Canibus - Poet Laureate lyrics
[Canibus - Poet Laureate lyrics]
Yo, Houston to Earth
Watch the Ripper crucify you with verse
My urethra to ya uvula quenches your thirst
Put your flames out with dry
Desert dirt where leopards lurk
Lock your soul down with
An esoteric weapon search
Strap a bomb to one of
Your labels record clerks
And activate it as soon as they get to work
Ring the alarm, red alert
Nigga it gets worse
Bypass security networks with select words
Megahertz make nebulas reverse till
Your head burst
Call the press first and ask them
Who got the best verse
Give me the respect I deserve
If you are what you eat
It's obvious I can't eat what I'm worth
Y'all niggas eat pussy and burp
The other half of y'all suck dick till
Your jaws and ya neck hurt
When you address me nigga
End your sentence with, "Sir"
Critics went berserk they ain't even
Heard my best work
See I broke into the mind by
Quietly going by their eardrum walls
And hotwired they skulls
Yeah I earned the name Canibus
But what did it cost?
Battle rap is nothing but
A serendipitous whore niggas probably like
What the fuck he dissing him for?
Yeah he dissed me first but
You was never informed
I'm one of the top five nigga
My shit is tight nigga
You heard it right nigga, I rock mics nigga
But the limelight isn't where I belong
The top four don't even look
In the mirror no more
If they did I'd be in the
Mirror looking back at 'em
Ready to grab them
Kidnap them and put them on my album
I rip jackers, Rip the time space fabric
Loop the future with the past
Tense looking for patterns
Eradicate Africans that sold
Africans to Saxons
And forced black men to pay taxes
Attack a wack bitch with counter tactics
Split your bullet proof chassis in
Half with a rapid Gatling
Keep firing at you till you trapped in
Non-combatants scramble for
Helicopter extraction
While I'm back at Fort Bragg bragging
How I tortured them faggots and stabbed
Them with Rip the Jacker daggers
Slay dragons with old passages
From black magic manuscripts
I found in the cabinet written in Arabic
Translate to characters one by one
Like Arafat tarot cards suggest
I make terrorist threats through
Your stereo sets
Various anthrax carriers sending sarin
To the press
With an imaginary address, Cani's the best
Untraceable, your pictures unpaintable
Canvas that's wet
Let me dry you off wit some
Of this fire I spit
26 years old nigga look how I spit
A microphone fiend since I was like 14
My Cuban uncle used to sell cocaine, OK?
I'm reloaded, you fucking wit the wrong MC
Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease to the
Whole industry potent as Hennessey that was
Distilled in Tennessee
One shot scrambles your memory indefinitely
Nowadays a hundred bars ain't
Impressive to me
You stepping to me nigga do it intelligently
You wanna battle or you wanna
Fucking wrestle wit me
You ain't better than me
You just got an obsession wit me
Canibus hybrid, the cake icing of rhymeness
As I grow older I get
Colder like the declining climate
Of earth's environment, I'm entirely tireless
Rhymes come from my higherness
Of wireless dialect
Scientists from Sirius B designed my specs
Astrally project during heightened sex
Chakras connect
Doctors inspect what they can't
Possibly interpret yet
That's why they revert to threats
They curse and throw fit's
They like immature earth cadets looking like
Captain Kirk in a dress
Lyrically I step on you, rip on you
Then I defecate what I just digested on you
I'm better than you, I'm better than you
I'm better than you
Just to get the chequered flag I'll
Put the pressure on you
Put the extra effort on you write
A motherfucking letter to you
And your editors too, threatening you
Detective check your mail and
Your messages too
You can take this verbal slashing that
I left as a clue
Execute the type of wickedness
The devil approves
Which basically means I can
Do whatever with you
I'm a rap music mutant with a cool name
Misconstrue fame, but I spit butane
Blue flames out giant CO2 tanks
Demagnetize memory banks, enhanced, advanced
One of a kind like modern man's retina scans
Quick as a glance and
Flickers from kerosene lamps
What you want me to break first?
Your jaw or your grill?
What type of spit you want
From me? Sparkling or still?
Study law, Yale draw up my own deals
So the longer they resist me
The stronger I feel
Spread the ganglia from Tanzania
To the flats of East Anglia, give up
You can't keep up
The man eater in a wife beater
Spreading Typhoid Fever through mic
Receivers with light reverb
Type in the right keywords, I might emerge
Takes a really nice nigga
To incite these nerds
Niggas wanna see the gully in me
Keep fucking with me never under pressure
I keep the pressure under me burn the weed
Drop a freestyle on the internet then
Watch niggas burn the CD
Upload a picture of your mum getting DP'd
I'm one size away from 13
Believe it she peed
I'm the illest and it's gonna
Be that way forever
Word of mouth is good but a
Mouth of words is better nigga
No body gets sicker than the Ripper
Watch the Ripper crucify you with verse
My urethra to ya uvula quenches your thirst
Put your flames out with dry
Desert dirt where leopards lurk
Lock your soul down with
An esoteric weapon search
Strap a bomb to one of
Your labels record clerks
And activate it as soon as they get to work
Ring the alarm, red alert
Nigga it gets worse
Bypass security networks with select words
