Canibus - The Ballad lyrics

I'm about eight thousand miles away from home Thinking about the throne I got my eyes fixated on I just put an add in The Source to cause a little controversy Came from doing a concert in Jersey last Thursday A kid said Eminem wanted to hurt me He called my name out more than a few times and tried to embarra** me His rhyme was very weak; I didn't know he had words for me I bet he's probably never even heard of me Ever since I met Stan, he took it kinda personally It didn't even occur to me he was involved personally With Stan earlier than me, now he's perturbed at me I seen him on the street last week he cursed at me He told me him and D12 were gonna murder me And anytime that I'm ready that he's got a verse for me Damn, I didn't know he was that thirsty for me I guess he ain't the only emcee that's nervous of me There ain't a person in the game wit more courage than me From France to Germany they call me the merchant of beef What you want yo? Red or white meat? Meet me in Petty I'm with JRU and sightseeing Man I got a nice feeling I'm working on my fourth album and when I think about it I've had a tight career Haven't I made it quite clear Lyrically I'll always be right here and nobody can snatch my mic here Rip the Jacker was a nightmare Jack the Ripper reminds me of him and I don't really like that What type of a life is that It's like Anthony Hopkins giving Norman Bates a nightcap Damn, I can write raps, I'm good at it ain't I? n***as call my name out, cuz they want the mic back But I raise the price so high that in fact The market is collapsed and n***as don't know how to act I guess the world's chaos is spinning over the raps They make you sign a contract, and con you out of your tracks Don't act like you don't know Bis The man with the organic tongue and the golden spit I left you frozen stiff With malted Aluminum and molded tip I'll pierce a hole through a brick, you know I can Rip Gimme five, I'll show you six quicker than you can blink Probably quicker than you can think As quick as ink drives my rhymes are contagious like pink eye The hypnotize you to dickride I'm 'Illmatic' like Nas and 'Stillmatic' like Escobar No I'm not still at it with Todd Don't blame me, it wasn't my fault it never was Before I even knew him I already had a buzz But that was then and this is now Bis been ripping in down since the day he came out I've been there, done that, I don't even have to make a comeback I move over to France where the love's at Become a bureaucrat and start cutbacks Create a cure for AIDS with a device that connects to the nutsack Capable of altering a man's blood pattern Humanitarianism will love that I start a label with other acts, get a couple plaques Completely cover the map before I come back I wanna give Alicia Keys a kiss Compose a ballad and just make her fiend for Bis I'm an extremist, when I'm on some MC sh** And after this you could never not believe in Bis Terry stone, UK clique, keeping it thick Use my name motherf**er when you speaking to Bis
