Canibus Desperados Lyrics

Desperados Lyrics

[Nas Escobar] 
You ever dance with the devil under the pale moonlight? 
Desperados, travellin 
What the f**k's up son? 
We could do this word up, we could do this 
 
Chrous: The Firm 
 
Spend too many nights on the Henny gettin right 
Breakin big face Bennies, bettin against the friendly dice 
I can't call it, it's goin too good to spoil it 
Tell it like it is, the raw sh*t never rewarded 
(repeat 2X) 
 
[Canibus] 
At a thousand degree Celsius I make MC's melt 
f**k my record label I appear courtesy of myself 
Let me explain how I maintain thresholds to pain 
I walk across the Sun barefoot lookin for shade 
I rearrange your rib cage like a twelve gauge at close range 
and change the position of your brain 
My hard raps penetrate through your hardhats and all that 
nigga, get ya wig peeled back 
I scalp you like the indians on horseback 
Running Bull will hit you harder than runningback 
Stunning man with brave and cunning rap 
Swiftly running laps around 48 tracks 
Like uncut crack you fiends keep coming back 
Heads is flippin like acrobats on gym mats 
From wax to analog tapes to digital DAT's 
It's critical black, that Canibus is ill like that 
In fact perhaps you should quit rap, instead of always 
tryin to diss back, cause niggaz keep tellin you that your shit's wack 
I rip raps, hardcore raps rushin you to the floor mat 
Put you in the figure four, break your thorax 
Jump off the top turnbuckle and land on your back 
til I hear it snap or crackle, the ref says chill black 
You get clapped bringin the wrong raps to combat 
Like bringin a paint gun to a shoot out with real gats 
Y'all niggaz is wack, rappin over microphone feedback 
My intelligence begins where yours peaks at 
From Fox Boogie in the see-through brasierre, to Nasty Nas here 
My nigga Nature'll explain it further if it's not clear 
 
[Nas and Foxy Brown] 
Millionaire look at the sky make sure it's still there 
Ice grill stares and my jewelry is in every year 
Pierre Cardan back in a Dapper Dan time 
Now flex, angle wrecks, Foxy rock Van Klein 
 
[Nas Escobar] 
Initiated to the Firm shit, real thugs learn quick 
Sit back and feel the ultimate hit 
Initiated to the Firm shit, real thugs learn quick 
Sit back and feel the ultimate hit 
 
[AZ the Visualiza] 
Yo lock in, do the knowledge, follow the doctrine 
We clockin, on your airwaves, keepin it rockin 
Blaze up, make fire, light your Purple Haze up 
Betcha tired, bit*h as* niggaz need to be caged up 
So raise up f**k the playin, I'm sick of layin 
I can picture sprayin off an SK, shells ricochetin 
Snatched up, in Supreme Court, eyes half shut 
Co-defendant caught a life sentence, seem him crack up 
React what, who will, bail two mill' 
Nigga cool still bet I'll be home before the news will 
Blast fuse and leave purple Frank Matthews 
Perhaps you confuse the concept black, cash rules 
Incog-ged, another had more deez involved 
Known freeze condo seize seven keys dissolved 
Daily routine, speakin up for niggaz who sling 
Hand to hand on them street corners claimin you king 
It's time to lock this, join with us, let your glock spit 
Guzzle the toxic, only fake niggaz drop snitch 
Get your guns out, it don't take much for me to dumb out 
Play one route, lay ya sh*t down and run South 
 
[Nature] 
Here's the cause of this shit, more statistics 
Deeper than the laws of physics, Malibu sand ,the gorgeous bit*hes 
Weed from 1-2-5, my whole crew live 
A true Desperado, one that never choose sides 
and show sympathy, just QB, an entity 
Stock exchange, top of the game, watch you mention me 
Image is nothin just obey your thirst 
I blaze the Purple Haze, sit in a daze, then display your birth 
For those concerned or just eager to learn 
I speak for The Firm, was told to keep the cheeba to burn 
Stashin my riches, past traditions, like Olympics 
pass the torch flip sh*t so y'all could picture my thoughts, I'm driftin 
It's type ill wakin up lookin like filth 
Twenty years younger same hunger same ice grill 
Genetically form grade A pedigree 
Born to carve rhymes, a swift tongue helped to set it free 
Theoretically peep how we bless this, young and restless 
Guns and westins, learnin to connect through lessons 
From cool feats to camps, niggaz shoot back 
It's a proven fact, nine-seven's mine, y'all niggaz move back 
 
Chorus
