[Gift of Gab]   We'd like to welcome you all again to the world of vibrations   Introduction to the nation of revolutionary thoughts   Hear the sound evolve, expand, and change   Most of the things that we're sayin' haven't broken through your chatter   So y'all niggaz still ego trip based and   Have not begun to taste the kundalini wisdom bliss   I'm droppin' as a lyric quotin' vessel for the stages   Play this on your play list   I like dough   But musically I'm transcendin' the physical   And don't blame me for the slang and the words   God writes these rhymes through me   I just listen to him   I'm just livin' duke   Matrix driven rules haven't fooled me   Cuz I still think abstract   And stay metaphysical   And challenge what is really real   And keep creatin' with the force to bring rap back   Not that it's away   But everybody got somethin' to say   So let me speak the opposite of what's hot now   And make that hot   So it will get exploited   And the corporation only will back dudes who bite my style   And they can try and try again   I've been influenced by a lot of pioneers   South to the East and West   But when a hot MC   Gets on stage with a real MC   Most of the time the situation gets hostile      [Chorus: Ledisi]   We vibrate at higher frequencies   Welcome to our world and intro to   Fall into a space   Where there is no thoughts   Just moments captured   Here we go      We vibrate at higher frequencies   Let us up inside your head   Just step inside our world of vibration   Bump this from your birth to your deathbed      [Gift of Gab]   Take time with the pad and the pen to dig within   In a world of BS that we're livin' in   To my ears music sound sweet as cinnamon   So I stay poundin' out tunes and tunes again and again   In the 5th chapter ladies and gentlemen   And I still got MCs on my dinner menu   Write late at night this isn't David Letterman though   On second thought, I'm like a letter man though   Let the craft evolve catch a little syndrome   Shootin' through your veins, vibratin' though your eardrums   Used to think 30 years old then the end comes   Now I feel like I'm just gainin' momentum   Seen the world two times all except for India   About to vacate there when we finish this one   Work hard but still some sweep   We won't mention them   In fact, they act as fuel for our engine   Engine engine number 9, mic lynchin'   When we're done with this these songs are our pension   MCs are puppets, Me, I'm Jim Henson   Take a squat or get chopped by the henchmen   City, town, state arena or convention   Please believe these the G's that ease pension   Rakka and Ev said that it's a marathon   Song after song, we keep on inventin'      [Chorus] - repeats
