Canibus, Common - Making a Name for Ourselves lyrics

Yeah, yeah, me and my man Com' Sense
Rallyin' troops like Joseph Stalin
Where you at, yo?

I'm 'bout to make the name Common
Sense a name you fear
Y'all niggas is scared
I'm your worst nightmare squared
And I'ma make the name Canibus
A name you fear y'all niggas is scared
I'm your worst nightmare squared
That's double for niggas who
Ain't mathematically aware
"Catch another sucker duck MC out there"

Yo, yo i can tell by how you write
You the type to run in a fight
I hold mics while you hold spite
Like a broken hearted bitch
Don't give no fuck who your team
Or who you started with


Cameoed or charted with
I house niggas like apartments with
Mic mechanisms, I dissect the rhythm
Move crowds with kinetic wisdom
It's like a Malcolm X-orcism
Fuck the rhythm, i hit him
I want him got and I get
Him, auction his wack ass off, then bid him

I'm creatin' the ultimate verses
With perfect lines
Puttin' together the web of my rhyme
One thread at a time
So you niggas need to stop testin' me
Because you know you can't "F" with me
Steppin' to me with insuperior weaponry
Exposin' yourself to the verbal radiations
Sayin' you can defeat me
Is nothin' but speculation lyrics unravel
Faster than bullets travel through barrels
Niggas be diggin' my styles
Like fossils of pterodactyls
Who wanna battle?! I'm bad to the bone marrow
The earth got one sun
But I walk with three shadows
With Allah, my supernatural bodyguard
Niggas couldn't touch me if they
Gave me a massage
MC's who compete with lyrics
And beats get crushed
I'll hit you in your chest so hard
Your shoulders will touch! What?!

"Steppin' to me is like goin' to
The county bein' a neutron"
"I ain't scared of no nigga"

I pursue sound fairs
Relaxed like Dru Down's hair
Other nigga's rhymes are like gang signs
I throw down theirs on knots I landed
Players get played like Hamlet
Supposedly nice, taken for granted like life
I write twice and drop
Singles in record pools
Niggas I'm dunkin' like when cops mingle
Fuck hip-hop jingles! Rhymin' big words
And not sayin' shit
The clique that you came in with
Accents you flavor with like moose
I go to the caves and
Get niggas off all fours
I'm the shit that's uncalled for
The shit that you fall for far more advanced
Than a rapper whose career you
Could only take a glance
Couldn't make the transition from B-boy
To C note stance
I stand in a circumference of humbleness
But in the Chi rumble
It's mistaken as a weakness
When poetry's in motion, like a picture
I'm the main feature
Amongst hard-workin' teachers and
Corrupt preachers
I make my livin' off of singles like Latifah
In between sheets like reefer
With blunted senses
You couldn't make a statement if
You was from a sentence
I'm cold with numb intentions

"Fuckin' with Canibus"
"Fuckin' with Canibus"
"Fuckin' with Canibus"
"Fuckin' with Canibus" "Yo, sick with it"

Yo, the Canibus is a animal
With a mechanical mandible
Comin' to damage you
Spittin' understandable slang at you
I be the all-seein' lyrical
Hammerhead shark peripheral
With three hundred-sixty degree visual
When the signal is given, MC's get bitten
With venom from a poisonous algorithm
Liable to kill 'em
My style will get in 'em, way up in 'em
My face don't belong in The Source
It belongs on the Shroud of Turin for certain
I grab mics and murder shit
It's wicked as Satan worshipers goin'
To Catholic church services
You heard of this new
Lyrical verbalist slash herbalist
The wrath of my cold-blooded
Verses is merciless rap snaps
Get your ass cracked like bear traps
Contaminate your air sacs like tear gas
And I swear, black, try to battle me
You won't last i'll turn your ass into 'The
Artist Formerly Known As' you gay-ass fag
I'll blow you to ashes with tactics
Strip you naked, then make you hug a cactus
You bastard so phat to be a rap star
Takin' pictures at music seminars
People know who you are
Now, I got mad shorties that wanna
Call me because they saw me
Up in The Source, chillin' on page forty
Put this in your CD-ROM:
Www dot-Canibus dot-com
You can find me on the
Internet talkin' to chicks
That was sweatin' me off the
Music Makes Me High remix
I be talkin' mad trash
Tryin' to get 'em to laugh
See, if I click and drag long enough
I'll get the ass bring it back to the lab
On Mount Prospect Ave
Let your chicken suck me off and
Send her home in a cab you know how we do
Liquid aluminum like the T2
A Beast from the East Pt i
I comin' to see you!

It's time I made the name Common
Sense a name y'all fear
Y'all niggas is scared
I'm your worst nightmare squared
Now, that I made the name
Canibus a name you fear you still scared
I'm your worst nightmare squared
That's double for niggas who
Ain't mathematically aware
"Catch another sucker duck MC out there"
Since I made the name Common
Sense a name y'all fear
Y'all niggas is scared
I'm your worst nightmare squared
And since I made the name
Canibus a name you fear stay scared
I'm still your worst nightmare squared
That's double for niggas who
Ain't mathematically aware
"Catch another sucker duck MC out there"
"Catch another sucker duck MC out there"
"Catch another sucker duck MC out there"
