Canibus - Showtime at the Gallow lyrics

Your rating:


This is Showtime at the Gallows 

Rip The Jacker 

Yo, I dialogue wit Amen-Ra 'til he gives me the nod 

Or replaces me wit a supercomputer automaton 

I don't barter for time I'm a martyr to rhymes 

And a selfish soldier wit pride that was ordered to die 

A burnin' star in the sky my heart is warped wit a drive 

Expressin' thoughts through a rhyme my metaphors are alive 

It's like I've been crucified they hate me now like Nas 

They punctured me through my side the bleeding was cauterized 

I was revived after I died 

Only then I saw how I was truly admired and worshipped like a god 

Shit'd mired up my mind they showed me a sign 

I fell off the ocean liner someone throw me a line 

Let the world know the truth but it became my demise 

Mothafucka you know we even I don't owe you a dime 

Sometimes I feel like killin' myself they've stolen my shine 

I wanted to be the illest for a moment in time 

From the ink to my pen to my pad to the ink in my arm 

How can one diss song possibly last this long? 

Tyson ain't the champ no more them days is gone 

And Rip the Jacker ain't too stubborn to say when he's wrong 



[HOOK] 



I should get twenty dollars and go to Econolodge 

And tie the sawed-off trigger around the doorknob 

Call the police squad and tell them I'm in room one oh five 

And that a dirty bomb's inside 

Woke up in the cargo plane playin' Christy Lane 

For some entertainment while I train in the misty rain 

"One Day at a Time Sweet Jesus" is playin' 

I'm sittin' there prayin' you prolly can't believe what I'm sayin' 

But the voice in the back of my head keeps sayin' "Germaine 

This is the real deal man this is not a dream this is not a game 

The only sixteen you got from now on is locked 

and loaded and in your hand 

Deploy or detach on land you the man 

And the pain is the weakness leavin' the body, understand? 

I can reload wit a full pack call COMSAT 

Tell them you need suppressive fire for troops in the back stat 

Insurgence and counter-insurgence move wit a purpose 

Absolutely mission critical you never get nervous 

Applicate the shock tube to the surface 

Standby blow it eyes open wit the scope on the terrorist 

Tell him to go to hell in Arabic put a bullet through his narrow neck 

Watch the wall behind him get wet 

I'm an animal I'll murder you and stare at your pets 

Get the tape I know where the surveillance cameras is kept 



[HOOK] 



If you want a confession? you got it 

You want product? Gimme twenty dollars 

You want gossip? I'll give you logic on any topic 

Recordin' the positive data 

Ripper's the best rapper go confirm the status 

One million page dissertation written on paper 

Cheap label from Pitney Bowes' tree curator 

My purification process is greater 

But thinly tapered verbatim 

My album is equal to over fifty acres 

Can-I-Bus before the Big Bang 

And after the big crunch I only gotta say it once 

Let there be light and I write a sentence 

The greatest discovery since 'opethicus afarensis 

Back to before Sumerians landed on the Cayman 

In the Caribbean carryin' bacteria with antigens 

And Nine-foot stone mannequins 

The key to nuclear power and four delivered talaria 

Showtime at the gallow the Age of Aquarius 

And Space Harrier's life's last barrier
