Verse 1:

Yo Yo Aye Yo!

I stand outside the gates of Buckingham Palace selling reefer

Puffing a challis with the beef eaters.

Gettin' so high that whenever I drop shit

It'll land on the window of your airplane cockpit.

Canibus with the hot shit "Crazy I. Click"

Niggas is bloody idiots thinkin' that they can stop this.

I'll increase my strength to a super human extent

Nigga your rhyme ain't worth six pence.

And if you can hear, smell, see, touch, and taste....

Then you don't need six senses to feel me punch you in the face.

>From Princeton, to ????? my lyrics invade Europe like Joseph Stalin,

And murder niggas for rhymin'. Spittin fire....

With gasoline filled saliva, drunk as Lady Diana's driver with

reporters

Behind her. Alcohol in the hands of

A minor. I got you panicking like bombs, with 30 second timers.

Clear the building, evacuate women and children....

Fuck what you feelin' nigga I came here to kill 'em.

Straight shittin', from New York to Great Britain,

And when we do shows we make the queen pay admission

What!

Chorus:

Canibus: When I say "Can-I" you say "Bus"

Canibus: Can-I

Crowd: Bus

Canibus: Can-I

Crowd: Bus

Canibus: When I say "Can-I" you say "Bus"

Canibus: Can-I

Crowd: Bus

Canibus: Can-I

Crowd: Bus

Verse 2:

Yo, Yo

Prepare for the worst. This next verse is the face of death

Me without lyrics is like a porn flick without sex,

Illmatic, my lyrical skills are Jurassic

With more flavor then skittles when not digitally mastered.

I go off like a cannon, and blow up the planet with "No Fear"

Like them clothes white boys be wearing.

I'm tougher than denim, lethal like venomous snake bites

The marijuana makes my eyes bright red like brake lights.

There ain't a party I couldn't rock, believe that.

There ain't a microphone brave enough to give me feedback.

I'm strong my word is "Bond" like James,

Niggas be tryin' to test but they "week" like 7 days.

MC's run away when I kick it, they act so chicken

They should come with a large drink and a biscuit.

My styles radioactive, massive atomic, I plan to push the Earth

In Front of Haley's comet. Breaking the "Facts Of Life" down

Like Tudy, I'm raw like sushi, with more vocab, then

Three fucking Fugees. So recognize or be hospitalized

Because lyrically on a scale of 1-10 I'm 25!

Chorus:

Verse 3:

Yo, Yo,

A little bit of weed and some hennesy,

Got me ready to set it with kinetic energy.

See I need much more energy then my enemies

If I want to make more Bill's then Bellamy.

So I could be on MTV, with women constantly telling me,

I resemble Billy D. I make fly rhymes to get my name on the scene.

And when I'm on the scene I do shows to get the green.

Then I take the green by a automobile machine, for

That thing on page 43, in Jet Magazine.

Canibus is the ultimate executioner's dream. Swinging the guillotine.

'cause whenever the head is severed from the human body

With a sharp enough weapon, the brain remains conscious for 10

seconds.

Long enough for me to give you one last message,

And when you get to hell you can tell Lucifer I said it.

Don't ever get it confused. Fuckin' with Canibus the human "rubics

cube"

Like you got something to prove.

Yo, whoever grabs the mic after me'll get booed, and get everything

In the club thrown at you and your crew.

>From moette bottles to bar stools, fruits and foods, if you got a

album

Out you get hit with your CD too.

Runnin' outside, lying, crying, denying that you ain't

The Gay Rapper, but you got fucked by him.

What's the difference, ya'll niggas still ain't in lyrical fitness.

Too busy mixing your business, with your bitches

While I be in the lab composing forbidden scriptures

So wicked, I Satan ejaculating on his fingers

Like Dirk Diggler, in the middle of Boogie Nights

Sniffin' white livin' the hype, he ruined his life.

But I'm a MC of a different type, yeah that's right.

Make sure your shit is right, or I'm a snatch your mic.

Nigga!

Chorus to fade

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Album art
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Album art
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
