[Canibus]
In the beginning I discovered wordplay
I experimented with some syllables from the first to the third day
On the fourth I searched for the words to say
How to compress complex verbiage in the least amount of space
I was perfect at it and mastered the tactic's
On the fifth day I decided I would combine it with mathematics
On the sixth day I became a fanatic and I couldnt kick the habit
I would just look in the mirror and practice
On the seventh cycle, I had to take the day off
I was exhausted I guessed my work will never pay off
But if it happened it to him, it could happen to me
And if it happened to me, it was destined to be

[Chorus: repeat 2X]
Yo, Genabis, Exobus, Levitibus
There aint a mic on this planet I'm restricted to touch
I read the cosmo's but God wrote predicted as much
The inhabitants lack faith but resistance is tough

[Canibus]
They backslide back to church and call a minister's bluff
They rather remain unenlightened then listen to Bus
I blew the fuck up, even though it was short and abrupt
I was the first rapper to ever to close orbit the sun
One small step for man, one huge step for mankind
...I am the red giant of rhymes
Solar deflectors, incinerate you whole in a second
Flow is untested those that I've threatened fold under pressure
At 120 Beta cycles, high volts ignite your eyeballs
Until you see the fire in front of you
Optic cone rods, melt one at a time till you realize you in hell
Rip the Jacker's not done with you
I terrorize the rap community with impunity
Blow you to pieces and move elusively thru the debris
What my enemies want to do to me is old news to me
Those that pursue to me will never get thru to me

[Chorus: repeat 2X]

[Canibus]
First rapper to speak over beats dogmatically
Mixed with Elizabethian drama and tragedy
My motto is to dress casually and live lavishly
Look at the Victorian tapestry in back of me
Notice the post renaissance pictures I drew
Hand sketched drawings of the deserts in Nazca Peru
The followable audio propogates the possible truth
For proof I'm the illest so the choice is not unto you
See the standard ideological definition of a rap model
Its Canibus scholarly periodicals
The article is substantially impressive, more then a message
A working thesis from several different perspectives
The Rosetta stone of sentences
For rap music's tentative
Enter apprentices
This is Genabis
The Rosetta stone of sentences
For rap music's tentative
Enter apprentices
This is Genabis

Today was my 1st time hearing of Canibus. There should not even be a debate. This rapper is NOT operating on the same level of conscienceness as your everyday average rapper. He is NOT JUST an entertainer.The beat is nice but do you hear what he is sayn? His gift/talent is not from this realm. This black man/rapper is conscience, wise, and intelligent beyond measure along with understanding metaphysics. Dont argue with the critics. The gifts/talents r undeniable at the level he operates.

Most rappers are comedians or attempt to sound like hardened convicts to impress their audience. Biss simply paints lavish mental landscapes and dares you to travel across them without losing your sanity from the utter brilliance and beauty of it all...

All Hail Captain Cold Crush...

@Chrisruleshughes Hmmm...could be connected but I'm positive Bis wasn't thinking this when he wrote the lyrics, remember, he was in Iraq getting high as hell while the beats were being done so he was unaware of the samples. Stoupe may have made that connection, though.

@YewTubeUsername Haha, ya people always thumb up dumb comments begging for thumbs up, Canibus fans are smarter than that, though. Bis does operate on another level of consciousness, one of the greatest of all time in my opinion. Only rappers I put in the same league as him are Nas, Ras Kass, and Rakim, all these dudes completely transcended rap, better yet, music with their lyrics. Btw, nice YouTube Username, YewTubeUsername, lol.

Never seen 2 top comments more amazing then those. Dont thumbs up my comment and ruin it just embrace!

Rip the Jacker's not done with you

~Tell me who creates visual lyricism like this?!?! Who else can do it?!

[KindredKunoichi]

Canibus & his cataclysmic blow!!! Such a shame Def Jam holds such a sway over the industry that most casual listeners will never hear this masterpiece!!! Sheesh I picked up this Album quicker than a Soho Prostitute picks up an STD!!! Absolute verbal mastery!!!

[ReneM1989]

@stopanthinkok and... agreed!

[fundxthexmental]

@chrisruleshughes proof read your shit before you hit post. That's the most incomprehensible sentence in the world. Seriously dude you started strong but then it seems like you had a fucking stroke! All I can say is... WHAT? Unless you're actually retarded? If so... Dude strong did you start butt den f4ll wya of dis 1!

[Chrisruleshughes]

@stopanthinkok he never touched billboard, but billboard acts can't touch him. now, last night i watched candyman 1 and 2 and realised the music was on genebis. double bonus! then it got me over analysiing, ''i couldn't kick the habit, i would just look in the MIRROR and practice''. maybe i am trying too hard to link it, but when you'e just watched candyman and 1 and 2 and the all you see and know are mirrors......................g­ota be connected. if not, we'll never know but god bless bis.x
