Canibus - Tell the Truth lyrics
[Canibus - Tell the Truth lyrics]
Excuse me mister DJ, can you please
Play my daddy's record?
What you arewhat you'll always be!
Come on! kill me!
Worlds to conquer resources to plunder
I am what you made me
A motherfuckin' monster!
Worlds to conquer resources to plunder
I am what you made me
A motherfuckin' monster!
Worlds to conquer resources to plunder
Canibus, Vinnie Paz! Monsters!
Solitude in the life of a
Ripper is quite bitter
I ain't no social network nigga
Fuck Twitter!
If I can't be lyrical I get miserable
You don't want me to be miserable
So let me go or detain me, entertain me
Talk to me frankly
This is how you thank me? I'm
One of the good guys thankfully
Good equals evil, how can it be?
How can it be? See!
I am exactly the way I was made
Even when I change
Lyrical content still bangs
Can't wait to hear what you spit over this
The beat flatline, I rhyme Jedi Mind Tricks
Vinnie Paz cannabis philanthropist
Pass it to Canibus for the assist
I hold my breath
Then I burn the shit down from
The ground to the roof
All ground troops against one Canibus nuke
Next time you regroup? Bring a chemical suit
'Cause, I don't want to get vegetable
Soup puke on my boots
The wave that interpermeates time
Will flat line
Radially we will be inside that line
Jedi Mind third eye will identify
The force that binds
Force of the rhyme's eternal
Solar sign sunspots bitten sunshine
Wow like Busta Rhymes
Give me the track, if I touch it–it's mine
Duct tape you to the table
Hook you up to the jumper cables
Remember what I told you about Azâzêl
Worlds to conquer, resources to plunder
I am what you made me–a motherfuckin' monster
But check this out it ain't
Never righteous to lie
On your brother, man you know I'm saying
Tell the
Truth if it got something to do with me and
You gonna air it out to the world, tell
The truth man i came up to
The studio to discuss the track
How he was gonna do it he
Told me he was getting 80 gs a track from
Christina Aguilera the seven tracks
She was hype
He was all cheesy and smiling he was
Happy about it he charged me
40 Gs for the track we was
Gonna do eloise cut you
The check, sent you your first half
Scheduled the studio
Time i came up to D & D, dirty ass D & D
First day he was an hour late
Second day he was
Two hours late, third day he
Was three hours late
Fourth day he was four hours late come
On man, tell the truth when I stepped to you
Asked you "Yo, tomorrow are you gonna be
Are you gonna be five hours late tomorrow?"
You say "Yo, my bad Bis
I had to move my mother out
Of the house" So I say
"All right, just call man
Just call and let me know
What you're doing you busy
So I don't have to wait for you so
I don't have to wait in the studio
Because I got shit to do
Everybody got shit to do
Around 5 o'clock in the evening"
Come on now I don't know what it is man
Niggas bringing up some shit
From 14 years ago like that shit is current
News, like it's important now what's
Important now? How's that important?
Look how many times we
Work together since then, or how many times
I seen you since then and then
Everybody want to know what's
Wrong with the culture know what
I'm sayin'? Come on man
It's not a good look how does that help
Anyone in this situation except you? How
Does it help me to for you
To be out there saying
I'm difficult to work with? How
Does that help me? How
Does it help you? You kick dirt on me
That helps you
Though right? Make you feel better
Right? Come on now
Tell the truth you was late
To the studio like you
Didn't take it serious like
It wasn't important
To you you shovel shit on me
Like I wasn't 100% professional in working
With you like I didn't come
Through to the sessions and wait for 10
Hours i worked with DR Period
On "Salute" Everything was dope ask DR
Period how our studio session was
How I was professional ask Flat Top how I
Was professional i had to go to Rakim's
Crib five times before he did the
Record but he did it
And the days before the day that he wrote it
He was just
Building, and I enjoyed it why you
Don't speak on that? Speak
On the shit that's good for
Hip hop good for you, and good for me
Why shovel shit on me for no reason?
Who you working for? What agenda
You have? How are you helping hip
Hop by doing that? I
Do my best on every track i
Go hard on every record but
You wanna go on TV and
Radio and what have you
And say "yeah Canibus was this and Canibus
Was that" for no reason! 14 years
Ago why you don't talk about
What we did on C of Tranquility
Come on now tell the
Truth every album I do the
Best that I can do, the
Best that circumstances will admit me
At that time nobody's perfect
But God damn it if I don't
Give it everything though
100 at all times and it's as if there is
Some sort of movement, or some sort
Of deliberate attempt to always, when it
Comes to Canibus, that's always bringing up
Old shit, something from 14, 15 years
Ago always old shit never what's currently
Coming out of Canibus's catalogue
What he's doing currently and it's like
A deliberate attempt by the media
And everybody who got a
Motherfuckin' microphone in their
Hand and five minutes to do a
Little video bite to talk about old shit
When my name come up cause
It's always comin' up somewhere
It's always comin'
Up and to combat that pressure niggas
Is talkin' about old shit instead of what
Most recently came out talk about
The Magick album and what was being said
On that album talk about C of
Tranquility and the topics and
Subject matter touched
On that talk about something that
Relevant to now don't bring up some old
Shit that ain't got nothing to do
With nothing come on now you know
What you doing ran that baton for so far
Man you ain't never supposed to
Say something foul about the
Kid man how does that help you?
The irony about it is, that
You smilin' talkin over it it's bad for
Me but you smiling though and
When I get a little uptight about
It, say something about it
Everybody look at me like i'm out of bounds
And I'm out of bounds you the one
That's smiling, lying you already knew!
And when I say aight
Tell the truth tell the truth
What happened tell them niggas you was the
One who was late to the studio
Every day you was late come on
Now tell the motherfuckin' truth man
Tell the truth it's like you didn't
Want to do the record
Everything about you and your body
Language is telling me
You didn't wanna do the record
Play my daddy's record?
What you arewhat you'll always be!
Come on! kill me!
Worlds to conquer resources to plunder
I am what you made me
A motherfuckin' monster!
Worlds to conquer resources to plunder
I am what you made me
A motherfuckin' monster!
Worlds to conquer resources to plunder
Canibus, Vinnie Paz! Monsters!
Solitude in the life of a
