Canibus - 2000 B.C. (Before Can-I-Bus) lyrics

My offense is a mixture of Mike and Muhammad
Knock a nigga unconscious and talk shit
In bare-knuckle boxin', speed is the object
Weavin' and dodgin' with defensive blockin'
So in the ring, you cannot win
The top ten become nine dead if
I ever decide to hop in
With the one-two, one-two shot to the chin
Knock you out
Like ten shots of vodka and gin
The beautiful blend of power and strength
From the top of my head
Down to where my toe cuticles end
I verbally burn a nigga
Lyrically hurt a nigga
Put a voodoo verse on a nigga
Kennedy curse a nigga
Who can spit the words quicker
Than the average man?
Who can embarrass a man? Bite you with fangs
And mangle your hands on candid
Cam? The Canibus can the Canibus can
With the stamina to damage a man

It's been a long time
I shouldn't have left you
Without a strong rhyme to step to
I told y'all (C'mon) I roast y'all (C'mon)
So come on (Hold on) hold on!
It's been a long time
I shouldn't have left you
Without a strong rhyme to step to
I told y'all (C'mon) I roast y'all (C'mon)
So come on (Hold on) hold on!

Yo, I spit for it, rhyme for it, live for it
Die for it)
Back out the 9, commit a homicide for it
If I'm handcuffed with the right
To remain silent for it
I'ma blow trial and do the
Federal time for it
You mad at the last album, I apologize for it
Yo, I can't call it
Motherfuckin' Wyclef spoiled it
But this time for '99 I got 5 on it
You should double up and put a dime on it
Matter of fact
Triple your nickel and put 1499 on it
I'ma shine on it
Watch Flex drop the bomb on it
About ten times on it
Watch people call a request line for it
Cipha Sounds keep pushin' rewind on it
Look out for the album with
The Canibus design on it
12 o'clock in the morning you'll be
Standing on line for it i'm a live poet
With a sharp ear and eye for it
‘Cause, I tear down mics and put
A out-of-order sign on it

It's been a long time
I shouldn't have left you
Without a strong rhyme to step to
I told y'all (C'mon) I roast y'all (C'mon)
So come on (Hold on) hold on!
It's been a long time
I shouldn't have left you
Without a strong rhyme to step to
I told y'all (C'mon) I roast y'all (C'mon)
So come on (Hold on) hold on!

Yo, I rip shit with
The ballistic characteristics
Of a hollow-tip at point-blank distance
I flip shit when I spit shit Father
Forgive Bis i just snatched the Jesus
Piece off some Christians
‘Cause they sounded like idiots
They went from silver to gold to platinum
After the millennium they'll probably
Be wearing Iridium
They so gassed, if a bitch sucked they dick
They'd probably cum helium
Y'all niggas can't be serious
I was nice before ice
Before Christ, before the words
"Let there be light"
And a light took over the night
I was born with a mic lord of the mic
Before all plant and animal life
Took this rap shit to new heights
Before the Wright brothers took flight
Before dog fightin' and aerial strikes
Before MC's picked up pens
And started to write
Before promotional marketin' and posterlights
The Can-IBus'll bust up mics
Punch out lights
Punch out your motherfuckin' eyesight
For the title bout fight ask Ty Fyffe
I snatch the track for half price
The Canibus is too nice give me that mic!

It's been a long time
I shouldn't have left you
Without a strong rhyme to step to
I told y'all (C'mon) I roast y'all (C'mon)
So come on (Hold on) hold on!
It's been a long time
I shouldn't have left you
Without a strong rhyme to step to
I told y'all (C'mon) I roast y'all (C'mon)
So come on (Hold on) hold on!
