Canibus - Black Lithium Lyrics
As I lay my head down to sleep
In true hip hop my soul will speak
[Canibus:]
I quit giving a crap about rap way back
Something that they can't take back
Write ascension 19 hours
And fifteen lyrics
Destination 15 degrees and 16 spirits
From carbon I came, to carbon I return
It seems like ridicule is all that I've earned
Black lithium clouds
Maritime meridian bound
Rap music look how silly you sound
Insectoid, High pitch voice, fricking cricket noises
Tell me who does the Creator favour
The one who loves thy neighbour
Or the intolerable self hating hater
Schlemiel! Schlimazel! Shmuck!
Which one of you cucks..
Just clean it up without making a fuss!
I'll continue with the assumption that everything I'm saying
Can and will be subject to misinterpretation
Tough situation
Hunting Huxtable season
Jesus
Where's Roy Cohn when you need him
I thought they were bluffing when I heard 'em say
"The nigga gets nothing"
Feed is like insurance to the Buzzards
[Nappi Music:]
Black lithium
They want our head in the clouds so we can't see how they're putting it down
Black lithium
You can't take my mind from me
Black lithium
[Canibus:]
I've released thousands of tracks
Received plaques
But none of that matters
I wanna believe that
Mic pressure on full power on U.S Nimitz
Elevation is correlated to sea level systems
History is repeated
Patterns of a purge that is critically needed
To bring balance to the world
These are not my words
However cruel the words may sound
This is what we're faced with now
They call it choice
I call it an adroit attempt to mind control
Like soul from a source
A source of power
Not ours we shall own our own labour
And we have shown infinite patience
Yet there is omission
No consessions
We are stuck, marooned to a place that sucks
Continuing with the assumption
That everything I'm saying can and will be subject to misinterpretation
I don't know what we deserve
For still believing these liars for stealing, cheating and deceiving
Yes remain humble
While fire team rave and rumbles
In a war wagon that'll pop your bubble
[Nappi Music:]
Black lithium
They wanna put it in the clouds so we can't see how they're putting it down
Black lithium
You can't take my mind from me
[Canibus:]
I quit giving a crap about rap way back
But this is poetry - something they can't take back
Write a message 23 hours and 19 minutes
Space station 30 degrees and 18 inches
Fortune and fame
Steep learning curves
The phoenix bird that does not want to re-emerge
You know what they say about every day above ground
You embrace the hate
You can't save love now
Instinctually low - pause control
Often found at some some old head watering hole
Meet him in a pseudo maker in a Volcano crater [?]
Close chamber but holds Satan
Go and entertain him
A deal and an oath is struck
Unknown to the deaf, dumb, and blind
You are told to trust
I'll continue with the assumption
That everything I'm saying can and will be subject to misinterpretation
A little bit of history'll tell you the present
I'll be a pathetic
The future might be already written
Unless we become brothers
You will suffer the suffering of the suffered through unjust judgement
[Nappi Music:]
Black lithium

Canibus Black Lithium Comments
The absolute
1 of the best albums of the year.
Imagine how this would sound if Eminem was featured
it'd be pretty gay
There is no way in hell an average person will understand what this song is about. "Everything I'm saying can and will be subject to misinterpretation is damn right. That quote applies to his entire album fait accompli. Took me long time to digest the entire spirit to that album.
sinkiy well said sir
Fait accompli is a masterpiece one of the greatest albums I've ever heard.
"A little bit of history'll tell you the present I'll be a pathetic The future might be already written Unless we become brothers." hope it means he teams up with Eminem.
Bis is Legend.
Bis back on his spitting shit
canibus is still always number 1 no contest
Thank you for this! didn't even know he was still making music. God he still got it.
Bis a a legend! Already surpassing all rappers by a Longshot with his lyrics.
"Black lithium clouds, maritime meridian bound, rap music look how silly it sounds." 😱😱😱 The fucking goat

“Tell me who the creator will favor. The one who loves thy neighbor, or the intolerable self hated hater?
Canibus is the real goat
💎 From carbon I came.. . 2 carbon I return
"But this is poetry. - something they can't take back"
Batuhan IŞIN what do u know about this man, haha kids these days
Bis always dropping knowledge 💪
LETZ GOOOOO!!!! #BRRRRAK!!!
The Messenger my brother
He was Legend When his first album released. "You can't shine on a song that features me " not exact but ya'll know what I'm talking
I'm pretty sure canibus has created the most verses in rap
Phenomenal artist
yeah k-rino has more than Bis.
the cave dweller i like bis better but K-Rino is lit af too
Bis said in an interview that he has over 3K tracks.
Kool keith has the most tracks
On 50+ albums and quest tracks unknown count.
Then K rino.
The largest vocab goes to ASEOP then GZA then KOOL KEITH then EMINEM AND CANIBUS.
According to studys......
Poet lauriette the final 2 with 1000 bars each and all its mathematical lineups and shit like 33 3s where he says march as one 3 because its the 3rd month, says yard because yard is 3 feet, count them back, theyre all there. Hes a beast. But most arent smart enough to read it all proper and get the full experience intended.
Wow this sounds fuckin crazy!
'BIS THE G.O.A.T., SALUTE!!!
Kate bush King of the mountain beat
fire asf
My man.
I liked this EP but bis's vocals need to be raised up.

I quit giving a crap about rap way back
But this is poetry
Something that they can't take back
Write ascension nineteen hours
And fifteen lyrics
declination fifty degrees of sixteen spirits
From carbon I came, to carbon I return
It seems like ridicule is all that I've earned
Black lithium clouds
Maritime meridian bound
Rap music look how silly it sounds
Insectoids, High pitch voice, fricking cricket noises
It's annoying like poison from neo-nicotinoids
Tell me who does the Creator favour
The one who loves thy neighbour?
Or the intolerable self hating hater?
schlemiel, schlimazel, schmuck
Which one of you cucks
Clean it up without making a fuss
I'll continue with the assumption that everything I'm saying
Can and will be subject to misinterpretation
Tough situation
Hunting Huxstable season
Jesus!
Where's Roy Cohn when you need him
I thought they were bluffing when I heard 'em say
The nigga gets nothing
Feed his life insurance to the Buzzards
Hell yeah this is badass
Agreed!
Ouroboros Principle what's up Ouroboros!!! Damn near everyone rip related showing up for this!!!
"From carbon I came to carbon I return"
