Canibus - MC MR C lyrics

[Intro: Sample from the movie *Batman Begins*; song in background, woman singing "Life on Mars...to the heavens above...":] {​​​Henri Ducard: "If you devote yourself to an ideal and if they can't stop you then you become something else entirely." ​ Bruce Wayne: "Which is?" Henri Ducard: "Legend."}​​​ [Verse 1: Canibus] I stand in the observatory My staff stands before me with wordless glory, they adore me Minutes are not recorded Hours are converted to orbits With exabyte tape storage Listen, Canibus one way trip Mission M16 the Eagle Nebula star system My rap refracts the rhythm The beat stays behind this line 'til I give it permission Forever aesthetic The credit should go to Henrietta Leavitt The stars she's measured? Don't forget it She left me a message She told me my dark energy was energetic And I must respect it She told me the universe was pregnant And I was the father sh**, that's a whole lot to swallow My alien friends Niobium titanium uranium copper oxide, say it again MC Mr. C We know who you reputed to be Rip get busy how foolish of me Metaphors by edict leave hip hop speechless I write it they read it they need it cuz they believe it My two inch reels are hermetically sealed In a cabin below New York Post-war built deep underground military base too How's a dummy like you ever gonna know the truth? They asked for proof, Saint Germaine brain Computer brain an*lysis get in the proof and produce Light from within, touch the ring around the firing pin The universal mind gets wired in 100 grid bed nuclear motors Weighin' less than 10,000 pounds Operated by 1000 soldiers Doors to the memoirs of metaphors Lead you down the hall that ends at a waterfall Nobody's been there before But they would love to be No video cameras, they would love to see Just left the confession box my Lord Excuse you while I go to Hotwho*es.org Sittin there bored Graveyard shift at the mall Closed security level four Hans Blix scripts the "Beast from the East" conflict Cuz nobody rhymes like this I spit uranium rich s**tagenarian six six My cranium is an aquarium with fish Combat risk scale of one to 10, a 6 My compact disk make your compact glitch If you only have one wish Speak it, but first believe it It's called metaphors by edict [Sample: In the golden era of course you wanted to make money but you really wanted to be the best, make the best track...And that's what really...I think that that interview comes through, musically, striving to make great art. And I don't think hip hop is generally looked at that way (Woman: as art?), as art, artists striving to make the best art that they can, the best music that they can.]
