Push Up Ya Lighter Lyrics - Illadelph Halflife - The Roots

Yeah, to all my peoples on the planet stimulatin' the 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' the 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 

Southeast to Pennsylvania 

Transportation Authority is what I'm probably on 

If I ain't whippin' a land throughout ya section 

My mind's in traum', nine times out of ten 

I rhymes upon the L Train within my brain 

Fountains over rugged mountains of my terrain 

Diggit, 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 he same 

We realized this a planet of Cream, to obtain 

When the predominant rap, conglomerate rap 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 niggaz think that killing's living real 

Shorties is getting wetted, fulfilling 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 labryinth of nonsense 

This is a consequence of being Philly residents 

Tryin' to get it on, the rhythm gettin' shitted on 

The exquisite I exhibit to shine, yo 

To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin' the 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' the 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 diners where you find 'em lost 

Niggaz hearts so cold, they sport frost 

The M-the-illitant, the Bad Lieutenant kill your camp 

You're now a victim of reality, my personality 

Afflicted, for three to five if convicted 

Illicit, because most cats will live corrupted 

It ain't no pity in this inner city niggaz fuckin' 

Exquisite I exhibit the shine, now check it out 

To all my peoples on the planet stimulatin' the 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' the 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 face the true heartache 

When I first started, but then few remember this 

Anti-Gangsta Bitch, sporting new jewels 

Plain Jane styles internal, 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 passing 

Those matching this intellect identify, for like minds 

Intertwine one thought in unison 

We exquisite I exhibit the shine 

Yeah, to all my peoples on the planet stimulatin' the 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' the 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' the 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' the 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
