Yo, some say the pen overpowers the sword The video camera is just as powerful when it records Appalling footage of cops breaking the law Mad at you because of what you saw, now they're breaking your jaw I've been accused of being internally preoccupied 'Cause the rhymes talk to me and I talk to the rhymes Clinically induced impulses reveal what's hidden Written prescriptions given by qualified clinicians Lafayette pegboards be spinning on turntables To determine the motor coordination available Those able to speak what I spoke repeat my quotes My systematic treatment approach be deep in their throats I inject the frontal lobe of the brain with a lethal dose Of unspeakable dope worse than opium smoke Well spoken like Washington Post or a Fox News Network host Scale intelligence like Wechsler Adult Nonnormative data brain storage matter couldn't capture A couple of years ago they had to put it on Napster Resurrect Rip the Jacker to rip these rappers For every second the clock ticks I'ma attack ya The C-A-N dash I dash B-U-S gets the last laugh before the critical mass In half the speed of a bulb flash fire will engulf that ass Into a molehill of charcoal ash Only to be blown away by a cold draft Wack emcees got no chance, It's so sad They ask Canibus, 'Will you ever run out of things to say? How much breath can a man breathe in a day?' Needless to say, I think it's kind of deep in a way People be like Bis is too ill keep him away It's a good thing I got patience I've been waiting here longer than Dr. Levinson's time equations Trying to figure out what made men, was it the theory of inflation? Or are we just the product of the ape stem? You think because I'm not on a major I can't bust? And because I come from the ghetto that I can't adjust? Yeah, my disposition was rough But it turned me into a quick learner all I need now is some luck I used to be an undisciplined piece of faecal matter An underdog rapper but I closed that chapter I deal with my adaptive difficulty faster And question my projective technique as a rapper I've lost interest in the battle glory and glamour But I can't control Rip the Jacker when he gets amped-up It doesn't matter we've all got a dark side A loud mouthed Mau-mau from the apartheid Yo, you want to earn your respect?
