Channel Zero Lyrics


Approximately fifty years ago
Under the direction of President Harry Truman
And in the interest of maximum security
A group of twelve top military scientific personnel were established
This group’s primary objective
Was to desensitize us to the truth
And to suppress the material evidence that our planet is being visited
By a group of extraterrestrial biological entities called The Grays
Tune in to Channel Zero, tune in to Channel Zero
Tune in to Channel Zero, tune in to Channel Zero
Tune in to Channel Zero, tune in to Channel Zero
Tune in to Channel Zero, tune in to Channel Zero
Yo, sometimes the road to the truth is
So elusive it’s confusin' and reality becomes illusion
If I showed the masses where we was at or where we was goin'
I’d shatter the social balance of the world as we know it
I’m talkin' 'bout the grand deception of nineteen forty-seven
When our souls were sold to the heavens

For technologically advanced weapons
Crystal enhanced, brain implants and mind control methods
MJ-12 is not majestic
In the focal point of our promise on this planet is not domestic
You can accept it or be stupid and be a skeptic
Or fail to recognize the secret society’s death wish
Ninety-seven percent of our presidents were masons
Responsible for launderin' trillions of dollars from the nation
For the construction of underground military installations
Abductions and coward mutilations
Experiments on human patients
Can take place in several subterranean bases
A hundred and fifty stories below a basement
With knowledge of genetic information
You need to fear science not Satan
'Cause through the manipulation of certain biological agents
They create strange creations
Top secret special operations, low frequency sounds and lasers
People like Carl Sagan that didn't believe in the drake equation
We’re tryin' to keep western civilization on the need-to-know basis
Well, you need to know that this is a game
And we being betrayed and played in the worst way
Tune in to Channel Zero, tune in to Channel Zero
Tune in to Channel Zero, tune in to Channel Zero
Tune in to Channel Zero, tune in to Channel Zero
Tune in to Channel Zero, tune in to Channel Zero
Yo the Holy Scripts from Genesis 126 says
Let us make man in our image under our likeness
First of all who's they?
You see if God was truly a single entity that's not what He would say
We as the Elohim, gods and goddesses
Possess a marvelous remonsterous sub conscience
Lifeforms that speak in very high pitched sounds and squeaks
Shorts likhado clicks and beeps, a highly advanced form of speech
Even though to us it seems like they only chatterin' they teeth
They used to swim deep in the oceans beneath
Till they fins transformed into limbs and they started to creep
Then they evolved into mammals with feet
And walked right from the shorelines onto the beach
They used gravity, 'cuz this actually the only force around
They could slow time and the speed of light down
The energy grid network open the gateway from Earth
To any point in the universe
Livin' organisms and various
Geomagnetic gravitational, anomaly areas
Space expedition teams in the lunar regions
Reported seeing disopyramides and tetrahedrons
Liquid filled shoes is what they used
To walk across the moon without leavin' a clue
Of where they been for the past twenty-three billion years
Before life on the surface even appeared
I hope you become aware what I'm spittin' in ya ear
Was intended to stimulate your left brains hemisphere
I know it sounds weird
All these mothafuckin' answers to questions to the grand deception
Tune in to Channel Zero, tune in to Channel Zero
Tune in to Channel Zero, tune in to Channel Zero
Tune in to Channel Zero, tune in to Channel Zero
Tune in to Channel Zero, tune in to Channel Zero
Tune in to Channel Zero, tune in to Channel Zero
Tune in to Channel Zero, tune in to Channel Zero
Tune in to Channel Zero, tune in to Channel Zero
Tune in to Channel Zero, tune in to Channel Zero

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Born Germaine Williams in 1974 in Jamaica, Canibus moved to the United States with his mother at a young age. Because his mother's career required constant relocation, the family moved frequently and the soon-to-be rapper found solace within himself. His rhetorical abilities blossomed later, once hip-hop became the guiding force in his life. He began rhyming and in the mid-'90s joined a group called T.H.E.M. (The Heralds of Extreme Metaphors.)

This group consisted also of his partner Webb. Following a fallout with his partner, Canibus pursued a solo career and began infiltrating the mix-tape circuit. By 1997, he had approached the brink of the major-label rap game, guesting regularly on high-profile releases: He contributed to "Uni-4-orm," an inclusion on the Rhyme & Reason soundtrack also featuring Heltah Skeltah and Rass Kass; "Love, Peace & Nappiness," an inclusion on the Lost Boyz's Love, Peace & Nappiness also featuring Redman and A+; "Making a Name for Ourselves," an inclusion on Common's One Day It'll All Make Sense; the non-album remix of Wyclef Jean's "Gone Till November."

And most famously, "4, 3, 2, 1," an inclusion on LL Cool J's Phenomenon also featuring Redman, DMX, and Method Man.

Of the several guest appearances, "4, 3, 2, 1" certainly meant the most, as it brought together many of New York's preeminent hardcore rappers and thus ushered Canibus into that same elite class. At the same time, however, Canibus lashed out shortly afterward with the Mike Tyson-featuring "Second Round K.O.," where he rhymed, "So I'ma let the world know the truth, you don't want me to shine/You studied my rhyme, then you laid your vocals after mine."

In fact, the entirety of the song directed barbed rhymes at LL: "You walk around showin' off your body cause it sells/Plus to avoid the fact that you ain't got skills/Mad at me 'cause I kick that sh*t real niggaz feel/While 99 percent of your fans wear high heels," and so on. Shortly thereafter, LL sought his revenge, releasing "The Ripper Strikes Back" on the Survival of the Illest soundtrack (1998) and thus channeling even more attention toward Canibus.

From the track's chorus ("Can-I-bus? Yes you can!") to practically every line of the verses ("You soft as a newborn baby takin' a nap/Make my dick hard with that bitch-ass track/Where you at? smokin' in some one-room flat/Suckin' on Clef's dick hopin' to come back"), LL unleashed a fury of insults and threats. The media, of course, elevated the battle to grand heights, as even MTV gave the story headlines. In the aftermath of 2Pac's and Biggie's deaths, such confrontations fascinated the rap community, and Canibus certainly capitalized on his newfound publicity.

As for his debut full-length, Can-i-bus (1998), though, the response was sobering. Critics expressed little support, and sales quickly dropped as listeners also felt genuinely disappointed. Executive produced by Wyclef, the album suffered on many levels, both production-wise and rhetorically as well (critics targeting Canibus' delivery more than his lyrics or themes). The momentum that "Second Round K.O." had generated simmered almost immediately, and it didn't help that LL's "Ripper Strikes Back" found substantial acceptance at the time as well.

In the two years following the release of Can-i-bus, the rapper maintained an extremely low profile, much in contrast to the regular guest appearances he had made leading up to his debut. As a result, when he finally did return with his follow-up album, 2000 B.C. (2000), few noticed, it came and went generally unheard, and Canibus returned to the underground after parting ways with Universal. He continued to record albums and release them on the independent circuit (including 2002's Mic Club, 2003's Rip the Jacker, and 2005's Mind Control); furthermore, he retained a small base of fans as well, yet his days as the next-big-thing had clearly come and gone, as they similarly had for so many other talented rappers.
