5th Element Songtext
von KJ‐52

Who am I? The one that gets laced tight
The one you wear hit a flare on the same night
That you hit an uprock
I′m the one in the closet next to one sock
The one you rock on the cardboard box walkin to the one block
You know the one spot peeps get the one shot
Got one thought on the task at hand
You can ask your man I'm part of massive plan
Only b-boys and b-girls they understand
Whatever you say now, your wish is my command
Name it, I′ll be euphoric till your head spin
Follow your lead and go anyplace that your legs bend
At your side process yeah I'm your best friend
I got a twin we's a pair clock a size ten
Head′s a shell three stripes on side
Laces large on your feets I reside
Keep me clean keep me laced and I′ll be alright
I be the first element up in here tonight
Who am I? See I'm the one that you be grippin tight
The one that make you sound real good when you be flippin right


And I′m the one that causes fights up at the open mic
I make you sound real stupid if you don't hold me right
I got emcees fiendin for me all day and night
I can care less if you on me if you black or white
See all that matters when you rock me don′t be comin wack and
Don't hold me to the speaker I′ma feedback it
I'm used for rappin every now and then used for passin
Back and forth in your crew in a freestyle fashion
I get rocked, ripped, flipped on and blasted
I'm spoke on, choked on, hit on, spit on, mastered
I′m outlastin been used to tell truth and lies
Used to kill the youth and used to open up they eyes
I come in all sizes heard all kinds of voices
Sometimes I′m plugged in, you know sometimes I'm cordless
Keep me clear keep me close and I′ll be alright
See I be the second element up in here tonight
Who am I? I got two heads and they always spinnin
I got two arms that the DJ's they use for rippin
And plus a fader in my middle that they always grippin
I′m completed with the two records used for mixin
They pullin tricks and cuttin up you know they scratchin
We mixin beat jugglin that's why they mix and matchin
All kind of beats plus the heat that I know you catchin
And I′m the one that started hip-hop in case you askin
I got knobs and faders in a mad abundance
I come in many names most times it's 1200
When I get played now you know that you truly love it
Now clean the needle on my arm or I be soundin busted
I'm disregarded treated like I ain′t legitimate
I′m makin music you don't see me as an instrument
It takes two skills to get on and be rippin it
Nobody see my contribution they ain′t gettin it
You know this one thing that really now makes me mad
They used to blow me off but now I'm the latest fad
I′m the thing that every rock band they gots to have
Now people say my name and they be like "now what is that?"
Now keep me runnin keep me spinnin and I'll be alright
And I be the third element up in here tonight
Who am I? See I′m hidin in your backpack
You tear my tip off replace it with a fat cap
I'm twelve ounces still concealed in a knapsack
You pull me out you shake me up and then attack that
Wall or train while you steady throwin up your name
Leavin these end to end burners you gainin ghetto fame
And me and my brothers now you know we come in many colors
Steady beautifyin the walls of a ghetto culture
Toys and suckas now you know they gettin dissed quick
I'm goin all city all up in your district
You owe me with control so I never drip thick
I′m taggin up your spot nobody misses it
See I′m the brush to a modern day type Da Vinci
I'm the new urban renewal for your block′s committee
I'm spoken words of the youth of an inner city
I′m vandalism but to others I'll be called graffiti
Now keep me shakin keep me sprayin and I′ll be alright
I be the fourth element up in here tonight
Who am I?
See I'm the God that you don't know about
I give you breath up in your lungs that you can′t go without
See you know the facts of my story you′ve been told about
I'm always reachin out for you but you just keep on holdin out
I know your doubts I know you thinkin that I ain′t real
See I know you forgot about me when you got your last record deal
See I know the way you feel I walk the earth just like you
And like a child up in his father's arms I long to hide you
Many times I invite you while standin here right beside you
But you walk right past you ignore my hands in here given to guide you
I gave you gifts I gave you talents
That you used just to gain your wealth
But you took my gifts and talents
Only for you just to glorify yourself
I was beaten and bruised crushed now for your iniquity
Stripped naked I was spit upon just for you to live eternally
Yet you blaspheme me you make moves without askin me
Then you blame me for your troubles and your calamities
You kiddin me?
Keep me first keep me in your life and it′s gon' be alright
See I′m Jesus Christ the fifth element up in here tonight
