Lyrics

The fifth element throwing all the other four elements into play
Looking at the world through tortoise shell gazelles
Two styles, one separate, half locked but parallel
The lesser without the greater just couldn't suffice
So with cans, tiles, tables and mice we serve Christ
I can't conceive why those in disbelief
Stand back in awe, they should be sighs of relief
I'm thinking like this, it all seems correct
To use the gifts He gave to glorify, never neglect
That known fact, review the Word, it stays intact
Should have seen that from the day they rolled the stone back
Trusted with ableness of the extraordinary
To challenge your physical and make your spirit double daring
We Brooklyn rock and rhyme, people take it for granted
We move the gospel global, universal across the planet
Since the birth of this they seen the bestest and the worstest
Some claim original but they just pose to be a perpetrist
Biters, counterfeiting God's designs
Like there were twelve hundred techniques in two thousand by Gemini
He aims to fade the cross and try to scratch the win
Be continuous in your mix and then transform you back to sin
But I ain't with it, cause Christ is more than just a figment
Apply God, tips livid, vivid like Krylon pigment
I don't mind perverted, kill it in a minute
But the fact is remain to rhyme Christ centered and oriented
Watch waves get buffed trying to follow the example
The power to tread and trample, clear the battle like a sample
Yes, yes, y'all, and it don't stop
Christ reigns supreme, be the sure shot
Take a break from rhyming and record playing
The real masterpiece is in the inner's activation
Some have doubt about the true fifth element
The same yesterday is today, that settles it
Take a break from rhyming and record playing
The real masterpiece is in the inner's activation
Some have doubt about the true fifth element
The same yesterday is today, that settles it
I think back when I was a hip-hop tot
Shuffled on box tops, dub tapes from Cousin Scott
Then it seemed different once Christ was implemented
With the fifth element in it, the skills are permitted
No rule breaking, that's the art of emceeing
Master's commissioned, no, His profession is living, being
Contact the cross, recognize the blood lost
Talent you received all expense, no cost
Emmanuel, the greatest emcee the world has ever known
Every time He bust, thousands came to the show
Emmanuel, the greatest B-boy the earth has ever seen
When it was time for Him to break, He wiped the slate clean
Freshly white, bright, shining like neon
Buff what stood before like some legal walls of peace on
Like Phanatik says, don't rap the mysteries revealed
While we sport Adidas, by the stripes we were sealed
Without the rhythm of the Word, the verse ain't complete
While my KJV vibrated the concrete
Take a break from rhyming and record playing
The real masterpiece is in the inner's activation
Some have doubt about the true fifth element
The same yesterday is today, that settles it
Take a break from rhyming and record playing
The real masterpiece is in the inner's activation
Some have doubt about the true fifth element
The same yesterday is today, that settles it
Take some time, read between the sine waves
Excel in excellence plus divine is what the rhyme states
Eight track CDs back around the vinyl plates
Formed parts of tracks, see how your mind waits
We've confronted people that doubted what we do
I migrate with factors unheard of a chosen few
Reason I state that many receive a calling
But some wade in the water while few are down for all in
Total submission, submerged in the pursuit
In the trek for holiness instead of cars, ladies and loot
Down like bubble jackets for refining test again
Keep the walk tight, left and right like a pedestrian
Many times I read the Word, many times I've been astounded
Integrity and diligence make an emcee well rounded
What is a DJ if he can't scratch?
What is an emcee if he can't rap?
What's a disciple if his walk's wack?
El Shaddai renews it all, baby, just like that
Take a break from rhyming and record playing
The real masterpiece is in the inner's activation
Some have doubt about the true fifth element
The same yesterday is today, that settles it
Take a break from rhyming and record playing
The real masterpiece is in the inner's activation
Some have doubt about the true fifth element
The same yesterday is today, that settles it
Take a break from rhyming and record playing
The real masterpiece is in the inner's activation
Some have doubt about the true fifth element
The same yesterday is today, that settles it
One, two, three, four, five
Five elements
Fifth Element, the activation of the inner man
