"You want power...but you're not big enough

so you steal it piece by piece..

take it in spoils...And you're weak. You're silly...

...Step by step you'll weaken and the power will..."

Levitibus..

I wanted some power of the chakra

with mofulean darkness describin what I see in the process

on stone statues surrounded by neolithic objects

ceoglyphs on the pompa

a dose of the palamine, makes youl feel like a dream

the dreamstate is the playground for the supreme

critics attempt to follow a trend

today they call me a charlatan but tomorrow I will be the 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 and the snow man

and then a note in a Coca Cola can

showed the whole planet coded program

enrypted by a pro-scan modem with a lowband

hold up, let me load it in

"Hardly. I am a scientist..

(There's a curse on you; you ought to take hope...)

None of this,,,

Are you going to put a curse on me?

(There's no need.)

vaporizin my spit and turnin solid liquids to gas"

I was created by intelligent design

you are merely a descendant of the immodified

you diss me out of pride

but when youre finished talkin bout money or bitches youre simply out of rhymes

even my worst album was sublime

if I dont slow down, I distort the timeline

back through the time tunnel to a 100 bars again

a master like the honorable Earl of Cannaben

the grand architect

used to be a partisan to LeMarketson's theory but I lost the bet

no regrets, you live and you learn

I'm through givin advice, I just give concerns

sterilize my hands to prevent catchin the germs

and try to rebuild all the bridges I burned

I prefer modesty over con-troversy

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

"Hardly. I am a scientist..

(There's a curse on you; you ought to take hope...)

None of this,,,

I'm above average with verbal semantics

the Aurora Borealis in the form of a rap ballad

you look at me like "poor bastard

why cant you manipulate Billboard with all your metaphor magic?"

no matter how hard I practice

every microphone I saw I grabbed it

obviously thats 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 come out the eggroll with seven death scrolls

if you can find a better flow

then I can find a dinosaur on the Galapagos archipelago

hey you shouldnt fall for the naivete

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

I'm ahead of my time, or so they say

I guess thats why I already feel old and grey

okay, thats enough knowledge for today, I'm killin em

you better not forget it cuz this is Levitibus

"Hardly. I am a scientist..
