The Law Of Self lyrics - Canibus

Hi, people ask me what is Lyrical Law

In its most original form

Lyrical Law was just a language that I used

To describe various components of lyrical fitness

And that was all

Then they said they wanted me to break that down

'Cause I made that style

So that's why I'm makin' this now

I'ma show you how, stay with me

2011 introspective

Lyrical Law has eleven new merits

Every concept seem separate

But all contact is a self generated effort

2011 introspective

Lyrical Law has eleven new merits

Every concept seem separate

But all contact is a self generated effort

First lesson, check it, 2011 introspective

Lyrical Law has eleven new merits

Every concept seem separate

But all contact is a self generated effort

2011 introspective

Lyrical Law has eleven new merits

Every concept seem separate

But all contact with a higher power is a message

I said it, all contact with a higher power is a rare credit

Only angels on the guest list

We've had enough of the lies

We won't keep believing your disguise

Ain't no way to break through

If you keep believing what they tell you

Because when you wake up in the morning and you can't even breathe

So much stress on your chest that you gotta buckle to your knees

Our lungs are shattered, shattered from the rage

We don't give a fuck, we gonna scream it anyway

Yo, Lyrical Law flow open the hyper-dimensional window

The code is a node unbeknownst

Lightening bolts that branch out fangs to the throat

You can't speak on the truth cause you're a mainstream ho

From the dirt floor in the hut to the mansion on stilts and struts

They're alive but they haven't lived much

It's almost time to get in touch, they will whine and discuss

This is for their own good, Canibus

Hip Hop, what a rush, turn sucker MCs to slush

Such and such and such and such

Enough, none of them was hits, they was near miss

I ain't talking about that, I'm talking about this

2012, classified patents

Only the first couple of thousands got to do with rapping

I've been rapping since rap happened

Half of y'all rappers is tap dancing the other half of y'all is lap dancing

That 'Man in the Mirror' laughing at the 'Melatonin Magik'

Yeah, they all laughing till the Spaceships landed

Sorrow leads the way

Always broken with their wicked minds

They're falling away

Cause there is no truth within their eyes

No place, no place to go

But not you Canibus, your sorrow will be your advantages

But you must control how to channel it

4th dimensional shifts are sandwiched

Between this reality and a 5th dimensional rift

The teacher doesn't talk in anaglyphs

But you misunderstand Canibus, Hip Hop gave him the chance to exist

The most advanced lyricism ever spit

And all they keep talking about is some stupid random shit

Just talk about the good, stop talking 'bout the bad

Cause other peoples business will beat your ass

Somebody new showed up and we don't like him

They bathe in human corpse dismembered to their liking

And all I'm doing is rhyming, that's not violent

I'ma shut up, to deactivate this bomb we need silence

Knowledge, is the reason that we bleed violet

The Leaders acknowledge this in private

They are the watchers of the prophets

Post Apocalyptic, must stop it

Fear is not an emotion, fear is not an option

They paralyze your motor skills, I could live without it

You call that a thrill? I doubt it

We've had enough of the lies

We won't keep believing your disguise

Ain't no way to break through

If you keep believing what they tell you

Cause when you wake up in the morning and you can't even breathe

So much stress on your chest you just got to buckle to you knees

Our lungs are shattered, shattered from the rage

We don't give a fuck, we gonna scream it anyway

Steel cables repel downward to inner mountain

Look around it, Sasquatch is on my next album

The savage looking for salvage, not talk about them, talk about us

There's probably only a thousand left

Lyrical Law's your only outlet

Get out while you still can and forget about it but don't doubt it

I water the garden, the metal growing out the ground hardens

My lyrics give me presidential pardon

I serve as the Shepherd and Bro to bring a message to the globe

This Law is the mortar between stones

I serve as the Shepherd and Bro to bring a message to the globe

We are one Soul in separated zones

We control our souls and the microphones

That control the sound waves that this Law exposes

2011 introspective

Lyrical Law has eleven new merits

Every concept seem separate

But all contact is a self generated effort

2011 introspective

Lyrical Law has eleven new merits

Every concept seem separate

But all contact is a self generated effort

First lesson, check it

2011 introspective

Lyrical Law has eleven new medics

Every concept seem separate

But all contact is a self generated effort

2011 introspective

Lyrical Law has eleven new merits

Every concept seem separate

But all contact with a higher power is a higher message
