(canibus)

Yoyo...

Out on the battling tip my verbal lateral grip

Keeps my tongue glued to the a-dat when I'm trackin' 'em swift

Let my spit lubricate the chap on my lips

And make you rappers have fits 'cause I'm back in the mix

Forget a pad and a penI write rhymes on an ibm

Ebonics is deadthe binary language is in

Canibus practices in a room wit a thousand candles lit

Meditating on this rapping shit

Because my freestyle reigns sovereign

Wit a deeper conscious than the prophet muhammad was born wit

My brain cavity is enormous

My left hemisphere alone harnesses all of the 7 sharveous

While the right one harnesses darkness

The type of dark that makes a house haunted

The type of dark that people get lost in

The type of dark you fear when you're dead in your coffin

I hear you talkin' but I ignore it

Cause you garbage and your rhymes borin'

So keep standin' on the corner

The thrash-man will collect you in the mornin'

Thug cats frontin'

Wacker than blinky blink

On the back of the wack-ass wagon babblin' about - nothin'

Now that real hood rats could get it onblack

Meet me at the tunnel where pussy cats get robbed at

Rubber faced rappers get stretched like elastic claymation

Characters with verbal vernaculars

Slappin' ya like a white water raft

Or an olympic kayak paddlin' across the - niagara

Fake mcs haul ass like they runnin' track

Where ever canibus or rakim is at

(rakim)

Be ready and at ya best

The celebrity match of death

Heart snatched through your chestcardiac arrest

Crack your neck while I break your armscatch your breath

Then I asked the ref"how many cats is left? "

One on onewho challenging? come get did

All I have is a pen and punish you kids

Abdomen punctured and look what I did to his wig

Wanna live then I stab 'em in the lung with his rib

Every word I say detach a vertebrae from your spine

Rematch wherever we meet atany place anytime

Get your snot-box smashed with a 9

Smacked with a rhymepush your forehead to the back of your mind

Try to explain what it's like seeing your brain

Your insanesoon to be id'ed as remains

Then I reincarnate 'em and kill 'em again

Again and againagain and again



(chorus)



(canibus):

Yoyo….

The battle started with a grapple

He had real long hair so a grabbed a hand full

And chopped 'em in the adams-apple

His partner in back of you tried to attack you

So i'ma twist 'em up like a pret-zel then i'ma tag you

(rakim):

I'm on some stone cold shit

Warn your whole click

Cartilage get blown until the whole bone split

Who wanna spitbang quickstrangle 'em wit his lip he tried to flip

But I left his body danglin'



(canibus):

You left 'em danglin'

I can't believe he wanna grapple again

I swung 'em around like I was dancing wit 'em

Put his arms in back of his head and snapped 'em again

Then I grabbed his limbs and put in the figure-"6 subtracted from 10"



(rakim):

Seven birdsmake 'em swerve 'til their vision is blurred

Turn cats that suped from superb to nerds

Just say the wordI'll leave your dna on the curb

And stick my dick in your ear and fuck what you heard
