2000 B.c. (before Canibus) Lyrics - Singles - Canibus

Yo, my offense is a mixture of Mike and Muhammad 

Knock a nigga unconscious and talk shit 

In bare-knuckle boxin', speed is the object 

Weavin' and dodgin' with defensive blockin' 

So in the ring, you cannot win 

The top ten become nine dead if I ever decide to hop in 

With the one-two, one-two shot to 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)
