Testo Punch Lines - Canibus
Testo della canzone Punch Lines (Canibus), tratta dall'album Hip-hop for $ale
Can I bust?
Hamza
Follow us into a new era
Where lyrical content is a must
We clutch microphones like gangsters holding chrome
Like Toto, you far from home
Like words spoken wrong will never help you reach excellence
Stop writing like you got a speech impediment
When will you learn?
Wack lyrics and a hot beat makes your song irrelevant
This is not a movie
I'm a poet so it takes more than punchlines to move me
Yo, Can I bust your favorite rap star on ice?
What I talk on the mic make them call on Christ
As far as the eye can see, gaze out into the wide sea
Look for the island, the island is me
I heard Fat Joe said I was over in Iraq
He said I was a soldier in lyrical combat
Other people slandered my name but I dodged that
They don't see the missing pieces, my thesis provides rap
Under the influence, bang bitch music in a Bonneville Buick
I see your face, I'ma crash into it
Lyrically I kick ass, if you don't wanna know, don't ask
I might do it pro bono for no cash
The two-handed choke from the Hulk turn your brain to skull
To sand and salt, sprinkle you on the floor
I didn't wanna rap like that, but I had to
'Cause that's what my master would do if he was asked to
The perfect music machine, mechanical being
The most lyrical digital streams the world has ever seen
I did, I do, I does, I am, I will be, I was
The same nigga you love
We clutch microphones like gangsters holding chrome
Like Toto, you far from home
Like words spoken wrong will never help you reach excellence
Stop writing like you got a speech impediment
When will you learn?
Wack lyrics and a hot beat makes your song irrelevant
This is not a movie
I'm a poet so it takes more than punchlines to move me
Yo, I hope they film this shit, 'cause I'm 'bout to blaze you
And get it on tape too, I'm 'bout to K-Slater
Somebody gon' grab you, try to escape
Hold you down while I perform capoeira on your face
Why you sound like that? Why you tear the mic down like that?
Why you sound so intense when you rap?
The airborne attack you can't call off
Breathe exhaust like a horse or supercharged Mustang Ford
Slugs rain from the sky, it's like the angels want me to die
They push me harder 'cause they want me to try
A pit bull off the leash, barking speech
Like a bull in a pit lifting you off your feet
I feel like the world's mine, I could park in the streets
Kick the world's illest rhyme, police officers weep
People laying on the concrete exhausted from heat
Watching John Kerry spit over that Michael Moore beat
This is a little something that my repertoire boasts
I almost was in control of all coasts
We clutch microphones like gangsters holding chrome
Like Toto, you far from home
Like words spoken wrong will never help you reach excellence
Stop writing like you got a speech impediment
When will you learn?
Wack lyrics and a hot beat makes your song irrelevant
This is not a movie
I'm a poet so it takes more than punchlines to move me
I give the fans rhymes to quote, they all dope
Total lyrical landslide, give me all votes
But I could be as quiet as they want me to be
'Cause even though they say my name, they ain't talking to me
They talk to magazines, they talk to MTV
Stay up at 1:06 on BET talking to Free
Big niggas acting tough but they walk like their ankles is cuffed
Who gives a fuck if your ankles is buff?
I could articulate, I wanna participate
But they trying to hold me back with blackboard number eight
I picked the microphone up and sparked the debate
Ever since '98 I've been a target for hate
Jesus Christ, my name should be G. Bus Mic
Even when I rip the shit, fans leave uptight
But I don't know if I'm right no more
But I don't know if I'm right no more
We clutch microphones like gangsters holding chrome
Like Toto, you far from home
Like words spoken wrong will never help you reach excellence
Stop writing like you got a speech impediment
When will you learn?
Wack lyrics and a hot beat makes your song irrelevant
This is not a movie
I'm a poet so it takes more than punchlines to move me
