Canibus - Mind Control lyrics

rate me

[Chorus: Female singing]

You're under my, you're under mind control

You know you're lost, don't even try to fight

You cant escape, I rule you day and night

You're under my, you're under mind control

[First Verse]

Been in this rap game since ninety-six

Can-I-Bus, also known as Canibus

And even though that might seem like a short time

I was never known for spitting a short-rhyme

I'm known for my ill metaphors and lines

And I'm inspired by that little voice inside

That says, 'keep a strong mind and don't compromise'

Nothing happens before it's time, don't get off of the grind

See the game is cold, don't lose control

All the glitters ain't gold, you could lose your soul

I've been through it before, guess you live and you learn

Everyone takes turns getting what they deserve

It's like a revolving door as far as Canibus is concerned

Please believe it, I'mma get what I earned

As far as getting that dough, and everything else in my career goes

I'm completely in control, come on

[Chorus: Female singing]

[Canibus]

Now don't get it twisted, Canibus ain't getting Jiggy with it

I'm just dumbing it down for a minute

Went from Jersey to A-T-L, but then I relocated

Out to Cali on some one-way shit

Bought a cheap ticket and split, I'm in coach sitting next to this chick

With some real voluptuous lips

She asked me if I can help her give her luggage a lift

After that, she wouldn't shut up for the rest of the trip

She said she thought I looked familiar, but she never caught on

I started nodding off, she was talking so long

Put my headphones on, then I went to sleep

Reclined the seat, thought about rhymes and beats

I thought about how I spent so much time in the East

And how my mind was never in peace

In the streets, if you want to that yellow-brick road

Paved with gold, you just gotta take control, come on

[Chorus: Female singing]

[Canibus]

I stepped off the plane, never want to sit in coach again

I can't deal with the neck-pain

Seen some guy holding up a sign with my name

What's up my main-man, where's baggage claim'

Took the elevator, I was physically drained

The chick from the plane said, 'bye,' and started to wave

Man, I'm just happy to be in L.A.

Got my release papers from Universal/M.C.A

Now it's time to get that real paper, shake off the haters

They can't break us, we're Gladiators

World famous, my name is on the mind of all of the majors

Canibus is outrageous

Fans sing along when I perform on stages

Or when they hear my songs on they two-way pagers

They can't front, 'cause I broke the mold

And took a little time, but now I'm in control

[Female vocalizes the harmony until fade]
