Layered Prayers
(专辑: For Whom The Beat Tolls - 2007)
[Canibus:] Yea, ayo Mother Earth absorbs the
blood I
bleed Hip-Hop is my blood I
believe That I
am not free, and neither are you The
only time I
feel free is when I'm rhyming in the
booth The
Lion on the
loose is not a
reckless recluse But really a
dictator with his neck in a
noose For war crimes; Hardcore rhymes from a
warped mind That enjoyed the
dark matter in the
void before time The
innocent murmured, murmured because they worshipped him They let the
serpent in but it never occurred to them They deity regards emcees like me Piously, check the
degree, see if it's me On planet Earth I
design mankind's rebirth A
marvel of water and rock salt from a
verse The
Moon, the
Sun and the
Stars I
am who you are, together, we all form God I
laugh at the
creation of it, the
explanation of it Not the
original but man's imitation of it They took Hip-Hop and changed the
subject Then I
brought Hip-Hop back and made you love it Through deterrence, detention and prevention Never write the
wrong sentence If I
ever said it I
meant it The
insatiable, inescapable regiment What's the
weight? Add four more plates, I
bench it Skinny-ass nigga, grab your neck with a
pen-grip Bend it through telepathic suggestion I
rap so serious, the
vocal myriad Occurred intermittently over protracted periods Rap 'til you get delirious, wack niggaz get furious Keep dissing me, your girl's getting curious Darth Vader on the
cross-fader releasing the
raw data This is called hard jaw-breaker labour When I
see you I'ma battle you, then tackle you Then grapple you, then probably snap you in two Yo, ain't that the
truth?, outside the
booth Air combat maneuvers without no computer Space wings that cause pings MOTHAFUCKA!!! We gon' dogfight above cloud cover High in the
friendly skies, where unfriendlies Where frendlies and unfrendlies die You and I
race to the
Sun, I
just got back The
race is done, ages have ended and ages have begun Cognisance saturation, I
am the
one Tell me where chain-gun Germaine came from? Dara-I-Suf, the
river of caves My ribcage look like miniature shim blades When I
bathe in the
waters below Still waters run deep, King Cthulhu told me so Magna-dome under Yellowstone inside the
bowels of the
Earth I'ma show you the
power of the
verse 'Cause man cannot establish dominance over man Indefinitely; man only respects God's energy Telluric energy, drawn from the
bowels of the
Earth I'ma show you the
power of the
verse Telluric energy, drawn from the
bowels of the
Earth I'ma show you the
power of the
verse
