Common Feat Canibus Making A Name For Ourselves Lyrics

Making A Name For Ourselves Lyrics

Canibus:

Yeah, yeah

Me and my man Com Sense

Rallyin troops like Joseph Stalin

Where you at yo?



Common:

I'm bout to make the name Com Sense a name you fear

Y'all niggaz is scared, I'm your worst nightmare squared



Canibus:

And I'ma make the name Canibus a name you fear

Y'all niggaz is scared, I'm your worst nightmare squared



Canibus and Common:

That's double for niggaz who ain't mathematically aware

(Rakim from "My Melody"(To catch another sucka duck MC out there)



Common:

I can tell by how you write, you the type to run in a fight

I hold mics while you hold spite

Like a broken hearted bitch 

Don't give no fuck who yo team or who you startin with

Cameoed or charted with, I house niggaz like apartments with

Mic mechanisms, I dissect a rhythm

Move crowds with kinetic wisdom

It's like a Malcolm X-orcisim, fuck the rhythm, I hit him

I want him got not get him, auction his wack ass off, then bid him



Canibus:

I'm creatin the ultimate verses with perfect lines

Puttin together them whether my rhyme one threat at a time

So you niggaz need to stop testin me

Cuz you know you can't "F" with me

Steppin to me with insuperior weaponry

Exposin yourself to the verbal radiations

Sayin you can defeat me is nothin but speculation

Lyrics unravel, faster than bullets travel through barrels

Niggaz be diggin my styles like fossils and pterodactyls

Who wanna battle?

I'm bad to the bone marrow

The Earth got one sun but I walk with three shadows

With Allah, my supernatural bodyguard

Niggaz couldn't touch me if they gave me a massage

MCs will compete with lyrics and beats get crushed

I'll hit you in your chest so hard, your shoulders will touch

What!



(scratching)

Common, steppin to me is like going to the county being a neutron

Common, I ain't scared of no nigga



Common:

I persue sound fairs, relaxed like Dru Down's hair

Other nigga's rhymes are like gang signs, I throw down theirs

On knots, I landed, players get played like Hamlet

Supposedly nice, taken for granted like life

I write twice and drop singles in record pools

Niggaz I'm dunkin like when cops mingle

Fuck hip hop jingles, rhymin big words and not sayin shit

The click that you came in with accent your flavor wit

Like moose, I go to the caves and get niggaz off all fours

I'm the shit that's uncalled for, the shit that you fall for

Far more advanced than a rapper who's career

You could only take a glance, couldn't make the transition

>From B-boy to C-note stance

I stand in a circumference, the humbleness

But in the Chi, bumbleless

Was thinkin as a weakness were poetrys in motion

Like a bitch, I'm the main feature

Amongst hard working teachers and corrupt preachers

I make my living off of singles like Latifah

In between sheets like reefer with blunted senses

You couldn't make a statement if you was from a sentence

I'm cold with numb intentions



(scratching)Fuck with Canibus(x4)



Canibus:

Yo, the Canibus is an animal with a mechanical mandible

Comin to damage you, spittin understandable slang at you

I be the all seeing lyrical, hammerhead sharp peripheral

With 360 degree visual

When the signal was given, MCs get biten with venom

>From a poisonous algorithm liable to kill 'em

My style will get in 'em, way up in 'em

My face don't belong in The Source

It belongs on the shroud of turan, for certain

I grab mics and murder shit

It's wickeder than Satan worshippers going to Catholic church services

You heard of this

The lyrical verbalist, trash herbalist

The wrath of my cold-blooded verses is merciless

Rap snap, get your ass cracked like bear traps

Contaminate your air sacs like tear gas

And I swear black, try to battle me, you won't last

I'll turn your ass into the artist formerly known as, you gay ass fag

I'll blow you to ashes with tactics

Strip you naked, then make you hug a cactus, you bastard

So phat to be a rap star, takin pictures at music seminars

People know who you are

Now I got mad shorties that wanna call me

Because they saw me, up in The Source chillin on page 40

Put this in your CD-ROM

www dot Canibus dot com

You can find me on the internet talkin to chicks

That was sweatin me off the Music Makes Me High remix

I be talkin mad trash tryin to get 'em to laugh

See, if I click and drag long enough, I'll get the ass

Bring it bag to the lab on Mount Prospect Ave.

Let your chicken suck me off and send her home in a cab

You know how we do, liquid aluminum like the T2

Beast from the East part 2, comin to see you



Common:

It's time I made the name Com Sense a name y'all fear

Y'all niggaz is scared, I'm your worst nightmare squared



Canibus:

Now that I made the name Canibus a name you fear

You still scared, I'm your worst nightmare squared



Common and Canibus:

That's double for niggaz who ain't mathematically aware

(To catch another sucka duck MC out there)



Common:

Since I made the name Com Sense a name y'all fear

Y'all niggaz is scared, I'm your worst nightmare squared



Canibus:

And since I made the name Canibus a name you fear

You stay scared, I'm still your worst nightmare squared



Common and Canibus:

That's double for niggaz who ain't mathematically aware
