For whom the beat tolls


[Casting spell]

[Canibus:]
Yo, my hands are dirty 'cause I shook yours
Yea, you tried to curse me 'cause I took yours
But where?, somewhere, nowhere near
I walk where no man dares
So the world could share one man's fair
My cares are your cares
Your tears are my tears
When you talk to God, I eavesdrop on your prayers
I eavesdrop on your prayers
The industry could not stop my career
Fuck your record sales, where's your skills at?
You gotta million fans, but you're still wack
I can't feel that, what they've been exposed to is not real rap
Real rap is like chemical crack
I'm drippin' by my addiction is stealin' and bring it back
I prove it on every single track; I prove it on every single track
This is real Hip-Hop before it became rap
Do these magazines mention that? NO!
Does radio pay attention to that? NO!
Do they thank us for representin' that? No!You think I let 'em get away with that? NO!
They just use us, abuse us
Stupid fuckin' reality shows do not amuse us
But they don't give two fucks; I said they don't give two fucks
Now it's all up to you, buts...

[Church bell sounds]

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Canibus, real name Germaine Williams, is an American rapper of Jamaican descent.

His debut album, *Can-I-Bus*, was released in 1998 under LL Cool J's label, Def Jam Recordings. The album achieved moderate commercial success, but it was the single "Second Round K.O.", a direct response to Nas, that captured the public's attention. Canibus continued to release albums in subsequent years, collaborating with artists such as The Alchemist and DJ Premier. Among his most representative tracks are "40 Acres and a Mule", "C.R.E.A.M.", and "The 9th Wonder".
