100 Dundee

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

One one one one two

P-P-5-D

Yeah, yeah, P-P-5-D

I'm sayin, yo

Touch this yo, knahmsayin what?

Yo-yo, yo, 100%..

[Black Thought]

Yo! On these seventy-three keys, of ivory and ebony

I swear solemnly that I'll forever rock steadily

People wanna know where Malik? He right next to me

The weaponry, the secret recipe

Hard to peep this, deep shit, shows I eat with

Contaminated thoughts I walk the street with

I bayonnet cassettes and chop beats with

this olympic lyricism you can't, compete with

Globe travellin, throwin your verse like a javelin

Things Fall Apart and MC's unravellin

Backstage whisperin to management like

"change the order, it's no way that we can rock after them"

My man sport the 'fro like _What's Happenin?_

From the latest hi-atus, The Roots back again

Your crew practicin to catch this natural blend

They packages read "care when handlin"

It's all soft shit, batteries not included with

Matter of fact, your whole front's a re-enactment

I blow your ba-tty ass into fragments, P-5-D

The new testament, mic specialist, what?

Yeah

Check it out, yo (3X)

Yo yo, Black Thought, I represent the Fifth Dynasty

Malik B, I represent the P-5-D

Guerilla click, 100% Dundee

The Milli-illitant-tant, 'pon cock, ready to rock

Power out, in the clout, it seems out, all through your block

Posse don't play the cut, but what, you get sheist

Got the personality named trife, ready to heist

Smashin 'graphs, snatch the ice, crush your mental device

Thought twice, shoulda thought once, got played for the dunce

Dialogues I moderate, cool out, we outta state

Just blendin in the great, give me room to ventilate

Most niggaz is fraudulent, the rap seargeant

Bargin, through your regiment, call your president

Hittin all targets cuz it's a cause that's lost

Between the killers when they probably Teddy Ruxpin talk

Droppin tears of steel, two drops up in the bucket

Facin three ? and a cop so yo fuck it

If I get abducted, trapped up in the belly

Wacked up my celly, get known like Dawn Stanley

You know the deally on the daily in the ?

If I sense you got a bend to your kite, then send it up

We press up on your corner with windows they're tinted up

Lay our props face down on the ground and get it up, what?

Face on the ground and get it up

Check it out

While you pose for pictures, I'm the invisible enigma

Down low, scope you off the roof like the fiddler

Cage you up in the vocal booth, you're held prisoner

Watch, while I'm bangin out this hot shit from Sigma

Illa-del-P-A, live without a DJ

And it's been that way, since Sergio Vallente

Yo, The Roots holdin it down, is all you can say

Plus the Black Thought em-cey, professional-lay

Push pen to paper like Chinua Achebe

Thumpin, what was your assumption

I lace your function, make it a Black Thought production

Word up I'm on somethin, stellar hold off course

I'm gone bluntin, travel light and broadcast

via satellite, Illa-Fifth Dynamite

Lyrically calculus in this arithametic hip-hop metropolis

But loyal fiends coppin this hot shit

Yaknahmsayin? Hot shit, word up

Illa-Fifth hot shit y'all
