[Intro]

This is a street corner, you know what I mean?

This is not the Hot 97 studio, this is a street corner right now

This is three MCs, know what I'm sayin'?

Standing on the side

Standing on the sidewalk, you know what I mean?

Timberland boots, saying? Finessing

Concrete slab under the feet, yeah

Blacking out with Funk Flex

Canibus and DMX with my man Noreaga


[Verse 1: Canibus]

Blacking out with Funk Flex

DMX holds the 12 gauge pump, Canibus holds the TEC

Whenever the head is separated from the human body with a sharp enough weapon

The brain remains conscious for ten seconds

Long enough for me to give you one last message

And when you get to Hell, you can tell Lucifer I said it

Don't ever get it confused

Messing with Canibus, the human Rubik's Cube like you got something to prove

I'm Above the Law, making cops shit in their drawers

They won't even dispatch the call if my name is involved

While you pray to Allah, reading your Qur'an and your teachings of Muhammad

I'm in my crib studying thuganomics

Niggas wanna murder me, that's why my burgundy Suburban be

Full of Secret Service security

Transporting me back and forth from the Affirmative Action University

In aircrafts that takeoff and land vertically

The fact that I ain't treated like a king is absurd to me

From the streets of Dirty Jersey to Germany, niggas heard of me

Verbally murdering you thoroughly without effort

I get drug tested before I can rhyme on the record

A remarkable specimen with an audible weapon

Processing lyrics in less than one-onehundredth of a second

Beef? Bring it! Bullets or barrels, spin it

Fingers squeeze trigger leave you physically disfigured


[Break: Canibus]

Uh, like that, y'all

DMX where you at it's like that, y'all


[Verse 2: DMX]

One, two, one, two, come through, run through

Gun who? Oh, you don't know what the gun do?

Some do! Those that know, are real quiet

Let me think you gon' try it, fuck around and start a riot

Niggas gon' buy it regardless

Because I'm the hardest rap artist and I'm a start this

Shit up for real, get up and feel

My words, I make herbs spit up and squeal

Ill, it's all I've been hearing lately, niggas hate me

Wanna duck tape me and make me

Put their brains on the wall when I brawl

Too late for that 911 call

Niggas stay beefin' but a lot of them bluff

But not me 'cause I'm a nigga that can get out of them cuffs

You think a lot of them's tough, that's just a front

'Cause when I hit them niggas like what you want, the battle turns into a hunt

With the dog right behind niggas chasing 'em down

We all knew that you was pussy but I'm tasting it now

And never give a dog blood 'cause raw blow

I have a dog like what? Biting whatever all up in your gut

Give it to 'em raw like that and ain't no love

I do 'em all like that, fall right up in their back, clack! clack!

Close your eyes, baby, it's over, forget it

Happened in front of your building but nobody knows who did it

(BARK! BARK! BARK!)

Noreaga, hold me down, baby


[Verse 3: N.O.R.E.]

Yo, my name N.O.R.E., but only fam call me P.A.P.I

Y'all people homos like the cat who killed Versace

Homo thug, yo, I shoulda known sooner

My clique stay in jail like Robert Downey Jr

Like outlaw in the beacon, I'm Nigga Rican!

Most y'all people think you live and y'all weakling

I'm from Iraq, play the cut, smoke mad trees

Mind my own business, concentrate on my cheese

Yo, the door locked, four knocks and one sibble

I'm like '98 live, you're like double dribble

Yo, Thugged Out, no rules, I'm playing the game

Every man for himself, just receiving the pain

It's like Utah 21, no outs, just go hard

Rest in peace I got to say to Yami and Todd

It's like my people never learn, money to burn

Yo, I'm leaving like me and Nate-ness, let me say this

I used to rock the G-U-E with the Double S

Now I'm in the '98 Black GS

Golden wood kid and my shhh on some full grip

Headlights shine from Def Jam to Crown Heights

Now my clique keep guns, no time for fights

Open the flip on star tech, check the message

Cop ten Sprint phones and caught a deal

What? One in the same like Thugged Out and Ill Will

It's all real, what the deal?


[Verse 4: Canibus]

Yo, yo, yo, yo, to, yo, eff the nonsense, I got the reinforcements

To crush any enemy's offense with a hundred thousand horsemen

The hardest motherfucker on the market, right here

I complete in a minute what will take you a light year

Extraterrestrial biological entities with infinite energy

Battling for world supremacy

Who wanna get touched? The Can-I-Bus'll crush you

With hard jigsaw puzzles and strong jaw muscles

Ambushing MCs, jumping out the trees like Vietnamese

In fatigues covered with leaves

Interrogating you wack MCs like MIB's in dark glasses

Asking you to tell me exactly where that alien craft landed

By flashing bright lights in your eyes with them silver cameras

So when you revive, you can't recall or understand it

That's how the Canibus keeps tabs on the planet

I use amnesia to neutralize public panic

And take advantage of opportunities to do damage

I pierce your heart with evil thoughts

The only thing faster than the speed of light is the speed of dark

With the jaws of a great white shark, I rip you apart

My state of the art lyrical lasers is razor sharp

Splatter the brain matter of my enemies

With the same bullet trajectory that murdered John Kennedy

In the back of his cranial cavity

Which is actually what happens to any MC for tryna battle me

Right there, uh


[Verse 5: DMX]

Uh, uh,.uh, uh, check it out, y'all

Check it out, check it out, check it out, y'all

When I creep through niggas just see through just like a négligé

And ain't no talking 'cause ain't much that the dead can say

Long as I'm walking I'll be strapping my dog

Whacking the hogs, Desert Eagle packing the mugs

Metal slabs with yellow tags or [?]

What happens to those that chose to be foes

I bet his man knows but, yo, we only getting stronger

And the amount of time we're facing is only getting longer

Get the Mayor on the horn, top the shit to go down

Strap for the showdown, wet up your crib, kick your down

Know you scheming so I got to get you first

Put you right up in the brand new hearse, could be worse

You should have seen what I gave this nigga

Two vests couldn't save this nigga, the way I laid this nigga

Played this nigga but that's what I'm good at

Lay your niggas out fighting pits and busting hood rats

Where's my fucking hood at, I’ma flip on niggas like switches

Rib all niggas like bitches, slip all in niggas in ditches

They ain't found half the bodies that a nigga caught or should I say a nigga bought

'Cause there's nothing like getting paid for a nigga sport

Kill for what a nigga thought but that's just how it be

And I know that one day they gon' try that with me

But just as long as I'm on top, you ain't stopping

And ain't the motherfuh dropping

Sat shorty down told him how much his peeps missed him

Boom! One shot blew his respiratory system

Kissed him goodnight, put him to bed

With four mo' to the head so I know he understood what I said

Red was all over the place, it didn't look good

But I did what a crook would, searched the crib and took goods

And every night, it's the stress

That makes me put another cat to rest, make another cat a mess


[Verse 6: Noreaga]

Ayo, they scared to death, misery need company

These crab slackers, people actin' like they're Mad Rappers

Even with a record deal our guns still peal

Break a piece of your brain off, wipe the stain off

Throw the Range off, policiano watch for Hondo

They lookin' at our poster now, playing us closer now

The funds follow us, what, these chickens swallow us

And you wonder why they can't find us

Yo, Jose Luis smoke lah like the Reverend

Look in the crowds, cloud look like coke and Heaven

Like whoever sittin' on pies too, he gettin' high too

Mad fly too, a thug too

Yo, we praise those, however you make your pesos

Keep your sh' tight just like Jose Canseco's

Batting stance, a majorly we glance

And gotta yell, "What, What!" 'cause thug people don't dance, yo

I told people, that you did it for show

But niggas thought you was ill, yo, even your ho

Yo, for real young blood, I'm really afraid so

Your color's got revealed and now you buy dough

I'm vastos, locos, morenos, go-golos, boriquas, platinos

My people rollin' those, fontos and hydros

We stay smokin' it, these light it up though, we stay smokin it Tone Loc'in it, me and Fat Joe still provoking it


[Verse 7: Canibus]

For hip-hop heads, I provide the ultimate high

Canibus is the difference between Harvard and DeVry

See, I deliver lyrical blows to pose a potential threat

To any MCs I've ever met

Or will meet, I can't be defeated or beat

Lyrically, I got more lines than streets

So if you got beef, you better speak now or forever hold your peace

'Cause I'm coming from the stomach of the beast

Representing the East Coast from border to border

I'll battle this whole planet in alphabetical order

From A to Z or whatever the case be

My brainwaves beat against the rocks like the sea

See, my style is every color in the spectrum

Your style is plain like trains without vandalism

Steady blinding niggas when I be shining

Holding the Sun in my hand, I walk across the horizon

My IQ number has six zeros behind it

I possess the power to sleep with open eyelids

On a metaphysical level

I'll make you burst into flames just by looking at a picture of you

In fact, whenever I put the match to the buddha

My brain cells become parallel to a computer

Gathering thoughts at speeds that light couldn't exceed

Test scores the Japanese overseas can't believe

When I'm around other MCs I don't know how to behave

I feel like a metal plate in a microwave

Taking niggas beyond the lyrical speed limit

Digging graves and dumping bodies in it when I'm finished

Attracting shit like a musical magnet

I'll freak flows in binary codes and talk to faxes

Lifting weights and taking amino acids

Sprinting through marathons like they was sixty yard dashes

My reactions’ll hit you, before your proactions hit me

Think about it, it’s deep

My fan club got more followers than the Grateful Dead groupies

And my SAT scores got aliens trying to recruit me

’Cause, lyrically, I got superhuman abilities

And I’ll make a mockery of anybody for drilling me

I get mad respect in this rap game

MCs like you can only call me by my last name

You came out of a woman’s womb

I came out of a space pod, I’m a alien, a lyrical god

You gotta find twenty niggas like God just to even the odds with me

My philosophies are iller than Socrates

I’ll damage your physical with my verbal

My balance enables me to square dance in a circle

To me, you’re like a nigga tryna jump a normal nigga's hurdle

And word to my unborn child, I’ll hurt you

Experiment on you like a mad scientist

And if my lyrics drive you crazy my fist'll be your psychiatrist

Like that y'all, DMX, where you at, yo?


[Break: DMX]

Where you at, yo, where my dog, got it, I'm right here, dog

I'm right here, all right, my [ __ ] Can I Bus, right, right, right, holding you down

All right, check it out, yo, check it, check it, check it out, y'all, know get

Back out, check it, check it ,check it out, y'all


[Verse 8: DMX]

Look in the mirror, say my name five times

Turn out the lights and nano took nine lives

Don't get scared now, [ __ ], finish it 'cause you started it

Watch they grow out of control now you want no part of it

[ __ ] when you're harder tell me what you made of

Already lost the stripe 'cause I know what you're afraid of

We both know you puss but ain't gonna say nothing

Just hit a [ __ ] off and you can stay frontin'

I got your back for now till I case the joint

Plus, give the feds a real good place to point you lace the joint

I ain't gonna front, I had my hands full

Glad to be alive but you like that's that bull

But now you know what you get when you fucking with

Something you should've left alone that you stuck in

Ducking till that headpiece gets blazed

Screaming this ah cease to the grave

It's over at least for you it is

It'll take a coronor to see how true it

Is I knew these kids but that didn't stop me from getting screaming

It was all for the money while I'm hitting him

Splitting him down from his nose to his nuts

Fire department come and put the hose to his guts

Washed away just like dirt when it rains

And now because of you I hurt when it rains


[Verse 9: N.O.R.E.]

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yo if you live you remember ain't '85 when it was just bats

And knives made men were made wise dang stains seller

Jetta caught the reigns sending slugs that a leader that ass

Crippled as the child had anemia without sickle

N.O.R.E. Nore grand marquis always

Wanted to be in this game since Biz Markie we light it up

What it's like, Joe, throw this talk up ever since crack came in

Little capsules, we controlled blocks, rock flat tops

Had two splats selling blue ties, seeing Benny cock new rocks

What, yo, yo, ayo, I cock the cannon, me and flirt canannon

Traveling to the top of the Grand Canyon, we don't bone

Still, instead, yo, our click get head then we hit the next state

And the next chick bed, it's all fun to us

When we in the tour bus, politicking about which chickens we touched

Same routine, same things happen in Queens

Seeing little chickens from the hood stripping in dreams was

Innocent once turned out to smoke blunts and...

And still rock old fronts, turned out, no doubt, older stunts

Showed her the route, yo, we did it all while I was... with the thugs

Traditional 'cause, yo, my pops sell drugs, you're impeccable like

Them yucking Chinese rugs, still sexual, bony bitches right in the club

Yo, inadequate deep just like Devil's advocate I bless

That C-N-N shirt plus a Guess hat, what Funk Flex the franchise, baby, get wise

'98, take it over


[Verse 10: Canibus]

RIght, right, right, yo, yo, check it out like this, yo

You think that you a tough guy, I’ma show you I'm tougher (You got it)

Yeah, like that, y'all, yeah

Right, Canibus the lyrical analyst

Get on the phone, dial 911 and call an ambulance like this, y'all

Like this, y'all, I'm 'bout to rip, y'all

Yo, yo, you think that you a tough guy?

I'ma show you I’m tough, I crushed her back

This mother up, molecular structure select the conductor make disaster

Strike like buster, yo, you might say why I’m a gun

But, yeah, that's Jamaica for making the gun touch you

Triggers get pulled, bullets to make your body parts rupture

While you sit and wonder how I just took the life of another, me or my brother

Jump in the jeep and burn rubber go to my mother's switch cars that was clever she said son i love you but they

Gonna handcuff you a cold war veteran they used to assemble weapons for the Kremlin discipline like Olympic gold medallist

Remember this, never ever check protection list 'cause nowadays what you can catch is very infectious unless you

Got a death wish and you wanna mess with women who poison the walls and they wounds and asbestos these tricks is treacherous listen to me when I tell you

This whatever you trying to buy somebody is selling it somewhere somehow you get gunned down when the guns go blab just cause you was

Running your mouth

All my niggas in the background saying no doubt

You a faggot nigga stop fronting to put the gap down kick a rap

Now let me see if you can freestyle throw in the dat now let me show you how to black out

Next year you'll be walking around

The hockey and I'll be down confidence with a laminate that says I got shitted on by Canibus

Like that y'all like that

Where you at man my

Keep that beat on dog don't switch that up on me dog check it out y'all check it out check it

Out check it out y'all check it out y'all check it out y'all trick check it check it check it i don't walk


[Verse 11: DMX]

I start living foul like pork

Shutting down underground streets of New York Hawk is what the niggas call me cause they all

Be sucking my and on my [ __ ] uh puss keep it running from the werewolf (Howl!) howling at the moon on the roof

No get them ten niggas on them hope god's with them give me the back let me split them I

Have them where the pillow and the casket won't fit him only reason I did him he wouldn't fight back trying to strike back left him

Like that laying up with the white hat getting right back gotcha when I snatch her up off the grave nothing but bones and

Ashes hitting niggas with gashes to the head straight to the white meat but the streets stay red bitches don't

Get me head for free cause they see who I'mma be by like 2003 that nigga D took it there oh you thought it was a

Joke he ran through like twenty G's you thought that I was broke stupid that's what you get for thinking and

Eventually found that's what you get for stinking blowing up the spot when you rot plus if it gets hot they'll know you dead for

Four square blocks hit them with the ice to the grill kill nigga kill yet and still they don't

Know I'm a robber that dog DMX is a muhfuckin problem


[Verse 12: N.O.R.E.]

Yeah yeah yeah hey

Yo, I grew up like the regular thug, sold drugs

Wasn't proud about it, but that's just what I gotta do

I copped the Jordans and the Filas too

Yo, I loved the Bo Jacksons, the orange and blue

Used to snatch Lee patches, now I wear Cartier glasses

Thinking that the earth axis

Revolves around my will and how the fuck I feel

Yo, I played ball for Vince, yo, I handled the pill

Then it dawned on me, came strong on me

I belonged with these niggas thuggin' with me

So I switched crews, started rolling with the older dudes

Drinking brews, did what they say, then paid dues

My hands dirty, tryna keep little Leah

And got jerked the first time I tried to re-up

People my age tried to say slow my speed up

'Cause I smoke bogies, stay throwing weed up

Since the days of Spofford, I used to run with rob Crawford

Troy Outlaw, Freddie Bedrock, and Joe Wu

Vernon and Timbuk, Chan Dooner, and Sha Shoes

Section two part of Iraq I grew up at had to learn how to slap box instead of begat I never knew rap

All i knew was crack yo was rules to this game and people to blame when you see another little brother

Doing the same yo flex what you doing over there baby all right I'm past that pass that calm

Down


[Verse 13: Canibus]

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yo yeah

Yo like this y'all on some real mc ish yo yo yo

Yo I'm a nuclear warhead right now you're provoking my detonation never test me without proper

Authorization my lack of patience caused me to get mad and explode it for your mother[?] like an airbag your shit is

Fake your brain is child's play to manipulate I create lyrics too intricate to imitate moving at the velocity let it break your

Stopwatch if you clock at me my concrete jungle is like jumanji but iller than the [?] you seen in a cinema

A five foot eight nigga with more horsepower than twelve cylinders my brain consists of twin Pentium chips double

The clock speeds of a 586 nothing about my physical matrix is basic I kick flavor beyond what your

Tongue is capable of tasting you'll be so surprised you won't believe your own eyes it's like a Jamaican seeing it snow for the first time rhymes of

A sort that distorts space and time it's like explaining color to a man that was born blind one of a kind I got divine c,hromosomes in me

My sperm'll scramble the eggs in a woman's ovaries cause I'm as original as it gets and I

Can't respect niggas that copy like double decks I get vexed when crab nigga bite my style cause I'm selling a thousand

Records per day per square mile breaking the laws of physics with metaphors and lyrics talking to dead poets by conjuring up

Their spirits from Shakespeare to Edgar Allen yo the whole Deadpool society couldn't mess around with the

Talent much less understand it I make typo walkers that the circus lose they balance when I kick the planet

Right across it on the woolly mammoth DMX in the background with the hardcore sound from the

Underground with funk flex he got the shotgun pump I got the tech blow 'em out DMX blow 'em out yo, uh


[Verse 14: DMX]

Uh, uh, check it, check it, check it, check it, check it

Certain...will have a nigga hurtin'

The dirt you...will get you in the dirt

Word to Miz niggas is kids don't play I'm too old for the joke she'll get smoked I don't play it won't say what's going to happen if

You force my hand but someone somewhere would be like I lost my man take it to heart it's about to get dark

So run that all that shit y'all niggas talkin' been there done that what black? think it's a act? let me know

But he like what I'm saying so shut the...and let me go yo you think it's a game keep playing they gon' find your ass

Somewhere in the creek land it's over you just ain't laid down yet and then the minute you gon' be that ([?])

That they found yet you hold on for making movies and make moves and stop talking about...that you can't prove I’m the mountain

You can't move so why you trying looking at me stupid wondering why you died why you flying

Through the air with a big ass hole in your chest wishing you was pulling the best but it's too late for wishes or you

Getting this rest go to sleep papa will take care of the stress God bless and may he have mercy on your soul

Ah-a take these two more with you on your stroll

Uh, I'm right here dog

That's why I behave so cold before I start the flow think it's important you know nuclear payload will probably blow up the whole

Globe spreading my wisdom reaching across solar systems touching galaxies and the living creatures within them

From the creators of the exorcist the bone chilling lyrics I'm revealing the academy award winning I touch all men

And all women regardless of their religion as long as they got a law in them my vision be that of the ball eagle

Not the pigeon for 200 yards I strike a victim with precision for anyone who's ever questioned my poetic position I

Want you to concentrate and listen you must take a seat at the periodic table and taste the elements in order to

Accelerate development let me explain channel the powers of your brain drink a cup of your own chairs to be immune to the pain repeat after me

A kit that'll turn you into a real emcee just like me like that y'all DMX where you at y'all like that ya'll uh

Once again it's the darker nigga here to spark a nigga break apart a nigga

Cause the guard is bigger under stress so unless you want to get blessed to the chest with slugs from the smith n west rest or the pump'll put a hurt on a nigga

Dump six **cker feet of dirt on a nigga my hands stay dirty cause I played dirty the mob way

What you don't know f*** find out the hard way a nigga's job is never done I handle my business how it come

And it's never been a one-on-one there hasn't been a problem 'cause I dissolve 'em like salt lock it up like a vault whenever wreck is caught and it's my fault I keep

Niggas on point ducking down 'cause niggas like you need to get buck you...clown I extort to support my

Peeps and hold down the foot never get caught 'cause I creeps when I crawl leave nigga sprawled out after I smoke him I slit his throat dick in the

Mud and let his blood choke him off up North niggas get the pick stuck up in 'em and in the streets chickens get the ****

Slid 'cause I got to slide when the dirt is done a homicide but they want me on the murder one but as long as I got

Again I know I'm going to hell because i choose to sin all my life I've been the devil's advocate and mad niggas never even knew the

Devil had a kid but he does and when you hear the buzz of the chainsaw he'll know what I spilled your...brains for

Arf, arf, arf

[Verse 20: DMX]

Uh, uh, uh, uh, yo

I've lost my grip on reality, or so it would seem

Pinch myself to wake up, 'cause I know it's a dream

Niggas that don't know me see me and think I'ma rob 'em

Niggas that know me well see me and think I'm a problem

I'm just a nigga that's misunderstood

But word to mans, I'll turn your last name to Underwood

'Cause if I see it, I'ma take it and run with it, that's me

What type of bullshit is this nigga on? That's D

The darker it gets outside, the more blood flows

When I plug holes with the snub nosed

Gun blows, bullets whistle, wouldn't miss you

Hit you all up in your mouth like it tried to kiss you

Drama, it's right here, how much you need?

Beat you down with gat, see how much you bleed

How much you plead for your life, you was a killer

And all the bitches coming up out that ass, you feel it getting realer

Pop you yo if you want to step to Canibus I advise you not to not to yo cause if you

Come around the way talking all that I will pop you yo if I come off the top of the head

We'll all fall victim to bloodshed I leave more death than the nuclear warhead we'll all be killed if I turn it

Up full till god knows I got this rap game sold like a quilt you're probably wondering if I'm versatile no question

My styles adapt like luxury car suspension kick the type of shit to blow a microphone to bits if it's close

Enough to kiss I walk away with chapped lips I slap in clips and get down to the sounds of rounds hitting niggas

And niggas hitting the ground Copperfield niggas disappear like magic as soon as I pulled the semi-automatic

Out the jacket got you Illin' like King Kong was climbing your building movie directors record to be screaming "keep filmin'" I

Love to see them rock right cause I rock it right curious people pause like cars and stop lights cause it's banging in the way you

Wouldn't believe just to rate my tape you gotta combine five source magazines nigga that's 25 mics total I got average

Niggas with 4 mics saying that I'm a mortal fateless carbon monoxide a gunshot and now you're backside from a bullet

Traveling mach 9 the object of the game is to spark every cell in your brain at degrees hotter than blue flames

Propane gases incinerate you into ashes I got your briefing harder than girls in the mars classes stop bitching about if

It's written on freestyle got the whole Spanish community saying I'm muy mao charging niggas with booty styles 50

Fines in addition to five dollars for whack punch lines see I'm the top dog running the yard and

I represent 'cause I'm never chained to the fence hence to battle me is impossible I put your whole crew in the hospital with IVS in all of they nostrils so stop sleeping on me I ain't a mattress would you do more drama than a soap opera actions don't even think

Y'all uh, uh when it's on you messing with the bulls no ratties for my dogs keep to be

Knocking full with the bodies and the shotties always kept in the backseat of the autos drive by sleeve you laid back sleeping

Puddles what went through the mind of that madman when he committed murder a man that's look looking his eyes looks as though he wouldn't hurt a soul but that's an old

Trick that psychos use knowing that anything might light your fuse your best bet is to stay as far away from me as you

It all went down so quick I'm still catching him as he ran shades of light looks more like shades

Of dark let me know whether I'm good or to let the dogs bark touch a nigga in his heart now I got it in my pocket

Give it to my dogs watch how they lock it I couldn't take you through the mud and tell you every paper you didn't know

It's hard to keep blood on the paper it's always gon' flow and I can't stop you from spilling split personality one

Like please stop them from killing the other one like kill them all get them all do it today and that thing that we use my other half

Threw it away introduced to a personality I never knew existed you think that last one was bad this nigga's twisted so that's four

Souls trapped in one shell which means many more souls trapped in one hell slapped in one cell but not for long

Because ssi contest for my therapy in less than five back on the streets same four niggas stop taking the

Medication now I'm layin' mo niggas

Prayin' mo niggas won't see personality number 3 [?] [?] [?] that's all it be


[Verse 25: Canibus]

Canibus back yo

Yo I aspire to kick the fattest shit you've ever witnessed from a far side that's even confusing the fat lip

Rhymes designed from lines of pure knowledge I make your head nod to your neck runs out of cartilage I think it's obvious that I could bring

The ruckus scream on your crew like a military drill instructor when I come through niggas stand stiller than

Statues if I have to I battle your whole rap crew then I'll attack you with words that's absurd and rip your goddamn skin off

Just to get on your nerves distortion my brain waves communicate with Martians my fantastic four four

Firepower's awesome no man alive can survive my lyrical army I don't care if you got nine lives or five heartbeats I

Generate volts like electric eels 'cause I be sparking it like plugs in automobiles and I'm so for real with my

Lyrical skill mentally ill in the brain like Cypress Hill don't try to sneak attack I never sleep in black I do 360's with my head

When I watch my own back and you should have known that shit was there from the start I beat you more times a minute than a healthy heart

Rolling deep with niggas by the car loads and land cruises and shit sixty thousand dollar autos I step

Through your club like a portal and bag all the bitches because I got more lines than barcodes

Though I wasn't coming without mine

You put me on the front line because you doubt mine

What more dirt must I do, plus my crew

Busts at you, and you be like "What's that oooh"

Destroy these mutts, is these niggas toys or what

Bring all the pretty niggas thinking they gritty, in one city

Lemme show them niggas shitty some pity, but for fifty

A motherfucker will get a bullet to hum to him, put the gun to him

Hit 'em with something that comes to him, bet it runs through him

Look at what I done to him, no more smiles

Got the whole top half of his head, running wild

But you don't hear me though, so I turn out the lights

We can take it to the streets dog, turn off the mics

If you want war, then you want more, than you can stand

And this 44, will leave you with your...in the sand

Who the man, and now you cats know for real

Get at me dog, arf, arf, what the deal

Ain't no secret but how is going down when stop put on the pressure

It ain't nuttin' but another nigga put on a stretcher with the blanket over his face take him to the morgue with the waist cause he

Was in the wrong place at the wrong time so i gave it to him and his chest and his throat and his head and his back do his vest

Yes ain't a whole lot to breaking a nigga down fast and call me black cause that's how I'm gonna be on that ass

Y'all pussy niggas think it's sweet but ain't a...thing going down until I eat so kill that beef you better why you still got teeth

Cause they bout to get knocked out hopped out on that ass with a blast made yo shit drop out cop down to where you know what cause you know why you know my

Work it out, yo, speed that up a little something flex

Yeah, check it out y'all, yo I splattered your brain matter

The Quick Draw McGraw jaw tapper my lyrics hit harder than pissed off line backers

So exercise caution I shattered yours like porcelain mess around and get your life span shorter cause I'm the ultimate evil

Terrorizing people I handcuff your neck to a moving vehicle then I put your block scene on lock like a swat team

Cause I’m toting four pound Glocks with infrared beams it seems so stupid that you wanna battle us but we know rhymes like Einstein knows calculus

So don't be doubting my shit 'cause I'm the Canibus

And I got more lines than Amelia K Swiss

Without a question without a shadow of a doubt I kill a last dragon and drink the last dragon style

Niggas runnin' off at the mouth but they're just cowards afraid of my powers I made niggas piss in they trousers


[Verse 29: Noreaga]

Yo, New Orleans, La, Va to Queens, I-95, where we never drive clean

But good, gotta get out the hood, to really make it, now we cake it

Until our whole team'll take it to another level, another Rolie wit

Another bezel, like war against God against another devil

Sustainin', now we're in Moschino, niggas say we changed it, switched it

Now it's Cristal, instead of Mistic, Jose, catch me wit a pigeon and

A gold biscuit, gettin mad lifted, let me find out,, they sellin dimes out
