Canibus - They Don't Know lyrics

"They don't know what they fuckin' with
They don't know how you bussin' 'Bis
They don't know how you comin' man
They don't know how you done this shit
Yo, show them how a brotha spit

The emcee, with the NOTTZ

"Ayo canibus'll spark it for ya
Nottz'll paint the target for ya
MicClub'll launch it towards ya
This is the beginning of the rest of my life
Grippin' the mic, and rippin'
It right, you listen, you like you dislike
You get disciplined with the pipe
Muzzle flashes a light that
Says goodbye to life
I'm antisocial but humble
I'll blow a hole in you
To get a hello from you
If that's what it comes to


A little camera-shy, I play the background
Turn the mic on, lock the cage
I attack crowds
Ya'll niggas is just clones that rhyme
From a bloodline that's closer
To yours than mine
You ignore the signs but we all divine
DJ's rewind, MC's distort the time
Sharp enough to read your mind I
Can hear your applause in silence
Ya'll fuckin' with an awesome talent

"They don't know what they fuckin' with
They don't know how you bussin' 'Bis
They don't know how you comin' man
They don't know how you done this shit
Yo, show them how a brotha spit

"They don't know what they fuckin' with
They don't know how you bussin' 'Bis
They don't know how you comin' man
They don't know how you done this shit
Yo, show them how a brotha spit

"Yo you've gotta call this a comeback
I've been here for years
You should thank God for
Answering your prayers
The Hip Hop hero, off of Hip Hop skid row
I'll rip a show for a beer and a smoke
You know that Hip Hop flow
That got them clearing both coasts
For that Hip Hop show
Where I appear as the host
Used to be the type of emcee
They were scared to approach
Nowadays I just share what I know
Spare what I don't
Might act like I care, but I don't
See, they want me to share
It's only logical they fear what I wrote
Forty-fives with broken handles
Go off like roman candles
Ricocheting through your mans and you
They're so busy tryin' to get
An ambulance for you
They ain't notice that a fan was hit too
Planning to sue
They've got a lot of anger for you
Switch places with the person
That was banishing you
And start strangling you and
Keep strangling you

"They don't know what they fuckin' with
They don't know how you bussin' 'Bis
They don't know how you comin' man
They don't know how you done this shit
Yo, show them how a brotha spit

Yo they don't know how to double 'Bis
They already would've done this shit
Canibus the original thumbprint
Five emcees, pick one quick
He's usually on the thumb you lift

"Yo ya'll fuckin' with an awesome talent
I can't be silent, where's the balance?
I'm on some Kanye shit
Waiting for my spaceship
Exercisin' patience, grinding for this paper
The universal language is love, not hatred
Sex, money and drugs destroyed the foundation
That's what I would say if I
Had to make a statement when sex
Money and drugs built this proud nation
Salvation without authentication
False pagans bought lawmakers to orchestrate
How the law changes
We the new breed of fire-breathers
Inspired speeches got fans
Fighting in bleachers
They can't keep quiet neither
I want to team up with the best there is
Bless the mic and address what is
Impress the kids
The deep life I live is shallow to sheep
'Til I show a couple of scars
Let the experience speak

"They don't know what they fuckin' with
They don't know how you bussin' 'Bis
They don't know how you comin' man
They don't know how you done this shit
Yo, show them how a brotha spit

"They don't know what they fuckin' with
They don't know how you bussin' 'Bis
They don't know how you comin' man
They don't know how you done this shit
Yo, show them how a brotha spit

"Yo they don't know how to double 'Bis
They already would've done this shit
Canibus the original thumbprint
Five emcees, pick one quick
He's usually on the thumb you lift
