[00:00.00]"Poet Laureate II" [00:00.000] 作词 : Baldwin, Williams [00:08.38]Yo, why is the Ripper so ill? [00:11.43]That would be an unpardonable breech of confidence for me to reveal [00:14.70]He said, One of these days all eyes will be on me [00:17.26]When they look up in the sky and see the neon C [00:19.46]Rhymes inscribed on a nickel disk encased in a glass with an ion beam for longevity [00:24.48]For more than ten centuries, impressions and memories [00:27.25]The first time-machine inventor will mention me [00:30.12]Canibus was a visionary indeed [00:32.32]He believed light could travel in multiples of c [00:35.03]The organic supercomputer that solved the mysteries of Klein-Kaluza with two blue metric rulers [00:40.60]Liked Cool J but thought Steven Jay Gould was cooler [00:43.06]And he never liked to propagate rumors [00:45.31]Smoked Canary Island cigars [00:47.93]Liked American luxury cars and beautiful Asian broads [00:50.13]He had a strong mind [00:51.64]He used to philosophize about rhymes while he was pruning his bonsais [00:55.11]He claimed that he had written the greatest rhyme of all time [00:58.11]But he would never take it out of his archives [01:00.52]He wrote two songs per day [01:02.28]And was constantly experimenting with his wordplay [01:04.78]In his youth he did a report on the Sloan Digital Sky Survey [01:08.16]He got a F but he deserved an A [01:10.37]I followed his career from the first day [01:12.57]It seemed the lack of support contributed to his inert ways [01:15.42]Ive seen him put in twenty-four hour workdays [01:18.34]With deferred pay, undeterred by the worst shame [01:20.45]Public humiliation was the worst pain [01:22.76]He was spinning out of control like a class five hurricane [01:25.47]He said he wouldnt want another emcee to suffer the same [01:28.18]Especially when theres nothing to gain [01:30.43]He was the illest alive but nobody would face it [01:33.09]He spit til his tongue was too torched to taste it [01:35.75]Properly funded corporations Carbon-dated his latest creations [01:39.07]To extract the information, they found it utterly amazing [01:42.44]They claimed the body of his work was the same thing as a priceless painting [01:46.14]Never mattered to him the art galleries hated him [01:48.50]Cause Thomas Kinkade called and said he would take ten [01:51.05]Complete enigmas wrapped in puzzles encrypted in language [01:53.86]With sound but without shape or signature [01:55.97]Kept files in his garage on MS-DOS in a fireproof pod, we thought it was odd [02:00.89]Outside there was a shed with an Oppenheimer lock [02:03.60]He apparently kept more wax than Madame Tussaud [02:06.20]We were in total awe cause it blew our minds [02:08.51]So many rhymes that were intricately designed [02:11.03]He WAS poet laureate of his time [02:13.54]And if you dont mind Id like to share some of his rhymes [02:16.30]Alone in my room looking through the thirty-two X telescope zoom [02:19.90]Adjusting the focus of the moon [02:21.30]One should not assume the philosophy of David Hume is nothing more than a subjective conclusion [02:26.53]What is the maximum field rate application? [02:28.78]The runaway glaciation surrounding the ocean basin [02:31.55]Affects the population fluctuation on a continuous basis but thats just the basics [02:37.04]The juxtaposition of Can-I-Buss position [02:39.59]The precision of something no other has written [02:42.14]Way above and beyond what was intended [02:43.65]The unparalleled malleable enunciation of a sentence [02:47.51]You didnt go to college, obviously [02:49.42]I can tell by your ungodly unintelligible terminology [02:52.03]Your remarkable odyssey [02:53.99]The rhymes at modest speeds when the brain orders the body not to breathe [02:57.56]Your competency is not up to speed, youre not in my league [03:00.21]You couldnt possibly be hotter than me [03:02.31]Or oppositely at minus twenty-five degrees [03:04.78]Youll squeeze but the condensation makes rifle barrels freeze [03:07.59]Allow me to speak figuratively, ***** please [03:10.01]My intellectual propertys about the size of Greece [03:12.61]Your counselor advised you not to speak [03:14.47]My counselor advised me to keep rhyming until they stopped the beat [03:17.42]In the words of Joseph Heller, I learned how to write better, even though it sort of irked me [03:22.62]He said he didnt understand the process of the imagination but he felt he was at its mercy [03:27.59]Which exploits my point perfectly [03:29.04]And certainly reinforces the reason why nobodys probably ever heard of me [03:33.22]Couldnt understand what I mean by ill [03:35.82]Lest you try to translate what I print to film [03:37.83]This is the line of will, the circle of time, the cycle of eternity, the emergence of one line [03:43.31]Academic phonetics render critics tongue-tied [03:45.47]The personified dry humor of cum laude alumni [03:48.18]A wise man sees failure as progress [03:50.64]A fool divorces his knowledge and misses the logic [03:53.25]And loses his soul in the process obsessed with nonsense with a caricature that has no content [03:58.37]My style is masterful, multilateral, I could battle a fool and be naturally cruel [04:03.18]Words of scorn are a disastrous tool, from an existentialists view Im a better rapper than you [04:08.05]Grab the mic and rip your physical fabric in two, my attitude is ****** up but admirable [04:13.16]Different methods interpreted into different forms [04:15.87]From entirely different perceptions and seen from different norms [04:18.72]Not just spitting a poem, theres much more involved [04:21.28]Theres much more pieces of the puzzle for you to solve [04:23.59]Forty-eight orders of mechanical laws [04:25.89]And rays of creational cause enhance the cadence of my bars [04:28.80]Maybe I am self-absorbed [04:30.41]But thats the effect, to find the cause you should ask my A&R [04:33.68]Today is what it is but only because yesterday was what it was [04:37.64]Permitting youve heard of Beelzebub [04:38.89]A tale of demons and drugs, pissy drunk in the club [04:41.54]With the DJ doing the needle rub, chances are youd never see me, son [04:45.66]Yeah, I know my names Canibus but I cant help you if you need a dub [04:49.31]I came to holler at some big booty ******* and listen to the speakers thump [04:53.33]Whered you get conceited from? Im so nice on the mic they want to beat me up [04:57.04]Its deep as ****, I aint seen it all but Ive seen enough, really unbelievable stuff [05:01.45]Theres a lot of times when I want to speak but Im stuck [05:03.95]I should leave this rap **** alone and kick my incredible rhymes in the privacy of my own home [05:09.32]My imagination is my own, the liberty to speak freely lyrically on the microphone [05:14.03]With a pen in my hand I bring motion to the Enneagram and become Can-I-Millennium Man [05:19.24]Engrave my back with the Emperors Stamp [05:23.10]Been spitting scientific rap since the seventeenth century began [05:24.67]Trying to escape the wicked empire of Def Jam in the land where lyrics are bland and heretics hang [05:29.47]Every warrior has an ax to bury, but he has to learn to discern between enemy and adversary [05:35.56]I said to myself, Germaine, this is insane, its suicide, its controlled flight into terrain [05:39.27]I fought to regain control the plane but went up in a ball of flames [05:43.63]And got banned from the Hip-Hop Hall of Fame [05:46.17]For two bars I kept hearing in my head over and over again [05:49.18]It cost me everything [05:50.33]Im convinced now that more than the truth is at stake [05:52.53]Where people create language that pretends to communicate [05:55.24]Euphemisms are misunderstood as mistakes [05:58.05]But its a byproduct of the ghetto music we make [06:00.26]From an extroverted point of view, I think its too late [06:02.90]Hip-Hop has never been the same since eighty-eight [06:05.61]Since it became a lucrative profession theres a misconception [06:08.12]That a movement in any direction is progression [06:10.58]Even though the potency of it lessens [06:12.84]Big money industries writing checks to suppress the question [06:15.59]And nobody gives a **** no more [06:16.89]No one goes to the bookstore ever since the confluence of Moores Law [06:20.91]But I stay in the lab like Niels Bohr, his son Aage, Edward Lorenz and Leo Szilard [06:25.72]Lyrically I took rap music and turned the knob [06:28.27]To the right full-throttle and added panache [06:30.78]Why would I argue with my own conscience over the truth [06:33.18]Thats like me telling myself, Dont tell me what to do [06:35.84]Dialyses and analyses of battle emcees, sometimes I say things I myself cant believe [06:38.75]My lyrical is so skillfully elliptical, I can understand how it makes you miserable [06:46.46]You wonder why I never let you play your beats for me? [06:48.96]And why I keep my studio enshrouded in secrecy? [06:51.53]You wonder whats my infatuation with Alicia Keys? [06:54.27]Canibus, why dont you speak to me? [06:55.97]Yo, I meant it when I said no one can shine on a song that features me [06:58.64]Thats why I said it so vehemently [07:01.64]You need to replace the hate with respect, Im probably the best yet [07:04.84]Poet Laureate!
