Showtime at the Gallow

歌詞

(Canibus) This is Showtime at the Gallows Rip the Jacker (Canibus) Yo I dialogue with Amen-Ra 'til he gives me the nod And replaces me with a supercomputer automaton I don't barter for time I'm a martyr to rhymes And a selfless soldier with pride that was ordered to die A burning star in the sky, my heart is warped with a drive Expressing thoughts through a rhyme, my metaphors are alive It's like I've been crucified, they 'Hate Me Now' like Nas They punctured me through my side, the bleeding was cauterized I was revived after I died Only then I saw how I was truly admired and worshipped like a god It had mired up my mind and showed me a sign I fell off the ocean liner, someone throw me a line Let the world know the truth but it became my demise You know we're even I don't owe you a dime Sometimes I feel like killing myself, they've stolen my shine I wanted to be the illest for a moment in time From the ink to my pen to my pad to the ink in my arm How could one diss song possibly last this long? Tyson ain't the champ no more, them days is gone And Rip the Jacker ain't too stubborn to say when he's wrong (Canibus) I should get twenty dollars and go to Econolodge And tie the sawed-off's trigger around the doorknob Call the police squad and tell them I'm in room 1-0-5 And that a dirty bomb's inside Woke up in the cargo plane Playing Christy Lane for some entertainment while I train in the misty rain 'One Day at a Time, Sweet Jesus' is playing I'm sitting there praying, you probably can't believe what I'm saying But the voice in the back of my head keeps saying, "Germaine This is the real deal, man. This is not a dream. This is not a game The only sixteen you've got for now on is locked and loaded and in your hand Deploy and detach on land. You're the man And the pain is the weakness leaving the body, understand?" And reload with a full pack. Call COMSAT Tell them you need suppressive fire for troops in the back, STAT Insurgence and counter-insurgence, move with a purpose Absolutely mission critical, you never get nervous Applicate the shock-tube to the surface Standby! Blow it! Eyes open with your scope on a terrorist Tell him to go to Hell in Arabic Put a bullet through his narrow neck, watch the wall behind him get wet I'm an animal, I'll murder you and stare at your pets Get the tape! I know where the surveillance cameras are kept (Canibus) If you want a confession, you've got it You want product give me twenty dollars You want gossip, I'll give you logic On any topic, recording the positive data Rip is the best rapper, go confirm the status One million page dissertation written on paper Cheap labour for Pitney Bowe's tree curator My purification process is greater but thinly tapered Verbatim, my album is equal to over fifty acres Can-I-Bus before the Big Bang and after the Big Crunch I've only got to say it once Let there be light and I write a sentence The greatest discovery since opethicus afarensis Back to before Sumerians landed on the canyon In the Cambrian carrying bacteria with antigens And nine-foot stone mannequins The key to nuclear power and Porta Libitinaria Showtime at the Gallows, the Age of Aquarius And space harriers, life's last barrier Showtime at the Gallows!
