[Hook – Joanna Newsom] We should shine a light on, a light on And the Book of Right On is right on It was right on
[Verse 1 – Black Thought] I try to get it how I live it A lot of people counting on me kind of like a digit It's a cold world, I'm not fronting like it isn't It's no time for coming up shorter than a midget Y'all know I'mma raise the bar though like Brigitte See there a star go, don't blink, you might miss it It's precious cargo you got to be strong to lift it The light comes in different types, be more specific Shit, I'm Black Thought what could be more prolific For this love I go above and beyond the limit I told y'all I'm above and beyond a gimmick I get into your head and spread like a pandemic I never put myself in a race I can't finish I'm well grounded, founded on the same premise As any man with a hit list that's about business Yo can a brother get a witness? Dig it Right on
[Hook]
[Verse 2 – Sugar Tongue Slim] Ok I'm above and beyond hot, my measurement in watts Time rate of flow and energy ain't never going to stop Pressure's on I won't pop, microphone I won't drop Gemstones niggas cop ain't shit if I ain't in the spot It's the Orion of the hop, the new star of the hip I shine a light for the future so my present's a gift It's evident I'm heaven sent with Thomas Edison elements Reverence for what I represent should show my benevolence This is Philly, I'm repping for the art of the city Came from southwest Atlanta, gave my heart to the city Where slugs fly, thugs cry, cause every part of it's gritty Niggas shooting up the club like they party with Diddy Get the diggy? I flip my incandescents to flourescents And in essence I can burn 1000 joules of energy per second I put them on to lessons while I'm smoking on the blessing The switch hitter like Pete Rose, right up the session Right on
