Canibus - Father Author, Poor Pauper lyrics
[Intro]
 Yea, +Father Author, Poor Pauper+, Yea
 (More than a microphone monster)
 [Canibus]
 Once a upon a midnight dreary
 Being blackballed by the music industry prepared me
 In the past albums were made, put on the shelf
 I was never paid or given a wealth
 Who can I blame but myself? No one
 I followed my azimuth then transit on a path from apprentice to master
 My testimony any place at the top is lonely
 Ask me what I cherish mostly, no matter what I say is poetry
 The way I walk, the way I talk, the way I fought
 The way I won, the way I lost, the way I thought
 When they tried to play me out as a man
 The way it felt takin' showers in the sand with a fuel can
 Wakin' up in the middle of the night
 I can't breathe right, I can feel my heart beat spike
 +Father Author, Poor Pauper+ use to be a war monger
 I promised the Lord I will not tour any longer
 Pardon the The Poor Pauper with nothin' to offer from his coffin
 Caughin' up a mouthful of a volcanic sulfur
 Feast your eyes on the awesome mechanics of the metallic saucers
 Flown by man, I bet you thought it was the Martians
 Since +Channel Zero+ I tried to do somethin' to save you
 But you threw away the jewels I gave you
 When you're ready to move to the mouth it'll be too late too
 That's why I pray for you
 My words appear clear but true meanin' is lost
 Why would an emcee like that even talk?
 Clear your mind, clear your thoughts
 Throw away everything you bought
 And kneel before the Ark
 YOU DON'T!, you knew you should but you won't
 Any artist will become lethargic from weed smoke
 I don't go to malls 'cause I don't like shoppin'Canibus - Father Author, Poor Pauper - http://motolyrics.com/canibus/father-author-poor-pauper-lyrics.html
 I can't buy clothes when the Manikin's are watchin'
 Overspecialization doesn't require special explanation
 The information is my interpretation
 I sit down at the table and make it
 Through a series of musical, lyrical and compositional arrangements
 I'm disinfatuated, you rappers are overrated
 For the music you're makin', it sounds foolish and basic
 Thread by thread the poem is woven, the book is open
 You were ordered to show him, than the words are spoken
 Civilization is fragile, so is life there in battle
 So is nature when surrounded by the unnatural
 Walk through the doors of Langley Headquarters
 My logo is in the floor etched in marble
 Behind the rose line, morals and dogma of rhymes to climb
 One of three peaks of Mount Hermon there in my lifetime
 The rhymes is 3 point 1 4 5 9 2 6 5 3 5 8 9
 Same morning that the Can-I-Bus album came out
 I got a text from The NSA that said "They'd take me out"
 Kabbalah Math was all I had
 My wife and child were both killed in a helicopter crash
 Eight months passed, I'm in Walter Reed with a rare fungus rash
 I told them "Fuck the cash" Just give me somethin' for the pain
 My brain 'bout to bust vein
 They said "You've been through enough Germaine"
 I tried to sit up but can't get up
 This sucks, +Father Author, Poor Pauper+ can't give up
 The Biomarker lit up; the labtec took the blood that I spit up
 She tried to screen it, than clean it
 Hydroxide radicals I couldn't believe it
 I was the Anemic Heathen that was saved by the blood of Jesus
 My only grievance is I never be the same again
 Never beat me with a rhyme again like it was '98 again
 I'm so ashamed I'm depressed; I don't know what I could say to them
 So I made this mixtape for them
 I hope you enjoy it even if you never bought it
 This is +Father Author, Poor Pauper+ last recording
