Canibus - Only Slaves D.R.E.A.M. lyrics

Do you think that the powers that be
Are goin' to let you do what
You want to do for eternity?
Of course you don't, so what do you fear?
Why you spazzin' out, why you so scared?
Everybody wanna be first
Nobody wants to be last
Do you think a God that
Created this would watch
All of us die while others just laugh?
What happens when the money system crash?
And there's no more value in the cash?
You gon' suck dick and sell ass?
You gon' try to fight back with ya hands?
You probably change your money into gold
You gon' use that to try and buy soul
Buy some drugs with it, buy a piece of hole
Don't tell me, I don't wanna know
You need to come up with a better plan
The Devil smash metal weapons like glass
Right now we out matched and outclassed


We have to stay on a spiritual path
Cause in the absence of love
We blastin' one another with blood
Media shows up to capture the buzz
I'm a child of God
Not a rapper from the gutter
I'm six of one and half a dozen of the other
This is not one of those
"I told you so" moments
This is just Canibus being open
Lower egoic minds brush aside
But can't nullify the high science that
Is coming from the rhymes
I couldn't believe it the day that I was told
That every person alive does not have a soul
And is not in control of
These cotton pickin' polls
Politicians declare the war of
Attrition on the globe
And stole all the fishin' holes
Grandma got the chitlins on the stove
That'll overload the senses in your nose
Young folk can't even afford to get old
How many YouTube views before you go gold?
How many albums last week you
Sold? How many leaked downloads?
Oh, you still believe the Soundscan, bro?
Don't be discouraged
Write and produce and record and you love it
This is your art, and that's the point of it
When you get paid from it, things change
People behave stubborn
And say rude things to judge it
They want you to thug it
So they can have you like a test subject
Handcuffed and take mug shots of it
I told you before, I'm nobody's spit puppet
I say what I want
You take what you want from it
This is a social experiment put
On by the public
Hip-hop is completely corrupted
You ain't rappin' 'bout that
You ain't rappin' 'bout nothin'
I ain't never gon' starve
I been white tail huntin'
Ya'll motherfuckers is buggin'
Speakin' with no substance
Hip-hop's the way it is because of you cousin
It ain't my fault, you locked me out of it
99 percent of my fans ain't nothin'
But scumbag, scum buckets, blood suckin'
Cock fuckers my lyrics too advanced for
The average block hustler
You know my name, I'm deeply inspired
On a mountain lion meat diet
Eat and be quiet
Recycle the fire and deep fry it
That line is hot, but you said it before
You get a C minus
My shit is timeless like the
Great Wall of China
Sick in the biggest way like a dinosaur virus
Spreadin' through Verizon Wireless
Homeland Security's tryin' it, just to
See if you lyin', bis
They step to me
Never thought it would happen like this
You a flight risk, we
Need that microphone back, bis
Diversionary tactics, Magik madness
Canibus, you can't leave this
Miserable prison planet, god damnit
We don't care what your fans think
Cause 99 percent of all of this don't exist
The observer changes the properties
Of the observed this is done with your mind
Not with your words
Word? yeah, I'm about to show you nerds
You bookworms really startin' to
Get on my nerves i can't talk like you
But I can understand you
I know what this entire ordeal can expand to
I love Hip-Hop, I've always been a fan too
I'm a big fan of everything you do
I appreciate the purchases
The online searches
I hope you enjoy the verses
It was great to be of service
This was always my purpose
I'm always workin' to be
A better person everyday
And still growin' like the Earth is
Peace to the Gods and the Earths, kid
