Yo one two one two one two
That's how we usually start
once again it's the Thought
The Dalai Lama of the mic
the prime minister Thought
This directed to whoever
in listening range
Yo the whole state of things
in the world bout to change
Black rain fallin
from the sky look strange
The ghetto is red hot
we steppin on flames
Yo it's infliction
on a price for fame
and it was all the same
but then the antidote came
The Black Thought
ill syllablist out the Fifth
This heavyweight rap shit
I'm about to lift
LIKE a phyllum lift up
it's seed to sunlight
I plug in the mic
draw like a gunfight
I never use a cordless
or stand applaudless
Sippin cholorophyll out
of ill silver gauntlet
I'm like a faucet
monopoly's the object
There ain't no way to cut this tap
you got ta get wet
Your head is throbbin
and I ain't said shit yet
The Roots crew
the next movement c'mon
And yes y'all
You are now in tune
to the sounds
of the legendary foundation
check it out uh
Testin yo you go
Hey you listeners
stop what you're doin and
set it in motion
it's the next movement
You listeners
stop what you're doin and
set it in motion

the HOT music
The HOT HOT music

The HOT HOT music
the HOT music
Word up
the formation of words to fit
That's what I usually
disturb you with
A lot of rappers never heard of
this
or know half the time it is
You doubt the Illa Fifth
what could you accomplish
Whether they skywriting your name
or you anonymous
You be speechless
with stinging sinuses
The Roots royal highnesses
through your monitors
I tilt my crown
then blow down a dime a kiss
You need to buy a CD
and stop rewindin this
I'm the finalist
shinin like a rugged amethyst
And at your music conference
I'm the panelist
Listen close to my poetry
I examine this
like an analyst
to see if you can handle this
Check it out
You got the groove emcees
freeze stand still
nobody move
unless you dealin
with The Next Movement
The P Phi D
we be the monument
I live my life nice
but I'm not choopid
You theatrical as a Broadway play
this ain't Rent
One hundred percent
straight out the Basement
Spreading this across a planet
on some next shit
How many people feelin
this love music C'mon

Yo you go
Hey you listeners
stop what you're doin and
set it in motion
it's the next movement
You listeners
stop what you're doin and
set it in motion
