Lyrics
"You want power, but you're not big enough
You desire power, but you lack the capacity to obtain it directly.
So you steal it piece by piece.
Instead, you resort to stealing it gradually, piece by piece.
Take it in spoils, and step by step you'll weaken and the power is gone"
You acquire power through plunder, but over time, this weakens you, and the power dissipates.
Levitibus..
Introduction to the theme of Levitibus.
I wanted some power of the chakra
The speaker desires chakra power, describing visions in the process.
With mofulean darkness describin' what I see in the process
Various vivid descriptions of a dream state, with references to symbols, messages, and encryption.
Stone statues surrounded by neolithic objects
-Ceoglyphs on the pompa
-A dose of the palamine, niggaz will feel like a dream
-The dream state is the playground for the supreme
-Critics attempt to follow a trend
-Today they call me a Charlotten but tomorrow I will be a God of men
-To create a universe all I need
-Is 1000, trillion, trillion degrees
-So with 22, betatrons in the cloud chamber
-Keep the noise down so I don't arouse my neighbors
-Got a message from the falcon in the snow man
-Another note in a Coca Cola can
-Showed the whole planet in coded program
-Enrypted by a pro-scan modem with a low band
-Hold up, let me load it in
The speaker pauses to load something into the dream or narrative.
"Darling I am a scientist..(you're a person, you ought to think that)
A reference to the role of a scientist, vaporizing substances, and the need for an army.
None of this is able to work without an army.. (there's no need)
-vaporizin' my spit and turnin' liquid to gas"
-I was created by intelligent design
The speaker claims to be created by intelligent design, contrasting with the pride of others.
You are merely a descendant of the immodified
-You diss me out of pride
-But when you're finished talkin' bout one of your bitches you're simply out of rhymes
-Even my worst album was sublime
The speaker boasts about the quality of their work and warns about distorting the timeline.
If I don't slow down, I'll distort the timeline
-Back through the time, turned into a 100 bars again
-A master like the honorable Earl of Cannaben
References to historical figures and theories, acknowledging a past bet and the acceptance of learning.
The grand architect
-Used to be a partisan to LeMarketson's theory but I lost the bet
-No regrets, you live and you learn
The speaker refrains from giving advice, expressing a desire to avoid negativity and rebuild relationships.
I'm through givin' advice, I just give concern
-Sterilize my hands to prevent catchin' the germs
-And try to rebuild all the bridges I've burned
-I prefer modesty over controversy
Preference for modesty, frustration with critics, and claims of superior rhyming and scientific thinking.
But what am I to do when these jerks keep botherin' me
-Jealous 'cuz they cant rhyme like me
-And they never had a scientific mind like me
-"Darling I am a scientist..(you are a person, you ought to think that)
Repetition of the scientist theme, emphasizing the importance of an army and the transformative power of the speaker's words.
None of this is able to work without an army.. (there's no need)
-vaporizin' my spit and turnin' liquid to gas"
-I'm above average with verbal semantics
The speaker asserts their linguistic prowess, addressing potential doubts and challenges from others.
The aurora borialis in the form of a rap ballad
-You look at me like "poor bastard
-Why cant you manipulate billboards with all your metaphor magic?"
-No matter how hard I practiced
Reflecting on past struggles, practicing, and offering a switch to a more hardcore style if desired.
Every microphone I sorta grabbed it
-Obviously that's the wrong tactic
-I went through a long period of mourning and sadness when I wrote that Stan shit
-But if you wanna see some hardcore Canibus just say so
-And I'll come out the egg roll with seven death scrolls
-If you can find a better flow?
Challenging others to find a better flow, using a metaphorical comparison.
Then I can find a dinosaur on the Galapagos archipelago
-Hey you shouldn't fall for the naivette
Warning against naivety, claiming lyrical superiority, and emphasizing the mental nourishment provided by the speaker's words.
Lyrically I'm the illest when my beats is ok
-Food for thought, nutrition for the whole brain
-Keep your neurotransmitters warm on a cold day
Claiming to be ahead of the time and feeling old, possibly due to the wisdom possessed.
I'm ahead of my time, or so they say
-I guess that's why I already feel old and grey
-Okay, that's enough knowledge for today, I'm killin' em
Announcing the conclusion of knowledge sharing and asserting dominance, bringing back the theme of Levitibus.
You best not forget it 'cuz this is Levitibus
-"Darling I am a scientist..(you are a person, you ought to think that)
Reiteration of the scientist theme and the transformative power of the speaker's words, emphasizing the vaporization and transformation process.
None of this is able to work without an army.. (there's no need)
-vaporizin' my spit and turnin' liquid to gas"
