Canibus - Fraternity of the Impoverished lyrics
[Canibus - Fraternity of the Impoverished lyrics]
Fraternity of the Impoverished
Knowledge this, knowledge this
The vocalist beast
Knowledge like the Pope in this piece
You think the ocean is deep? Fuck with me!
Unbelievable bars, unbeatable odds
Unspeakable horrors at a unperceivable cost
Your unagreeable response lacks thought
And human heart this is Lyrical Law
It's what I make the music for
My prayers are simple
My forehead is layered with wrinkles
Because of all the hardships
That I've been through
Symbolic Hip Hop prophet speak
To your subconscious
Fringe politics got the public
Thinking the opposite
I'm a hypo-lyrical spontaneous alchemical
Elite neo-liberal child of the indigo
Drilling holes through the Faraday
Cages of your brains
Then I implant the arcane
Image of Saint Germaine
High lyrical exponent intelligence quotient
When I'm focused I can
Engage multiple opponents
But, I won't if, I have
No motive, "Soldier be careful
It's loaded!"
Verbose with emotions of psychosis
In case you didn't notice when I wrote it
I'm spitting lyrics fitting in tighter
Spaces than outer-space roaches
A real emcee don't have to do
What he don't wanna do
And that includes freestylin' in front of you
It's not like something gone change
It's not like the whole
World gone start praising
My name- I stay in my lane
I'd rather die by living brave
Then live like a slave
I'd rather be broke then be fake and get paid
These layers of physicality challenge me
My soul is gold and it's the only
Thing that's able to balance me
My energy body has a alchemical
Copy that looks godly
Not fat, out of shape or sloppy
The iller the rhymes the more that I embody
Vilified when real recognize real
- I gets mines
Stand with the underdog - don't be a coward
Stop dickriding people for their
Money and power!
Even the American flag says 'Made in China'
The national debt says the US is a vagina
Of a black widow spider spraying
Blood out like a geyser
Why do we lose everything we fight for?
Fathers, mothers, sons, daughters
In the land of the lawless
Sacrificed before Horus
The Inca, the Aztecs, the Mayans
Were masters a new beginning is coming -
The irony is classic
The potential of life versus
The potential of death
Either way you go through mad mental stress
God forbid for you, for her, or him
We ignored the gems now we
Gotta do it all again
We failed Hip Hop's laws and brought
Down shame upon our cause
Now we will fall upon our swords
The Shaman pays homage to Solomon
He orders them to send the witchdoctor in
Then asked me to rhyme again
Every now and then I get retarded and spit
I would like to apologize to
Every artist I dissed
Everybody assumes that I wanna
Rhyme when I don't
Sometimes I just wanna chill
And watch you flow
Mysteries of the cathedral
The dark overlords are evil
Ripped out the vocal cords of the people
I walk up to your bed side
In disguise with red eyes
And tell you to remember these rhymes
This is the season of Hip Hop
Believe it or not
I lined it up with the planet's equinox
Knowledge this, knowledge this
The vocalist beast
Knowledge like the Pope in this piece
You think the ocean is deep? Fuck with me!
Unbelievable bars, unbeatable odds
Unspeakable horrors at a unperceivable cost
Your unagreeable response lacks thought
And human heart this is Lyrical Law
It's what I make the music for
My prayers are simple
My forehead is layered with wrinkles
Because of all the hardships
