Black Lithium - Canibus, Canibus feat. Nappi Music

As I lay my head down to sleep

In true hip hop my soul will speak

I quit giving a crap about rap way back

But this is poetry

Something that they can’t take back

Write ascension 19 hours

And fifteen lyrics

Destination 15 degrees and 16 spirits

From carbon I came, to carbon I return

It seems like ridicule is all that I’ve earned

Black lithium clouds

Maritime meridian bound

Rap music look how silly you sound

Insectoid, High pitch voice, fricking cricket noises

It’s annoying like poison from neo-nicotinoids

Tell me who does the Creator favour

The one who loves thy neighbour

Or the intolerable self hating hater

Schlemiel!

Schlimazel!

Shmuck!

Which one of you cucks.

Just clean it up without making a fuss!

I’ll continue with the assumption that everything I’m saying

Can and will be subject to misinterpretation

Tough situation

Hunting Huxtable season

Jesus

Where’s Roy Cohn when you need him

I thought they were bluffing when I heard 'em say

«The nigga gets nothing»

Feed is like insurance to the Buzzards

Black lithium

They want our head in the clouds so we can’t see how they’re putting it down

Black lithium

You can’t take my mind from me

Black lithium

I’ve released thousands of tracks

Received plaques

But none of that matters

I wanna believe that

Mic pressure on full power on U. S Nimitz

Elevation is correlated to sea level systems

History is repeated

Patterns of a purge that is critically needed

To bring balance to the world

These are not my words

However cruel the words may sound

This is what we’re faced with now

They call it choice

I call it an adroit attempt to mind control

Like soul from a source

A source of power

Not ours we shall own our own labour

And we have shown infinite patience

Yet there is omission

No consessions

We are stuck, marooned to a place that sucks

Continuing with the assumption

That everything I’m saying can and will be subject to misinterpretation

I don’t know what we deserve

For still believing these liars for stealing, cheating and deceiving

Yes remain humble

While fire team rave and rumbles

In a war wagon that’ll pop your bubble

Black lithium

They wanna put it in the clouds so we can’t see how they’re putting it down

Black lithium

You can’t take my mind from me

I quit giving a crap about rap way back

But this is poetry — something they can’t take back

Write a message 23 hours and 19 minutes

Space station 30 degrees and 18 inches

Fortune and fame

Steep learning curves

The phoenix bird that does not want to re-emerge

You know what they say about every day above ground

You embrace the hate

You can’t save love now

Instinctually low — pause control

Often found at some some old head watering hole

Meet him in a pseudo maker in a Volcano crater

Close chamber but holds Satan

Go and entertain him

A deal and an oath is struck

Unknown to the deaf, dumb, and blind

You are told to trust

I’ll continue with the assumption

That everything I’m saying can and will be subject to misinterpretation

A little bit of history’ll tell you the present

I’ll be a pathetic

The future might be already written

Unless we become brothers

You will suffer the suffering of the suffered through unjust judgement

Black lithium

They wanna put it in the clouds so we can’t see how they’re putting it down

Black lithium

You can’t take my mind from me
