| [00:08.38] | Yo, why is the Ripper so ill? |
| [00:11.43] | That would be an unpardonable breech of confidence for me to reveal |
| [00:14.70] | He said, One of these days all eyes will be on me |
| [00:17.26] | When they look up in the sky and see the neon C |
| [00:19.46] | Rhymes inscribed on a nickel disk encased in a glass with an ion beam for longevity |
| [00:24.48] | For more than ten centuries, impressions and memories |
| [00:27.25] | The first time-machine inventor will mention me |
| [00:30.12] | Canibus was a visionary indeed |
| [00:32.32] | He believed light could travel in multiples of c |
| [00:35.03] | The organic supercomputer that solved the mysteries of Klein-Kaluza with two blue metric rulers |
| [00:40.60] | Liked Cool J but thought Steven Jay Gould was cooler |
| [00:43.06] | And he never liked to propagate rumors |
| [00:45.31] | Smoked Canary Island cigars |
| [00:47.93] | Liked American luxury cars and beautiful Asian broads |
| [00:50.13] | He had a strong mind |
| [00:51.64] | He used to philosophize about rhymes while he was pruning his bonsais |
| [00:55.11] | He claimed that he had written the greatest rhyme of all time |
| [00:58.11] | But he would never take it out of his archives |
| [01:00.52] | He wrote two songs per day |
| [01:02.28] | And was constantly experimenting with his wordplay |
| [01:04.78] | In his youth he did a report on the Sloan Digital Sky Survey |
| [01:08.16] | He got a F but he deserved an A |
| [01:10.37] | I followed his career from the first day |
| [01:12.57] | It seemed the lack of support contributed to his inert ways |
| [01:15.42] | Ive seen him put in twenty-four hour workdays |
| [01:18.34] | With deferred pay, undeterred by the worst shame |
| [01:20.45] | Public humiliation was the worst pain |
| [01:22.76] | He was spinning out of control like a class five hurricane |
| [01:25.47] | He said he wouldnt want another emcee to suffer the same |
| [01:28.18] | Especially when theres nothing to gain |
| [01:30.43] | He was the illest alive but nobody would face it |
| [01:33.09] | He spit til his tongue was too torched to taste it |
| [01:35.75] | Properly funded corporations Carbon-dated his latest creations |
| [01:39.07] | To extract the information, they found it utterly amazing |
| [01:42.44] | They claimed the body of his work was the same thing as a priceless painting |
| [01:46.14] | Never mattered to him the art galleries hated him |
| [01:48.50] | Cause Thomas Kinkade called and said he would take ten |
| [01:51.05] | Complete enigmas wrapped in puzzles encrypted in language |
| [01:53.86] | With sound but without shape or signature |
| [01:55.97] | Kept files in his garage on MS-DOS in a fireproof pod, we thought it was odd |
| [02:00.89] | Outside there was a shed with an Oppenheimer lock |
| [02:03.60] | He apparently kept more wax than Madame Tussaud |
| [02:06.20] | We were in total awe cause it blew our minds |
| [02:08.51] | So many rhymes that were intricately designed |
| [02:11.03] | He WAS poet laureate of his time |
| [02:13.54] | And if you dont mind Id like to share some of his rhymes |
| [02:16.30] | Alone in my room looking through the thirty-two X telescope zoom |
| [02:19.90] | Adjusting the focus of the moon |
| [02:21.30] | One should not assume the philosophy of David Hume is nothing more than a subjective conclusion |
| [02:26.53] | What is the maximum field rate application? |
| [02:28.78] | The runaway glaciation surrounding the ocean basin |
| [02:31.55] | Affects the population fluctuation on a continuous basis but thats just the basics |
| [02:37.04] | The juxtaposition of Can-I-Buss position |
| [02:39.59] | The precision of something no other has written |
| [02:42.14] | Way above and beyond what was intended |
| [02:43.65] | The unparalleled malleable enunciation of a sentence |
| [02:47.51] | You didnt go to college, obviously |
| [02:49.42] | I can tell by your ungodly unintelligible terminology |
| [02:52.03] | Your remarkable odyssey |
| [02:53.99] | The rhymes at modest speeds when the brain orders the body not to breathe |
| [02:57.56] | Your competency is not up to speed, youre not in my league |
| [03:00.21] | You couldnt possibly be hotter than me |
| [03:02.31] | Or oppositely at minus twenty-five degrees |
| [03:04.78] | Youll squeeze but the condensation makes rifle barrels freeze |
| [03:07.59] | Allow me to speak figuratively, nigga please |
| [03:10.01] | My intellectual propertys about the size of Greece |
| [03:12.61] | Your counselor advised you not to speak |
| [03:14.47] | My counselor advised me to keep rhyming until they stopped the beat |
| [03:17.42] | In the words of Joseph Heller, I learned how to write better, even though it sort of irked me |
| [03:22.62] | He said he didnt understand the process of the imagination but he felt he was at its mercy |
| [03:27.59] | Which exploits my point perfectly |
| [03:29.04] | And certainly reinforces the reason why nobodys probably ever heard of me |
| [03:33.22] | Couldnt understand what I mean by ill |
| [03:35.82] | Lest you try to translate what I print to film |
| [03:37.83] | This is the line of will, the circle of time, the cycle of eternity, the emergence of one line |
| [03:43.31] | Academic phonetics render critics tongue-tied |
| [03:45.47] | The personified dry humor of cum laude alumni |
| [03:48.18] | A wise man sees failure as progress |
| [03:50.64] | A fool divorces his knowledge and misses the logic |
| [03:53.25] | And loses his soul in the process obsessed with nonsense with a caricature that has no content |
| [03:58.37] | My style is masterful, multilateral, I could battle a fool and be naturally cruel |
| [04:03.18] | Words of scorn are a disastrous tool, from an existentialists view Im a better rapper than you |
| [04:08.05] | Grab the mic and rip your physical fabric in two, my attitude is fucked up but admirable |
| [04:13.16] | Different methods interpreted into different forms |
| [04:15.87] | From entirely different perceptions and seen from different norms |
| [04:18.72] | Not just spitting a poem, theres much more involved |
| [04:21.28] | Theres much more pieces of the puzzle for you to solve |
| [04:23.59] | Forty-eight orders of mechanical laws |
| [04:25.89] | And rays of creational cause enhance the cadence of my bars |
| [04:28.80] | Maybe I am self-absorbed |
| [04:30.41] | But thats the effect, to find the cause you should ask my A&R |
| [04:33.68] | Today is what it is but only because yesterday was what it was |
| [04:37.64] | Permitting youve heard of Beelzebub |
| [04:38.89] | A tale of demons and drugs, pissy drunk in the club |
| [04:41.54] | With the DJ doing the needle rub, chances are youd never see me, son |
| [04:45.66] | Yeah, I know my names Canibus but I cant help you if you need a dub |
| [04:49.31] | I came to holler at some big booty bitches and listen to the speakers thump |
| [04:53.33] | Whered you get conceited from? Im so nice on the mic they want to beat me up |
| [04:57.04] | Its deep as fuck, I aint seen it all but Ive seen enough, really unbelievable stuff |
| [05:01.45] | Theres a lot of times when I want to speak but Im stuck |
| [05:03.95] | I should leave this rap shit alone and kick my incredible rhymes in the privacy of my own home |
| [05:09.32] | My imagination is my own, the liberty to speak freely lyrically on the microphone |
| [05:14.03] | With a pen in my hand I bring motion to the Enneagram and become Can-I-Millennium Man |
| [05:19.24] | Engrave my back with the Emperors Stamp |
| [05:23.10] | Been spitting scientific rap since the seventeenth century began |
| [05:24.67] | Trying to escape the wicked empire of Def Jam in the land where lyrics are bland and heretics hang |
| [05:29.47] | Every warrior has an ax to bury, but he has to learn to discern between enemy and adversary |
| [05:35.56] | I said to myself, Germaine, this is insane, its suicide, its controlled flight into terrain |
| [05:39.27] | I fought to regain control the plane but went up in a ball of flames |
| [05:43.63] | And got banned from the Hip-Hop Hall of Fame |
| [05:46.17] | For two bars I kept hearing in my head over and over again |
| [05:49.18] | It cost me everything |
| [05:50.33] | Im convinced now that more than the truth is at stake |
| [05:52.53] | Where people create language that pretends to communicate |
| [05:55.24] | Euphemisms are misunderstood as mistakes |
| [05:58.05] | But its a byproduct of the ghetto music we make |
| [06:00.26] | From an extroverted point of view, I think its too late |
| [06:02.90] | Hip-Hop has never been the same since eighty-eight |
| [06:05.61] | Since it became a lucrative profession theres a misconception |
| [06:08.12] | That a movement in any direction is progression |
| [06:10.58] | Even though the potency of it lessens |
| [06:12.84] | Big money industries writing checks to suppress the question |
| [06:15.59] | And nobody gives a fuck no more |
| [06:16.89] | No one goes to the bookstore ever since the confluence of Moores Law |
| [06:20.91] | But I stay in the lab like Niels Bohr, his son Aage, Edward Lorenz and Leo Szilard |
| [06:25.72] | Lyrically I took rap music and turned the knob |
| [06:28.27] | To the right full-throttle and added panache |
| [06:30.78] | Why would I argue with my own conscience over the truth |
| [06:33.18] | Thats like me telling myself, Dont tell me what to do |
| [06:35.84] | Dialyses and analyses of battle emcees, sometimes I say things I myself cant believe |
| [06:38.75] | My lyrical is so skillfully elliptical, I can understand how it makes you miserable |
| [06:46.46] | You wonder why I never let you play your beats for me? |
| [06:48.96] | And why I keep my studio enshrouded in secrecy? |
| [06:51.53] | You wonder whats my infatuation with Alicia Keys? |
| [06:54.27] | Canibus, why dont you speak to me? |
| [06:55.97] | Yo, I meant it when I said no one can shine on a song that features me |
| [06:58.64] | Thats why I said it so vehemently |
| [07:01.64] | You need to replace the hate with respect, Im probably the best yet |

| [01:25.47] | He said he wouldnt want another emcee to suffer the same |
| [01:28.18] | Especially when theres nothing to gain |
| [01:30.43] | He was the illest alive but nobody would face it |
| [01:33.09] | He spit til his tongue was too torched to taste it |
| [01:35.75] | Properly funded corporations Carbondated his latest creations |
| [01:39.07] | To extract the information, they found it utterly amazing |
| [01:42.44] | They claimed the body of his work was the same thing as a priceless painting |
| [01:46.14] | Never mattered to him the art galleries hated him |
| [01:48.50] | Cause Thomas Kinkade called and said he would take ten |
| [01:51.05] | Complete enigmas wrapped in puzzles encrypted in language |
| [01:53.86] | With sound but without shape or signature |
| [01:55.97] | Kept files in his garage on MSDOS in a fireproof pod, we thought it was odd |
| [02:00.89] | Outside there was a shed with an Oppenheimer lock |
| [02:03.60] | He apparently kept more wax than Madame Tussaud |
| [02:06.20] | We were in total awe cause it blew our minds |
| [02:08.51] | So many rhymes that were intricately designed |
| [02:11.03] | He WAS poet laureate of his time |
| [02:13.54] | And if you dont mind Id like to share some of his rhymes |
| [02:16.30] | Alone in my room looking through the thirtytwo X telescope zoom |
| [02:19.90] | Adjusting the focus of the moon |
| [02:21.30] | One should not assume the philosophy of David Hume is nothing more than a subjective conclusion |
| [02:26.53] | What is the maximum field rate application? |
| [02:28.78] | The runaway glaciation surrounding the ocean basin |
| [02:31.55] | Affects the population fluctuation on a continuous basis but thats just the basics |
| [02:37.04] | The juxtaposition of CanIBuss position |
| [02:39.59] | The precision of something no other has written |
| [02:42.14] | Way above and beyond what was intended |
| [02:43.65] | The unparalleled malleable enunciation of a sentence |
| [02:47.51] | You didnt go to college, obviously |
| [02:49.42] | I can tell by your ungodly unintelligible terminology |
| [02:52.03] | Your remarkable odyssey |
| [02:53.99] | The rhymes at modest speeds when the brain orders the body not to breathe |
| [02:57.56] | Your competency is not up to speed, youre not in my league |
| [03:00.21] | You couldnt possibly be hotter than me |
| [03:02.31] | Or oppositely at minus twentyfive degrees |
| [03:04.78] | Youll squeeze but the condensation makes rifle barrels freeze |
| [03:07.59] | Allow me to speak figuratively, nigga please |
| [03:10.01] | My intellectual propertys about the size of Greece |
| [03:12.61] | Your counselor advised you not to speak |
| [03:14.47] | My counselor advised me to keep rhyming until they stopped the beat |
| [03:17.42] | In the words of Joseph Heller, I learned how to write better, even though it sort of irked me |
| [03:22.62] | He said he didnt understand the process of the imagination but he felt he was at its mercy |
| [03:27.59] | Which exploits my point perfectly |
| [03:29.04] | And certainly reinforces the reason why nobodys probably ever heard of me |
| [03:33.22] | Couldnt understand what I mean by ill |
| [03:35.82] | Lest you try to translate what I print to film |
| [03:37.83] | This is the line of will, the circle of time, the cycle of eternity, the emergence of one line |
| [03:43.31] | Academic phonetics render critics tonguetied |
| [03:45.47] | The personified dry humor of cum laude alumni |
| [03:48.18] | A wise man sees failure as progress |
| [03:50.64] | A fool divorces his knowledge and misses the logic |
| [03:53.25] | And loses his soul in the process obsessed with nonsense with a caricature that has no content |
| [03:58.37] | My style is masterful, multilateral, I could battle a fool and be naturally cruel |
| [04:03.18] | Words of scorn are a disastrous tool, from an existentialists view Im a better rapper than you |
| [04:08.05] | Grab the mic and rip your physical fabric in two, my attitude is fucked up but admirable |
| [04:13.16] | Different methods interpreted into different forms |
| [04:15.87] | From entirely different perceptions and seen from different norms |
| [04:18.72] | Not just spitting a poem, theres much more involved |
| [04:21.28] | Theres much more pieces of the puzzle for you to solve |
| [04:23.59] | Fortyeight orders of mechanical laws |
| [04:25.89] | And rays of creational cause enhance the cadence of my bars |
| [04:28.80] | Maybe I am selfabsorbed |
| [04:30.41] | But thats the effect, to find the cause you should ask my A R |
| [04:33.68] | Today is what it is but only because yesterday was what it was |
| [04:37.64] | Permitting youve heard of Beelzebub |
| [04:38.89] | A tale of demons and drugs, pissy drunk in the club |
| [04:41.54] | With the DJ doing the needle rub, chances are youd never see me, son |
| [04:45.66] | Yeah, I know my names Canibus but I cant help you if you need a dub |
| [04:49.31] | I came to holler at some big booty bitches and listen to the speakers thump |
| [04:53.33] | Whered you get conceited from? Im so nice on the mic they want to beat me up |
| [04:57.04] | Its deep as fuck, I aint seen it all but Ive seen enough, really unbelievable stuff |
| [05:01.45] | Theres a lot of times when I want to speak but Im stuck |
| [05:03.95] | I should leave this rap shit alone and kick my incredible rhymes in the privacy of my own home |
| [05:09.32] | My imagination is my own, the liberty to speak freely lyrically on the microphone |
| [05:14.03] | With a pen in my hand I bring motion to the Enneagram and become CanIMillennium Man |
| [05:19.24] | Engrave my back with the Emperors Stamp |
| [05:23.10] | Been spitting scientific rap since the seventeenth century began |
| [05:24.67] | Trying to escape the wicked empire of Def Jam in the land where lyrics are bland and heretics hang |
| [05:29.47] | Every warrior has an ax to bury, but he has to learn to discern between enemy and adversary |
| [05:35.56] | I said to myself, Germaine, this is insane, its suicide, its controlled flight into terrain |
| [05:39.27] | I fought to regain control the plane but went up in a ball of flames |
| [05:43.63] | And got banned from the HipHop Hall of Fame |
| [05:46.17] | For two bars I kept hearing in my head over and over again |
| [05:49.18] | It cost me everything |
| [05:50.33] | Im convinced now that more than the truth is at stake |
| [05:52.53] | Where people create language that pretends to communicate |
| [05:55.24] | Euphemisms are misunderstood as mistakes |
| [05:58.05] | But its a byproduct of the ghetto music we make |
| [06:00.26] | From an extroverted point of view, I think its too late |
| [06:02.90] | HipHop has never been the same since eightyeight |
| [06:05.61] | Since it became a lucrative profession theres a misconception |
| [06:08.12] | That a movement in any direction is progression |
| [06:10.58] | Even though the potency of it lessens |
| [06:12.84] | Big money industries writing checks to suppress the question |
| [06:15.59] | And nobody gives a fuck no more |
| [06:16.89] | No one goes to the bookstore ever since the confluence of Moores Law |
| [06:20.91] | But I stay in the lab like Niels Bohr, his son Aage, Edward Lorenz and Leo Szilard |
| [06:25.72] | Lyrically I took rap music and turned the knob |
| [06:28.27] | To the right fullthrottle and added panache |
| [06:30.78] | Why would I argue with my own conscience over the truth |
| [06:33.18] | Thats like me telling myself, Dont tell me what to do |
| [06:35.84] | Dialyses and analyses of battle emcees, sometimes I say things I myself cant believe |
| [06:38.75] | My lyrical is so skillfully elliptical, I can understand how it makes you miserable |
| [06:46.46] | You wonder why I never let you play your beats for me? |
| [06:48.96] | And why I keep my studio enshrouded in secrecy? |
| [06:51.53] | You wonder whats my infatuation with Alicia Keys? |
| [06:54.27] | Canibus, why dont you speak to me? |
| [06:55.97] | Yo, I meant it when I said no one can shine on a song that features me |
| [06:58.64] | Thats why I said it so vehemently |
| [07:01.64] | You need to replace the hate with respect, Im probably the best yet |
| [07:04.84] | Poet Laureate! |
