Poet Laureate Lyrics & Chords By Canibus

(Canibus)

Yo, Houston to Earth, watch the Ripper crucify you with verse,
My urethra to your uvula quenches your thirst,
Put your flames out with dry desert dirt where leopards lurk,
Lock your soul down with an esoteric weapons search,
Strap a bomb to one of your label's 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 'til your head bursts,
Call the press first and ask them who has 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 'til your jaws and your neck hurt,
When you address me nigga, end your sentence with 'Sir',
Critics went berserk, they haven't even heard my best work,
See I broke into their mind by,
Quietly going by their eardrum walls and hot-wired their 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 were 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 them,
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 'til you're 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 the characters one by one like Arafat's tarot card suggests,
I make terrorist's threats through your stereo set,
Various anthrax carriers sending sarin to the press,
With an imaginary address, Cani's the best,
Untraceable, your picture's unpaintable canvas is wet,
Let me dry you off with some of this fire I spit,
Twenty six years old, nigga look how I spit,
Microphone fiend, since I was like fourteen,
My Cuban uncle used to sell cocaine, Okay?
I'm reloaded, you're fucking with 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 want to battle? Or do you want to fucking wrestle with me,
You ain't better than me, you just have an obsession with me,
Canibus hybrid, the cake icing of rhyming,
As I grow old I get colder like the declining climate,
On Earth's environment, entirely tireless,
Rhymes come from a 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 fits,
They're like immature Earth cadets looking like Captain Kirk in a dress,
Lyrically I'll step on you, Rip on you,
Then I'll 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 checkered 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,
Detectives check your mail and your Messenger 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,
Misconstrued fame but I spit butane,
Blue flames out of giant CO2 tanks,
Demagnetized memory banks, enhanced, advanced,
One of a kind, like modern man's retina scans,
Quick as a glance and flickers from kerosene lamps,
What do you want me to break first? Your jaw or your grill,
What type of spit do you want from me? Sparkling or still,
Studied law at Yale, draw up my own deals,
So the longer they resist me the stronger I feel,
Spread your ganglia from Tanzania to 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,
It takes a really nice nigga to excite these nerds,
Niggas want to 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 mom getting DP'd,
I'm one size away from thirteen, believe it she peed,
I'm the illest and it's going to be that way forever,
Word of mouth is good, but a mouth with words is better,
Nigga, nobody gets sicker than the Ripper!
