Lyrical Warfare

[Intro: Gunnery Sergeant Hartman sample from "Full Metal Jacket"]
It is your killer instinct which must be harnessed if you expect to survive in combat

[Chorus: Canibus]
Let me hear your war cry
Let me see your war face, Lyrical Warfare
Let me see your war face
Let me hear your war cry, Lyrical Warfare
Let me hear your war cry
Let me see your war face, Lyrical Warfare
Let me see your war face
Let me hear your war cry, Lyrical Warfare

[Verse 1: Webb]
I be the super human being from Queens
No question, god, I'll flip your squad like pages in a magazine
Plus my offspring will bring lyrical havoc to the Earth
I leave broken mics while I blow spots so I can mark my turf
And I'll get wild you attempt to test my style
I'll run your shit like DMC when they were still on profile
'cause I'm known to get exotic when it's time to flip a topic
I'll slice your vocal cords like brake lines and I tell you stop it
'Cause I get down when I represent my hometown
I turn your shawties facial expression to an upside down frown
And if it's critical, I'll get physical like fitness
And if I can't pay the attorney fees, then I'll just threaten the witness
'Cause word, I get absurd with my word combinations
Plus, I got shit locked down like incarceration
And like inflation, I'm rising to another level
So if you're mentally weak, I'll snatch your soul like the Devil

[Chorus: Canibus]
Let me hear your war cry
Let me see your war face, Lyrical Warfare
Let me see your war face
Let me hear your war cry, Lyrical Warfare
Let me hear your war cry
Let me see your war face, Lyrical Warfare
Let me see your war face
Let me hear your war cry, Lyrical Warfare

[Verse 2: Canibus]
This is Lyrical Warfare, yeah
I can absorb pain a grizzly couldn't bear
Concepts that range from complex to simple
The weed makes my eyes squint like an oriental
Putting shit together like a stapler because I'm greater
The flavor got me open like women in labour
The scariest, Sagittarius psychopath
I make niggas hit high notes and shatter glass
I smoke weed on your lawn if the sign says "keep off the grass"
Because I got's no class
Niggas talk shit and just be getting on my nerves
If I was in your Tim's, I wouldn't say a word
'Cause I'm definitely gonna amped and lose my temper
And probably blow a hole in your control center
I be hitting your brain with the aim of a sniper
And causing big trouble in your girl's little vagina
Letting the bacteria ooze from the crews I crush
The rhymes I bust contain puss
For real, your only choice is to kill or be killed
I use nine mils' just like niggas' Achille's heels
And I can't suppress how I feel when I'm blunted
In the concrete jungles where the hunters becomes the hunted
Nine out of ten niggas don't want it because they too scared
This is Lyrical Warfare

[Chorus: Canibus]
Let me hear your war cry
Let me see your war face, Lyrical Warfare
Let me see your war face
Let me hear your war cry, Lyrical Warfare
Let me hear your war cry
Let me see your war face, Lyrical Warfare
Let me see your war face
Let me hear your war cry, Lyrical Warfare

[Verse 3: Webb]
I flip metaphors like [?] in world tours
If my technique overheats I'll sweat lyrics out my pores
'Cause god, you know my vibe is far from a 9 to 5
So I freak techniques over beats to stay alive
And when I blow spots that cause lyrical devastation
And make MCs madder than college students at registration
Got rhymes galore, inventory like a store
Plus I tote mics like Magnum totes a .44
And my lyrical content is 80 proof like Barcardis
So verbally I bring the ruckus to your party like a yardie
No doubt, I heat it up until my flow starts to boil
And slam MCs like a cage match Battle Royale
So I can be rich like top soil, I'll fold your crew like tinfoil
And bag your shawty if she ain't loyal

[Verse 4: Canibus]
Whisper your ideas in my ears, nigga I'm with it
I figure as long as it bleeds we can kill it
Yo, who among you is brave enough to test me
I Drop through your motherfucking Zone like Wesley
Sipping the Hennessy so I can get nice
Beating niggas to death and beating dead niggas to life
This whole rap thing belongs to me
I got the title deed, the proof of purchase and the receipt
Lyrically gifted, you tote twin Glocks, I tote triplets
A soccer goalie couldn't stop it when I kick it
Canibus, I'm the state of the art like the mantis
My fly metaphors provide cures for cancers
Niggas who don't wanna listen become my victims
I break them down like they ain't got no immune system
The original HIV virus
I blow you up like Chang Sung when I penetrate your sinus
I'm dishonest like the government and I'm loving it
In my basement I got aliens and motherships
On some other shit like a fly [?]
I spark a cypher so I can get my cuts like a barber
Whoever can survive in another planets atmosphere
And breathe the air, then I'ma meet you there

[sample from the movie "Full Metal Jacket"]
(so, you're a killer?)
Sir, yes, sir!
(let me see your war face)
Sir!
(you got a war face?)
("ahhh", that's a warface! now, let me see your warface!)
Ahhhhhh
(bullshit, you didn't convince me! let me see your real war face!)
Ahhhhh
(you don't scare me, work on it)

[Chorus: Canibus]
Let me hear your war cry
Let me see your war face, Lyrical Warfare
Let me see your war face
Let me hear your war cry, Lyrical Warfare
Let me hear your war cry
Let me see your war face, Lyrical Warfare
Let me see your war face
Let me hear your war cry, Lyrical Warfare

[Outro: sample from the movie "Full Metal Jacket"]
Cease fire! cease fire, god damn it!
Cease fire!
