[ti:Poet Laureate II] [ar:Canibus] [al:Rip The Jacker] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Poet Laureate II - Canibus [00:01.13]Uhh I don't understand how a writer could ever get writer's block so called [00:04.59] [00:05.88]My problem is having too much and being unable to get it down [00:10.37]Yo why is the ripper so ill [00:11.59]That would be a unpardonable breach of confidence for me to reveal [00:14.90]He said one of these days all eyes would be on me [00:17.59]When they look up in the sky and see the neon c [00:20.05]Rhymes inscribed on a nickel disk encased [00:22.53]In glass with an ion beam for longevity [00:24.78]For more then 10 centuries impressions and memories [00:27.92]The first time the machine inventor will mention me [00:30.48]Canibus was a visionary indeed [00:32.31] [00:32.86]He believed light could travel in multiples of c [00:35.56]The organic supercomputer that solved the mysteries [00:38.64]Of clan calusa with 2 blue metric rulers [00:40.77]Liked cool j but thought stephen j gould was cooler [00:43.78]And he never liked to propagate rumors [00:45.71]Smoked canary island cigars [00:47.60]Liked america luxury cars and beautiful asian broads [00:50.83]He had a strong mind he used to philosophize [00:53.63]About rhymes while he was pruning his banzai [00:55.90]He claimed that he had written the greatest rhyme of all time [00:58.86]But he would never take it out his archives [01:01.07]He wrote 2 songs per day [01:02.71]And was constantly was experimenting with his wordplay [01:05.35]In his youth he did a report on the sloan digital sky survey [01:08.95]He got an f but he deserved an a [01:11.00]I followed his career from the first day [01:13.00]It seemed the lack of support contributed to his inert ways [01:16.16]I seen him pull in 24 hour workdays [01:18.11] [01:18.64]With deferred pay undeterred by the word shame [01:21.30]Public humiliation was the worst pain [01:23.64]He was spinnin out of control like a class 5 hurricane [01:26.51]He said he wouldn't want another mc to suffer the same [01:29.57]Especially when there's nothing to gain [01:31.43]He was the illest alive but nobody would face it [01:34.08]He spit till his toungue was too torched to taste it [01:36.64]Properly funded corporations carbon dated his latest creations [01:40.16]To extract the information [01:41.74]They found it utterly amazing [01:43.20]They claimed the body of his work was the same thing as a priceless painting [01:46.75]Never mattered to him the art galleries hated him [01:49.31]Cause thomas k k called said he would take 10 [01:52.06]Complete enigmas wrapped in puzzles encrypted in language [01:54.71]With sound but without shape or signature [01:57.01]Kept files in his garage on ms-dos [01:59.27]In a fire-proof pod he thought it was odd [02:01.86]Outside there was a shed with an oppenheimer lock [02:04.49]He apparently kept more wax then madame tussaud's [02:07.09]We were in total awe cause it blew our minds [02:09.56]So many rhymes that were intricately designed [02:12.17]He was poet laureate of his time [02:14.52]And if you don't mind I'd like to share some of his rhymes [02:17.21]Alone in my room looking thru the 32 x telescope zoom [02:20.74]Adjusting the focus of the moon [02:22.42]One should not assume the philosophy of david hume [02:25.14]Is nothing more then a subjective conclusion [02:27.42]What is the maximum field rate application [02:30.03]The run away glaciation surrounding the ocean basin [02:32.94]Affects the population fluctuation [02:35.10]On a continuous basis but that's just the basics [02:37.68]The juxtaposition of canibus's position [02:40.16]The precision something no other has written [02:42.79]Way above and beyond what was intended [02:44.50]The unparallel malleable annunciation of a sentence [02:47.99]You didn't go to college obviously [02:49.71]I can tell by your ungodly unintelligible terminology [02:52.53]A remarkable odyssey the rhymes of modern speeds [02:55.93]When the brain orders the body not to breathe [02:57.92]Incompetency is not up to speed you not in my league [03:00.55]You couldn't possibly be hotter then me [03:02.72]Or oppositely your minus 25 degrees you'd squeeze [03:05.94]But the condensation makes rifle barrels freeze [03:08.05]Allow me to speak figuratively ni**a please [03:10.40]My intellectual properties are about the size of greece [03:13.23]Your counselor advised you not to speak [03:14.90]My counselor advised me to keep rhymin until they stopped the beat [03:18.15]In the words of joseph heller I learned how to write better [03:21.03]Even though it sort of urked me [03:22.86]He said he didn't understand the process of the imagination [03:26.27]But he felt he was at it's mercy [03:27.86]Which exploits my point perfectly and certainly reinforces [03:30.96]The reason why nobody's probably ever heard of me [03:33.95]Couldn't understand what I mean by ill [03:35.85]Unless you try to translate what I print to film [03:38.34]This is the line of will the circle of time [03:40.91]The cycle of eternity the emergence of 1 line [03:43.62]Academic phonetics render critics tounge-tied [03:46.35]I've personified dry humor of cum-laude alumni [03:49.09]A wise man sees failure as progress [03:51.35]A fool divorces his knowledge and misses the logic [03:53.73]And loses his soul in the process [03:55.44]Obsessed with nonsense with a caricature that has no content [03:59.21]My style is masterful multi-lateral [04:01.41]I could battle a fool and be naturally cruel [04:03.86]Words of scourn are a disasterous tool [04:06.09]From an existentialist's view I'm a better rapper then you [04:08.98]Grab the mic and rip your physical fabric in 2 [04:11.57]My attitude is f**ked up but abrogable [04:14.01]Different methods interpreted into different forms [04:16.47]From entirely different perceptions and seen from different norms [04:19.29]Not to spit in the palm there's much more involved [04:21.84]There's much more pieces of the puzzle for you to solve [04:24.48]48 orders of mechanical laws [04:26.62]And rays of creational cause enhance the cadence of my bars [04:29.63]Maybe I am self-obsorbed [04:31.28]But that's the effect to find [04:32.74]The cause you should ask my a and r [04:34.67]Today is what it is but only because yesterday was what it was [04:38.07]Permitting you heard of beezlebub [04:39.61]A tale of demons and drugs pissy drunk in the club [04:42.69]With the dj doing the needle rub [04:44.59]Chances are you'll never see me son [04:46.37]Yeah I know my names canibus but [04:48.27]I can't help you if you need a dub [04:50.24]I came to holla at some big booty b**ches [04:52.64]And listen to the speakers thump where you get conceited from [04:55.22]I'm so nice on the mic they wanna beat me up [04:57.76]Its deep as f**k I ain't seen it all but I've seen enough [05:00.84]Really unbelievable stuff [05:02.25]There's a lot of times where I wanna speak but I'm stuck [05:04.89]I should leave this rap sh*t alone [05:06.79]And kick my incredible in rhymes in the privacy of my own home [05:09.98]My imagination is my own [05:11.73]Delibity to speak to freely lyrically on the microphone [05:15.00]Wit a pen in my hand I bring motion to the enyogram [05:17.78]And become cani-millenia man [05:20.11]Grave my back with the emperor's stamp [05:21.97]Been spittin scientific rap since the 17 th century began [05:25.54]Tryna' escape the wicked empire of def jam [05:27.82]And the land where lyrics are bland and heretics hang [05:30.34]Every warrior has an axe to bury [05:32.39]But he has to learn to discern between enemy and adversary [05:35.47]I said to myself germaine this is insane [05:37.92]It's suicide it's controlled flight into terrain [05:40.32]I fought to regain control of the plain [05:42.48]But went up in a ball of flames [05:44.32]And got banned from the hip-hop hall of fame [05:46.84]For two bars I kept hearing in my head [05:48.70]Over and over again it cost me everything [05:50.80]I'm convinced now that more then truth is at stake [05:53.24]Where people create language that pretends to communicate [05:56.03]Euphamisms are misundertood as mistakes [05:58.20]But its a bi-product of the ghetto music we make [06:00.81]From an extroverted point of view I think it's to late [06:03.43]Hip hop has never been the same since '88 [06:05.90]Since it became a lucrative profession as a misconception [06:08.95]In the movement in any direction as progression [06:11.04]Even though of the potency of it lessens [06:12.94]Big money industries writing checks to suppress the question [06:16.06]And nobody gives a f**k no more no one goes to the book store [06:19.51]Ever since the influence of moore's law [06:21.13]But I stay in the lab like niels bohr [06:23.44]His son aage edward lawrence and leo szilard [06:26.26]Lyrically I take rap music and turn the knob [06:28.88]To the right full throttle and added panache [06:31.32]Why would I argue with my own conscience over the truth [06:33.88]That's like me telling myself don't tell me what to do [06:36.61]Dialysis and analyses of battle mc's [06:39.20]Sometimes I say things I myself can't believe [06:41.24] [06:41.87]My lyrical is so skillfully eliptical [06:44.15] [06:44.78]I can understand how it makes you miserable [06:47.17]You wonder why I never let you play your beats for me [06:49.83]Or why I keep my studio shrouded in secrecy [06:52.18]You wonder what's my infatuation with alicia keyes [06:54.83]Canibus why don't you speak to me [06:56.77]Yo I meant it when I said no one can shine [06:59.33]On a song that features me [07:00.80]That's why I said it so vehemently [07:02.32]You need to replace the hate with respect [07:04.42]I'm probably the best yet poet laureate [07:06.59] [07:07.89]Generally I take I go with the given [07:09.79] [07:10.66]Ya know with what comes to me over the celestial wireless [07:14.62] [07:16.13]Whenever it comes you're lucky when you get it
