2000 Seasons

Lyrics

Yeah Hi Tek...
 Whom do we aspire to reflect on peoples death
 Who's entertainment shall we sing our agony
 Of our hopes
 That the destroyers aspiring to extinguish us will suddenly
 Suffer remorse at the sight of their own fantastic success?
 The last imbecile to dream that dream is dead
 He was killed by the saviors oo the chin
 Knock you out like ten shots of vodka and gin
 The beautiful blend of power and strength
 From the top of my head, down to where my toe cuticles end
 I verbally burn a nigga, lyrically hurt a nigga
 Pull a voodoo verse on a nigga, Kennedy curse a nigga
 Who can spit the words quicker than the average man?
 Who can embarrass a man? Bite you with fangs and mangle ya hands
 On candid cam, the Canibus can
 The Canibus can with the stamina to damage a man
 It's been a long time
 (It's been a long time)
 I shouldn't have left you
 (I shouldn't have left you)
 Without a strong rhyme to step to
 I told y'all
 (C'mon)
 I roast y'all
 (C'mon)
 So come on
 Hold on
 (Hold on)
 It's been a long time
 (It's been a long time)
 I shouldn't have left you
 (I shouldn't have left you)
 Without a strong rhyme to step to
 I told y'all
 (C'mon)
 I roast y'all
 (C'mon)
 So come on
 Hold on
 (Hold on)
 Yo, I spit for it
 (Lie for it)
 Live for it
 (Die for it)
 Back out the nine, commit a homicide for it
 If I'm handcuffed with the right to remain silent for it
 I'ma blow trial and do the federal time for it
 You mad at the last album, I apologize for it
 Yo, I can't call it, motherfuckin' Wyclef spoiled it
 But this time for 99 I got 5 on it
 You should double up and put a dime on it
 Matter of fact, triple your nickle and put 14.99 on it
 I'ma shine on it, watch Flex drop a bomb on it
 About ten times on it, watch people call a request line for it
 Cypher sounds keep pushin' rewind on it
 Look out for the album with the Canibus design on it
 12 o'clock in the morning you'll be standin' on line for it
 I'm a live poet with a sharp ear and eye for it
 'Coz I tear down mics and put a out of order sign on it
 It's been a long time
 (It's been a long time)
 I shouldn't have left you
 (I shouldn't have left you)
 Without a strong rhyme to step to
 I told y'all
 (C'mon)
 I roast y'all
 (C'mon)
 So come on
 Hold on
 (Hold on)
 It's been a long time
 (It's been a long time)
 I shouldn't have left you
 (I shouldn't have left you)
 Without a strong rhyme to step to
 I told y'all
 (C'mon)
 I roast y'all
 (C'mon)
 So come on
 Hold on
 (Hold on)
 Yo, I rip shit with the ballistic characteristics
 Of a hollow tip at point blank distance
 I flip shit when I spit shit, Father forgive bis
 I just snatched the Jesus piece off some Christians
 'Coz they sounded like idiots, they went from silver to gold to platinum
 After the millennium they'll probably be wearin' iridium
 They so gassed, if a bitch sucked they dick they'd probably cum helium
 Y'all niggaz can't be serious, I was nice before ice
 Before Christ, before the words let there be light
 And a light took over the night, I was born with a mic
 Lord of the mic before all plant and animal life
 Took this rap shit to new heights
 Before the Wright brothers took flight
 Before dog fightin' and aerial strikes
 Before MC's picked up pens and started to write
 Before promotional marketin' and posterlights?
 The Canibus'll bust up mics, punch out lights
 Punch out your motherfuckin' eyesight for the title bought fight
 Ask Top Phife, I snatch the track for half price
 The Canibus is too nice, gimme that mic
 It's been a long time
 (It's been a long time)
 I shouldn't have left you
 (I shouldn't have left you)
 Without a strong rhyme to step to
 I told y'all
 (C'mon)
 I roast y'all
 (C'mon)
 So come on
 Hold on
 (Hold on)
 It's been a long time
 (It's been a long time)
 I shouldn't have left you
 (I shouldn't have left you)
 Without a strong rhyme to step to
 I told y'all
 (C'mon)
 I roast y'all
 (C'mon)
 So come on
 Hold on
 (Hold on)
