(rakim) yo bis, ima punish em
(canibus)
Yo, yo...
Out on the battling tip my verbal lateral grip
Keeps my tongue glued to the a-dat when Im trackin em swift
Let my spit lubricate the chap on my lips
And make you rappers have fits cause Im back in the mix
Forget a pad and a pen, I write rhymes on an ibm
Ebonics is dead, the binary language is in
Canibus practices in a room wit a thousand candles lit
Meditating on this rapping shit
Because my freestyle reigns sovereign
Wit a deeper conscious than the prophet muhammad was born wit
My brain cavity is enormous
My left hemisphere alone harnesses all of the 7 sharveous
While the right one harnesses darkness
The type of dark that makes a house haunted
The type of dark that people get lost in
The type of dark you fear when youre dead in your coffin
I hear you talkin but I ignore it
Cause you garbage and your rhymes borin
So keep standin on the corner,
The thrash-man will collect you in the mornin
Thug cats frontin
Wacker than blinky blink
On the back of the wack-ass wagon babblin about - nothin
Now that real hood rats could get it on, black
Meet me at the tunnel where pussy cats get robbed at
Rubber faced rappers get stretched like elastic claymation
Characters with verbal vernaculars
Slappin ya like a white water raft
Or an olympic kayak paddlin across the - niagara
Fake mcs haul ass like they runnin track
Where ever canibus or rakim is at
(canibus) let me bust em
(rakim) naw, ima punish em
(canibus) naw, let me bust em
(rakim) naw, ima punish em
(canibus) ra, let me bust em
(rakim) naw, ima punish em
(canibus) naw,let me bust em
(rakim) naw, ima punish em
(canibus) naw, let me bust em
(rakim) naw, ima punish em
(canibus) ra, let me bust em
(rakim) naw, ima punish em
(canibus) naw, let me bust em
(rakim) naw, ima punish em
(canibus) come on ra, let me bust em
(rakim) yo bis, ima punish em
(rakim)
Be ready and at ya best
The celebrity match of death
Heart snatched through your chest, cardiac arrest
Crack your neck while I break your arms, catch your breath
Then I asked the ref, "how many cats is left? "
One on one, who challenging? come get did
All I have is a pen and punish you kids
Abdomen punctured and look what I did to his wig
Wanna live then I stab em in the lung with his rib
Every word I say detach a vertebrae from your spine
Rematch wherever we meet at, any place anytime
Get your snot-box smashed with a 9
Smacked with a rhyme, push your forehead to the back of your mind
Try to explain what its like seeing your brain
Your insane, soon to be ided as remains
Then I reincarnate em and kill em again
Again and again, again and again
(chorus)
(canibus):
Yo, yo.
The battle started with a grapple
He had real long hair so a grabbed a hand full
And chopped em in the adams-apple
His partner in back of you tried to attack you
So ima twist em up like a pret-zel then ima tag you
(rakim):
Im on some stone cold shit
Warn your whole click
Cartilage get blown until the whole bone split
Who wanna spit, bang quick, strangle em wit his lip he tried to flip
But I left his body danglin
(canibus):
You left em danglin
I cant believe he wanna grapple again
I swung em around like I was dancing wit em
Put his arms in back of his head and snapped em again
Then I grabbed his limbs and put in the figure-"6 subtracted from 10"
(rakim):
Seven birds, make em swerve til their vision is blurred
Turn cats that suped from superb to nerds
Just say the word, Ill leave your dna on the curb
And stick my dick in your ear and fuck what you heard
