (rock-rockin it)
We are the ULTIMATE (rock-rockin it)
We are the ULTIMATE, rock-rockin it, rock-rockin it, rock-rockin it
We are the ULTIMATE (rock-rockin it)
We are the ULTIMATE LOUDER! (rock-rockin it)
We are the ULTIMATE
(Rock-rockin it) C`mon (Rock-rockin it) C`mon (Rock-rockin it)
Yo my definition is a lyricist for hire
You couldn`t have a clue, it`s about to transpire
The books I buy live arms ?I wire?
The Fifth, similar to ghetto gospel choir
We ex-plore the whole states plus record
In flight buds, trip that was a prisoner in war
Four-four the corridor, seal it, no floor
But I could see the drop was a mile aboard
To the bottom, electrical shock for rhymes
I said `I don`t got em`, guess it kinda presented a problem
When I understood, they said `Let him go`
I woke, during a center to London-Heathrow
And now wit a past, fuckin wit border patrol
I`m findin it out, I`m leakin wit my people
Hit the studio, spread this information
In daze of frustration fogged the education
>From Illa-Fifth to Switzerland destination
The Roots du journ, go check the translation
The dictionary of devout topics, far from ebonics
The Fifth Dynast, they can`t stop it
Yo Zurlich y`all keep it tight heed
While The Roots Crew smoke weed
Yo, we are the ULTIMATE (rock-rockin it)
We are the ULTIMATE, say what? (rock-rockin it)
We are the ULTIMATE, c`mon
(Rock-rockin it) C`mon c`mon rock-rockin it, rock-rockin it
We are the ULTIMATE (rock-rockin it)
We are the ULTIMATE LOUDER (rock-rockin it)
We are the ULTIMATE LOUDER
(Rock-rockin it) C`mon rock-rockin it, rock-rockin it
They go *Thought starts humming and Scratch does his thing*
*Crowd cheers* Send " The Ultimate" Ringtone to your Cell
