Eternal Life lyrics
by Canibus
Verse 1
Cuz I had up to here with this misery
And pain
I could take losses all year
And still report a gain
I could walk into a lion's den
Put clippers to they mane Give em all a bald fade
See, we are not the same
This is not a game
Got angels protecting me
Demons doing my bidding
The devil invested in me
Keeping me alive for a time that's yet
To be seen
The ending gon be tumultuous, most
Definitely
I can't explain why Clay-Doh spit the
Firе like a geyser
I can't еxplain why the game treated
Me like the Messiah
I can't explain why this b*tch out my league want me inside her
But I'ma
Rise to the top like bubbles on apple
Cider
You f*ckin with Stryder
The empire, long been in the ruins
But it's sure to resurface like the
Waves in a typhoon is
Sacred rites by bonfire with druids
You might construe it Holy matrimony of Heaven and Earth
Be where the truth is
I told y'all ama burn it to the ground
And I meant
If not for nothing more than the fact
That you're against it
Swimming pool full of blood
I dive in, I ain't Kendrick
Never started the beef but ama finish
It
Chorus
Trying to pay my debts Society wants my neck
Signing the checks with blood
A treasure chest full of sweat My art is worth millions
Costs the same as a breath
I'll be givin y'all my best Even it cost me my death
You can bet
It gon get better fore it get's worse
f*ck the purse
I did it for the nookie, Fred Durst
I pick the mic with no gloves even if it was cursed
Turns out I gain eternal life from puttin
You in a hearse
Turns out I gain eternal life from puttin
You in a hearse
Puttin you in a hearse
I pick up the mic with no gloves even if it was cursed
Turns out I gain eternal life from puttin
You in a hearse
Verse 2 (Canibus) The Edelman Trust Barometer
Is a social thermometer
For the reason that we live like
Communists
Social credit system
I'm Mr. Sigma
Male on a mission
Don't compare di*k size with em
That's why I'm winnin
Mother f*ckers ain't gon stop me
From livin
I do what I want, n****
Banzai
No time to die
Dead men don't get wifi
On the beach with boondocks and ta
Tas
Rhymes reindigeonize
But I don't diss people this time
Cuz love it still love, let's rise
Counter gentrify with a smile
Wow
Hip Hop is nearly 60 years old now
Chorus
Trying to pay my debts
Society wants my neck
Signing the checks with blood
A treasure chest full of sweat
My art is worth millions
Costs the same as a breath I'll be givin y'all my best
Even it cost me my death
You can bet
It gon get better fore it get's worse
f*ck the purse
I did it for the nookie, Fred Durst
Pick the mic with no gloves even if it was cursed
Turns out I gain eternal life from puttin
You in a hearse
Turns out I gain eternal life from puttin
You in a hearse
Puttin you in a hearse I pick up the mic with no gloves even
If it was cursed
Turns out I gain eternal life from puttin you in a hearse
Verse 3
Cuz we just stuck in this game with no kind of guidance
No choice but to play blindly
And hope to find alignment
I would say it's hell but then how
Would I define it?
Never heard from the Oracle
All the psychics went silent (what the
Hell?)
Can't seem to reap rewards without
The side kicks in a vice grip (unh)
All praise to God
I'm only livin out of spite cuz my
My papyrus: Osiris haters don't like it I'd have em all suck my di*k but some of them might bite it (haanh) Ama bring to the public them acts against God done in private (yeah) Next time the fascists united I noticed they been dyin the reason God is smilin (ayyye)
I ain't savin Private Ryan (f*ck that)
I would put my foot on they throat but
Droppin faster than flies and that's
Chorus
Trying to pay my debts
Society wants my neck
Signing the checks with blood
A treasure chest full of sweat
Signing the checks with blood
A treasure chest full of sweat
My art is worth millions
Costs the same as a breath
I'll be givin y'all my best Even it cost me my death
You can bet
It gon get better fore it get's worse
f*ck the purse
I did it for the nookie, Fred Durst
I pick the mic with no gloves even if it
Was cursed
Turns out I gain eternal life from puttin
You in a hearse
Turns out I gain eternal life from puttin
You in a hearse
Puttin you in a hearse
I pick up the mic with no gloves even
If it was cursed
Turns out I gain eternal life from puttin
You in a hearse
