[Intro] DJ's, cuttin up beats and stuff like that and That was my first exposure to the whole, artistry in hip-hop There is nothing in this music, that I don't wanna hear There is words, that are kind of syncopated and rhythmic And there's this hot drum track, it's great! [Hook: repeat 2X] "This is, this is great! This is, this is great!" And I could hear, this enormous "This is, this is great! This is, this is great!" This is music, I've been waiting all my life to hear [Canibus] Aiyyo! I don't give a f**, if you gettin some cash Or gettin some a**, if I was there I'd pick up the tab Talk to a rag, tell you to wipe your stinkin a** Get back to the lab, make sure hip-hop last Through d**h or dishonor, I do this cause I wanna Your body armor don't protect you from your karma I'm ready for the encounter like a titty bar bouncer Or Muhammad at the Mini-Mart counter with four-pounders Quick Draw McGraw spitter, let me see your hands jitter I'll hit'cha where the good Lord split'cha You f*ggot-a** n***as are see-through I treat you like we in the same cell, but I'm Bugsy Siegel Smack your teeth loose, the street juice Go to court in cheap suits, givin testimony over beat loops Take 'em to my hood, show the evil I'm from They can't blame me for the evil I done, now they see where I run And why I keep a tight leash on the gun Why my speech is so revered by the young, cause my spirit is young A n***a spittin LIKE THAT, got SERIOUS LUNGS Yo I'm serious SON, he a FURIOUS ONE! [Hook] [Canibus] Yo, the name Benny Riley, the trip took twenty-eight days From New York to Cali, drivin through alleys My mom mad at me, my dad laughs at me My life's a track meet, I need this record deal Precious, she got the freshest breast-es, and the a** from heaven 36-24-37 She the second broad I ever humped, under a bridge But she the first broad I ever f**ed with in the record biz Desi told her I was crazy and she called the feds The b**h didn't know any better, I let her live She don't know Desi is a greasy f**in pig And he's settin me up for somethin he knows I never did When I see him I'ma put the Smith & Wesson to his head To change his outlook on life Maybe I'd show him what it's like to be DEAD Like the way I look at lyrics, I k** it 'til they DEAD It's that vivid; got sk**s to k** the rap business Got bills to put a contract on the witness if he rat-snitchin You n***as in the back, thinkin holds 'til your next actin role Get buried wit'cha cash and gold Acts that sold, family of Marlon Brando broke Shattered hopes, rappers choked, took it like a man though Benny Riley is the closest thing to Canibus yo n***as just don't be understandin his flow, until the hammer let go Grab the mic and cold damage the show Get split with bananas, flows of the Canibus blow [Hook] [Outro] This is music, I've been waiting all my life to hear And I didn't know it
