Canibus - How the Story Goes lyrics

The rhymes that I write are not finite
But visual computer bytes from
Satellites under lunar twilight
Zoom to your facial features
Put your face on ice
I've been waiting for this fight since
The blade was on the knife
The less that we thought
The more that we fought harden our hearts
But your pain will not soften my response
We fight for greed, not for god
This fight feels wrong
So how long 'til we fight no more?
Patriotism starts with the need to defend
To Serve and Protect what you
Love from a threat
We naturally progress in steps towards death
Sometimes from loss of life
Sacrifice and regret
Conquests begets nightmares and always stress
I still weep for those who have not yet wept
By all means tell the truth
But tell it with a slant
Tell it from behind the gates
Of a Concentration Camp
Can-IBus? No! Not now you can't
Understand? Megalodon Man wants to have
A word with you fam' time signatures change
Words appear not to be the same
Yes, it sounds insane, but it's just Germaine
Picture the human brain tryna
Map recognizable patterns
With unrecognisable raps with
Sizeable subject matter
Avoid the white noise
Cut through the chatter
The Mic' Grappler Hip Hop track thrasher
I am the master of all rappers
Evolution of our species, ahh, speak please
Now we are speaking at different frequencies
Which style do I deploy
Depends on who you talk to
Every album is different
This is just a walk through
Fronting on the God
Remember what I taught you
The weak hearted always want
Piggy back off you
Shipwrecked in time suspended in the
Form of a rhyme
At the most unfortunate times
Spitbox International close quarter Hip
Hop battle groups
Where and when can I battle you?!
To present you with a certificate that
States you are fit to spit
How long you think it took
To rhyme like this?
I stand still and emotionless
In this moment of disgust
Wondering who the fuck can I trust
Us?! What do they mean by Us?
United by One Mind, but divided by blood
Sharpshooter Canibus gon' bust when
He have to but why do he have to? That's
What I wanna ask you
People going at you, the people going at you
This is unnatural, I rap for the youth
Poetic presided speaker
May I see your masterpiece research?
It's not ready, it's an incomplete verse
As my thoughts begin to calm
The evil nature of the song
Rip The Jacker loved by many
But hated by them all
I've been repping Hip Hop since
I was 10 years old
And you all know how the story goes!
My Adidas have 3 stripes and white shell-toes
And you all know how the story goes!
Got paid to hustle, got paid to flow
And you all know how the story goes!
The illest nigga alive
By now you should know
And you all know how the story goes!
