Canibus - C Scrolls lyrics

rate me

Yeah ayo,

Listen to the horns play,

I get busy all day,

I don't give a fuck what they wanna say.

This is me turning it up,

This is me burning it up,

You, observing the emcee bus.

Just a coach on the side lines,

Tryna bide time,

Watching the game being played out through my eyes.

I know it's painful how they degrade you,

But I praise you.

This is the soundtrack that we will train to.

This is not a call to arms

I did that ten years ago,

These are called keep alert bars.

Don't talk just work your jaws,

Don't walk just work the war,

That's a personal flaw.

Murdered bar after bar since 1974

When I was born with a mic on my arm.

Awesome,

Six minutes Canibus you on.

Yes, yes y'all.

To the beat god, next bar.

I do this to atone,

I do this to atone for my sins,

But I am punished for the tone of my skin.

Bring it down about 14.5 DB

Maybe then you might see what I mean.

Out in Berkley

They not too thirsty

They don't like veterans neither, but they can't hurt me.

Bring it down about 14.5 DB

Maybe then you might see what I mean.

Ayo, Hip-hop provost

Who said the word Hip-hop the most?

Which one of yous think you a poet?

Perfect cause you practice that classic,

Scholastic, Canibus man shit.

The current catalogue and past tense.

I do this to atone,

We all must atone for our sins,

But I am punished for the tone of my skin.

The C of tranquility - the C means light,

The light means space, my DNA strain is my base.

Don't know who I am,

Can't remember who I was.

I pump blood through the veins of Hip-hop,

For street buzz.

A constitution written in collusion

With limited distribution,

Since I was recruited I've bin making music.
