How We Roll
Canibus/Panama P.I Lyrics

I never freestyle for free, without chargin niggaz a fee
I do not perform my freestyles for free, I charge people a fee for my skills

It'll cost a brain cell just to cypher with me
The level of intelligence and creativity required to rap with me is very high

I'm the type of MC, that rocks for the glory
I am a legendary MC, who raps for the fame and recognition

I don't give a fuck if you ignore me or camcord me
I do not care if you pay attention to me or record me, as long as I get paid for my skills

Freestyle or written, spittin with infinite ammunition
I can perform either a freestyle or a written piece and I have an infinite amount of rhymes and verses stored

For anybody tryin to go the distance
I am here to take on anyone who thinks they can match my skills

I promise ya no less than a hundred-thousand kilometres
I guarantee a long-lasting impact and greatness that will stretch beyond geographical boundaries

My bomb threats'll have you evacuatin your continent
My rhymes are so powerful that they can make people flee their homes and leave their country

I'm barbaric with the alphanumeric
My lyrical prowess and ability to use letters and numbers in my rhymes is savage and unmatched

Hittin you with lyrics that separates your body from your spirit
My rhymes can make you feel like your body and soul have been separated, they're that powerful

This is for wack niggaz doin shows and shit
My rhymes are directed towards amateurs who perform poorly on stage

Cause I'll be in the crowd if you ain't controllin it
I will be present in the audience and judge your performance if you cannot control the crowd

We savages, snatchin microphones from amateurs
We are a group of savage MCs who can take any microphone from amateurs

Cause like women who get abortions, I ain't havin it
I do not tolerate weak performances or verses, just like women who do not want to have babies opt for abortions

I rip you, my metaphor content, will split you
My metaphors are so powerful that they can tear you apart and leave you broken

Into little, powderlike crystals, so I can sniff you
I will break you down into tiny pieces so that I can analyze every aspect of your rhymes and metaphors

What I say should be displayed at the Smithsonian
My rhymes are so valuable that they should be displayed at the Smithsonian museum

Your rhymes are phonier than cubic zirconias
Your rhymes are cheaper and less valuable than cubic zirconias, which are fake diamonds

Have you any idea what I do to crews like you
Do you have any idea how badly I can damage MCs like you?

How many niggaz in my career, I ran through?
I have defeated and surpassed numerous MCs throughout my career

Comin afta ya, blastin ya, with the shotgun
I am coming after you, ready to fire and destroy you with my rhymes like a shotgun blast

Like a front seat passenger
My rhymes hit as hard as a front seat passenger during a car crash

You must be askin fa', some sort of a massacre
You must be hoping for a massacre, because that's what is going to happen when I attack you with my rhymes

I'll attack ya cardiovascular
My rhymes are so intense that they can cause a heart attack

Shatter you like glass in automobile crashes
My rhymes can break you down and leave you shattered, just like glass during a car crash

When I smash that ass into blackberry molasses
When I crush someone with my rhymes, it is as if I am smashing their body into a sticky and slow-moving substance like blackberry molasses

Rip your speaker to ashes, and kick a hole in it
My rhymes are so strong that they can destroy and rip apart speakers, leaving them in ashes

I'm the illest lyricist in America -- MC's can't see me
I am the most skillful and talented MC in America, nobody can match my skills

Cause I'm too quick, for the human retina to regista
My rhymes are so fast that the human eye cannot capture them completely

I roll up on ya crew quicker than long sleeves
I can approach and attack your crew very quickly, just like how one can roll up their sleeves quickly

At a +Speed+ that would confuse Keanu Reeves
I am so fast that even Keanu Reeves, who is known for his quickness in The Matrix, would struggle to keep up with me

So ask yourself, who am I?
Ask yourself who I am, because I am the best MC out there

I'm the illest MC that you ever seen in your fuckin life
I am the most talented and amazing MC you have ever seen in your life

I hop into the backseat of a cab and rhyme
I can just hop into the back of a taxicab and start spitting rhymes with ease

Til the meter says 9, 9, 9, 9
I can rap for an extended period, until the cost of the ride reaches an extremely high number like 9999

Line for line I battle any kind of MC at any time
I am prepared to compete against any MC, at any given time, no matter their skill level

Whether they signed or unsigned
I don't care if the MC is signed or not, I will defeat them regardless

Wit many lines, more lines than a million pair of Adidas
I have a plethora of rhymes and verses, more than a million pairs of Adidas sneakers

More lines than the bible quoted from Jesus
My rhymes are so numerous that they surpass the number of lines in the Bible quoted by Jesus

More lines than a African herd of zebras
My rhymes are so abundant that they even outstrip the number of stripes on an African zebra's coat

Niggaz just ain't fuckin wit the 'cannabis seteva'
Nobody can match up to or even come close to the high-caliber ability of 'cannabis seteva'

See I roll with the wildest niggaz
I associate myself with the craziest and toughest people

West Indian Island niggaz, unemployed jobless niggaz
I hang around West Indian islanders and those that are unemployed, and don't have steady employment

The foulest niggaz, who never smile at niggaz
I am associated with the dirtiest and most vicious of people who never show kindness to others

Some hostile violent, chemically imbalanced niggaz
The people I know are so hostile, violent and mentally unstable due to drug addiction or mental illness
