Making a Name for Ourselves(Album Version) - Common

Making a Name for Ourselves - Common (凡夫俗子)
Yeah
Yeah
Me and my man com sense
Rallyin' troops like Joseph
Stalin stalin
Where you at yo
I'm 'bout to make the name com sense a name you fear
Y'all niggaz is scared I'm your worst nightmare squared
And I'ma make the name Canibus a name you fear
Y'all niggaz is scared I'm your worst nightmare squared
That's double for niggaz who ain't mathematically aware
Yo
Yo
I can tell by how you write
You the type to run
In a fight
I hold mics while you hold Sprite
Like a broken hearted b**ch
Don't give no f**k 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 f**k
The rhythm I hit him
I want him got not get him auction
His wack ass off then bid him
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
What
Steppin' to me is like going
To the County being a neutron
Common I ain't scared of no nigga
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 dinkin' like when cops mingle
F**k hip hop jingles rhymin' big words
And not sayin' sh*t
The click that you came in with accent your flavor with
Like moose I go to the caves and get niggaz off
All fours
I'm the sh*t that's uncalled for the sh*t
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 b**ch 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 ** with blunted senses
You couldn't make a statement if you was
From a sentence
I'm cold with numb intentions
F**k with Canibus
F**k with Canibus
F**k with Canibus
F**k with 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 sh*t
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 canivas dot com
Common
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
A beast from the East part 2 comin' to see you
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
Now that I made the name Canibus a name you fear
You still scared I'm your worst nightmare squared
That's double for niggaz
Who ain't mathematically aware
To catch another sucka duck MC out there
Since I made the name Com Sense a name y'all fear
Y'all niggaz is scared I'm your worst nightmare squared
And since I made the name Canibus a name you fear
You stay scared I'm still your worst nightmare squared
That's double for niggaz who ain't mathematically aware
To catch another sucka duck MC out there
Think out think think out think think out
Another sucka duck MC out there
Common common
Think out
Another sucka duck MC out there out there out there
