Canibus - 33 3's lyrics

[Intro, imitating the owl from the "Tootsie Pop" commercials] One ... two ... three... [Chomping sound] ... three!! [Canibus] Yo, in linear terms, my thirty-three degree, and a Words will give you thirty-third degree burns First I write thirty-three lines to a verse About how I created the Earth out of thirty-three quirks Thirty-three of my peers never thought it would work For thirty-three days, I started my relentless research And I figured, if Jigga could do, twenty-two two's As an mc, then I could do, thirty-three three's Suddenly it occurred, at three-thirty, on March third It came to me like God's word I started to load my thirty-three caliber Mossberg Went to the top of the Empire State, on thirty-third Thirty-three gunshots was heard Thirty-three pedestrians lay wounded or dead, on the curb Thirty-three squad cars rushed to the scene As soon as they heard some mad-man had gone berserk I demanded thirty-three million Or I was going to k** thirty-three of the women and children in the building I gave them thirty-three minutes to respond Then I proceeded to arm, a backpack nuclear bomb I set the timer for three hours, and three minutes long Told them not to try nothing funny or I'd k** them all They still never responded Until I saw thirty-three of the S.W.A.T. team jump out of three helicopters I told them for the third and final time If they crossed the line again, I'd take, thirty-three lives Three of the hostages started crying Three of them started wilding, and convinced, three more to start an uprising Three of them stood to their feet and started freestyling I didn't know what to do, so I started rhyming I tried to kick three-hundred bars But I got picked off by a sniper from thirty-three yards The bullet hit me but it got lodged, and ricocheted off Three organs three inches away from my heart My name went down in history, as the illest MC Rewind it and count it, thirty-three threes
