Also, "The Message" by Nas and also AZ's verse on "Life's a Bitch"

One of my all-time favorites. I'd also put One Mic, I Gave You Power, and Belly Button Window up there with it. Other honorable mentions: Let The Rhythm Hit 'Em, Set It Off, RAW, Paid In Full, The Saga Begins, Lyrics Of Fury, The Symphony, Streets Of New York, Poison, Road To The Riches, Ill Street Blues, Blowing Up In The World, On Earth As It Is, One Day, Dance With The Devil, T.R.O.Y, No Regrets.... the list goes on. Also, Pac's If I Die 2night is another worthy mention. A true alliterative masterpiece.

[Eminem]

Yo.. Slim Shady!

Yo.. I'll fuckin.. I'll..

I'll puke, eat it, and freak you (eww)

Battle? I'm too weeded to speak to

The only key that I see to defeat you

would be for me to remove these two Adidas and beat you

and force feed you 'em both, and on each feet is a cleat shoe

I'll lift you off your feet so fast with a roundhouse

you'll think I pulled the fuckin ground out from underneath you

(Bitch!) I ain't no fuckin G, I'm a cannibal

I ain't tryin to shoot you,

I'm tryin to chop you into pieces and eat you

Wrap you in rope and plastic, stab you with broken glass

and have you with open gashes strapped to a soakin mattress

Coke and acid, black magic, cloaks and daggers (ahhh!)

Fuck the planet, until it spins on a broken axis

I'm so bananas I'm showin up to your open casket

to fill it full of explosive gasses

and close it back with a lit match in it

while I sit back and just hope it catches

Blow you to fragments

Laugh, roll you and smoke the ashes

Fusion of the five elements, to search for the higher intelligence

Women walk around celibate, livin irrelevant

The most benelovent king, communicatin through your dreams

Mental pictures been painted, Allah's heard and seen

everywhere, throughout your surroundin atmosphere

Troposphere, thermosphere, stratosphere

Can you imagine from one single idea, everything appeared here

Understanding makes my truth, crystal clear

Innocent black immigrants locked in housing tenemants

Eighty-Five percent tenants depend on welfare recipients

Stapleton's been stamped as a concentration camp

At night I walk through, third eye is bright as a street lamp

Electric microbes, robotic probes

Taking telescope pictures of globe, babies getting pierced with microchips

stuffed inside their earlobes, then examinated

Blood contaminated, vaccinated, lives fabricated

Exaggerated authorization, Food and Drug Administration

Testin poison in prison population

My occupation to stop the innauguration of Satan

Some claim that it was Reagan, so I come to slay men

like Bartholemew, cause every particle is physical article

was diabolical to the last visible molecule

A space night like Rom, consume planets like Unicron

Blasting photon bombs from the arm like Galvatron

You fallin down a endless tunnel of doom reality

Grahically, my killer bee family stings the galaxy

Insanity, titanium stomach, devourin guiness

My flesh is solid stone despite my outer appearance

Still deceases kill viruses, planets and racial creatures

Made MC's sprout tumors so bad, lost facial features

Waste your peoples, left out in the rain, fountains of pain

Eighty shots to the mouth and the brain, shoutin my name

Holocaust, black man, lose vains, littered with thorns

Back-smack you so hard, all your seeds will be formed deformed

Swarm dorms, sting birds, fling verbs like mean curbs

Strike three, mics flee, I infect em with green germs, ringworm

Cuz I'm filthy and guilty, dastardly, mastery

My felony melody has to be a bastards masterpiece

Stop graftin me, chump-ass niggaz eyein me, temp me

I'll break it simply, I'm horrifyingly empty

Spittin darts on the tip of a glacier used for my hide-out

Rock crush or german suplex, watch spines slide out the side route

Forearm bash with twenty jabs on the ave. or your lab, get stabbed in bloody

bath

While, I'm sippin herbal teas, verbal bees plant fertile seeds

Bitches leave with broke backs, swollen palms and purple knees

Circle thieves like vultures in deserts rest on a cactus

Got oscar nominee MC's stuck to my hatchet

Drastic, indescribable pain, I injure bars

While, Bobby's throwin razor CD's like ninja stars

Yo, why is the ripper so ill?

That would be a unpardonable breach of confidence for me to reveal!

He said "One of these days, all eyes would be on me

when they look up in the sky and see the neon C"

Rhymes inscribed on a nickel disk encased

in glass with an ion beam for longevity

For more then 10 centuries, impressions and memories

the first time the machine inventor will mention me

Canibus was a visionary indeed

he believed light could travel in multiples of C

The organic supercomputer that solved the mysteries

of Clan Calusa with 2 blue metric rulers

Liked Cool J, but thought Stephen J. Gould was cooler

and he never liked to propagate rumors

Smoked Canary Island cigars

liked America, luxury cars and beautiful Asian broads

He had a strong mind, he used to philosophize

about rhymes while he was pruning his Banzai

He claimed that he had written the greatest rhyme of all time

but he would never take it out his archives

He wrote 2 songs per day

and was constantly was experimenting with his wordplay

In his youth he did a report on the Sloan Digital Sky survey

he got an F but he deserved an A

I followed his career from the first day

it seemed the lack of support contributed to his inert ways

I seen him pull in 24 hour workdays

with deferred pay, undeterred by the word "shame"

Public humiliation was the worst pain

he was spinnin out of control like a class 5 hurricane

He said he wouldn't want another MC to suffer the same

Especially when there's nothing to gain

He was the illest alive but nobody would face it

he spit till his toungue was too torched to taste, it

properly funded corporations carbon dated his latest creations

to extract the information

They found it utterly amazing

they claimed the body of his work was the same thing as a priceless painting

Never mattered to him, the art galleries hated him

cause Thomas Kinkade called and said he would take 10

Complete enigmas wrapped in puzzles encrypted in language

with sound but without shape or signature

Kept files in his garage, on MS-DOS

in a fire-proof pod, he thought it was odd

Outside there was a shed with an Oppenheimer lock

he apparently kept more wax then Madame Tussaud's

We were in total awe, cause it blew our minds

so many rhymes that were intricately designed

He WAS Poet Laureate of his time

and if you dont mind, Id like to share some of his rhymes

Genabis

This is Genabis, Remember this

[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]

[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

[Chorus]

Ghostface...."nutmeg"

Scientific, my hand kissed it

Robotic let's think optimistic

You probably missed it, watch me dolly dick it

Scotty watty cop it to me, big microphone hippie

Hit Poughkepsie crispy chicken verbs throw up a stone richie

Chop the O, sprinkle a lil' snow inside a Optimo

Swing the John McEnroe, rap rock'n'roll

Tidy Bowl, gung-ho pro, Starsky with the gumsole

Hit the rump slow, parole kids, live Rapunzel

but Ton' stizzy really high, the vivid laser eye guide

Jump in the Harley ride, Clarks I freak a lemon pie

I'm bout it, bout it - Lord forgive me, Ms. Sally shouted

Tracey got shot in the face, my house was overcrowded

You fake cats done heard it first

On how I shitted on your turf

at times, Cuban Link verse yo

Check out the rap kingpin, summertime fine jewelry drippin

Face in the box, I seen your ear twitchin

As soon as I drove off, Cap' came to me with three sawed-offs

Give one to Rae', let's season they broth

Lightning rod fever heaters, knock-kneeder Sheeba for hiva

Diva got rocked from the receiver bleeder

Portfolio, lookin fancy in the pantry

My man got bigger dimes son, your shit is scampi

Base that, throw what's in your mouth, don't waste that

See Ghost lampin in the throne with King Tut hat

Straight off

Now don't you understand man universal law
What you throw out comes back to you, star
Never underestimate those who you scar
Cause karma, karma, karma comes back to you hard
You can't hold God's people back that long
The chain of Shatan wasn't made that strong
Trying to pretend like your word is your bond
But until you do right, all you do will go wrong
Now some might mistake this for just a simple song
And some don't know what they have 'til it's gone
Now even when you're gone you can still be reborn
And, from the night can arrive the sweet dawn
Now, some might listen and some might shun
And some may think that they've reached perfection
If you look closely you'll see what you've become
Cause you might win some but you just lost one

L-Boogie
