Canibus - No Return lyrics
[Canibus - No Return lyrics]
No return
Yo, scientists gather in a
Secret place to debate
They photographed the Earth from Space
And saw my face they tried to translate the
Innate asiatic shape
Before the final earthquakes came but
It was too late only one eighth of the human
Race escaped to space
They were chased by flying phenomenon
To the lunar base
Flotillas and space centers
Lasers probed the entrance
DNA code sensors reject old genetics
I presented my cosmic clearance to
A patrol of medics
I was injected with sodium
Pentathol and questioned
I relayed the message the way I
Was trained to remember it
I showed them the keypad code and
Told 'em to enter it
I told 'em which alphanumeric
Buttons were sensitive
He snatched it outta my hand
And started depressing it
I told him detonation was definite
If he kept at it he never quit
He just lost his temper and flipped
I bowed my head like "I guess this is it"
My ears popped
The music stopped and I couldn't hear shit
Adon olam, asher malach
B'terem kol y'tzir nivra
L'et na'asah v'cheftzo kol
Azai melech sh'mo nikra
The driver jogged around to the
Front and opened the door
He said his name was Muhammed Jamal and
He'd be with me till fall
He said the escort service had called
And a package would be waiting
For me at the window i said, "Thanks"
He grabbed my bags fast and
Put 'em in the trunk
Then he ran around to the front
Slammed it in gear
Pulled off slow, winding down his window
And asked me if I minded if
He smoke, I said, "No", he drove off
Cut my cellphone off
Then I swallowed a tablet of Zoloft
Went to sleep and woke up feeling kinda lost
I asked him what the
Weather's been like lately
He said he doesn't mind the
Heat and hates the A c
Said he had a son who
Was eighteen and made beats
And I happened to be his favorite emcee
I said for real, that's crazy
I meet him later
Yo, Jamal could you please, do me a favor
When we get to the corner stop at the bodega
Hopped out the car, walked inside
The store's stereo was playing Feliz Navidad
I got a pack of condoms and walked
To the back of the line
There was three Taliban that
Was talking very loud
One reached in his backside and
Pulled out a Beretta gun
The last word I heard myself say
Was a four letter one
He looked me in the eye and
Said the drama's never done
Cause there's 'No Return'
Adon olam, asher malach
B'terem kol y'tzir nivra
L'et na'asah v'cheftzo kol
Azai melech sh'mo nikra
I heard the ringtone of the red phone
Headquarters informed us there was an
Explosion in the red zone
We were ordered to get ready to go
And to get into our bio-weapons
Protective gear and clothes
I rode shotgun, my partner Ramirez drove
GPS control gave us coordinates where to go
Soon as we got there I could feel the hot air
For a second I stopped and stared
There was cops everywhere
I told 'em we need to
Get a square perimeter clear
We got an hour till nightfall
So light some flares
I said a twenty second prayer then
Ran to the second chair
The lift that was there
Then I waved my hands up in the air
To signal that it was clear
Before I ran upstairs i could barely see
Smoke was so thick in the air
I was visually impaired and
Started to get scared
I heard a woman scream
"Help!" but I didn't know where
I started screaming back
"I'm not gonna leave you here"
Saying to myself, "Damn
It's hard to breathe in here"
Searched the rooms one by one like
"fuck my lungs"
Ramirez said the fire truck got
Stuck by the front
I crawled all the way through the foyer
To the end of the hallway
And seen her on the floor next to the doorway
I was half unconscious but I
Just ignored the pain
Helped her to her feet and she
Had her arm in a brace
All this tar-like black stuff was
All in her face
I radio Ramirez coughing and tried to explain
I heard him say something to me like
"It's all in flames!"
There was ceiling debris falling
All over the place i looked her in her eye
She looked into mine, it was strange
Then I blinked for the last time
And never saw her again
Adon olam, asher malach
B'terem kol y'tzir nivra
L'et na'asah v'cheftzo kol
Azai melech sh'mo nikra
