Cunninlynguists - Lynguistics WITH LYRICS

Cunninlynguists - Will Rap For Food
LYRICS:
"So fuck the commercial tracks you be doin,
a brother got to eat. Why don't you rap for food then."
[Deacon and Kno exhanging verses: (Kno rapping)]
[Deacon]
The music makes me high
even though I stay away from canibus, like Wyclef
(Deacon and Kno, fry sets.)
Similar to Christ,
(we got divine reps so tell me)
If you know your gonna die (why step?)
Show no mercy
(For rules and crews)
You hit with more bricks than new Ja Rule's
(Riddles confusing fools,) like Confucian rules
(Cos most cats are more squared than Rubik's Cubes)
We spit raps that are totally murderous
(The rhymes are like an anaconda serpent clutch)
So check out how these herbs get touched
(Unless your broads giving us brains)
Nigga you ain't servin us
(Deacon and Kno,) cunning lynguists with stunning English
(Our true lies bring more pumps) than Harry Rehnquist
(Every week) with the best speech
Roll with cats who smoke more trees than the flash and burn techniques
(Sex, beats, between bed sheets)
Red fleets, Pulp Fiction style
(leaving your car with red seats)
We make like fly swatters and smash pests
(Put peeps under more pressure than a Kelly Price bed set)
Keep your bodies looking like samples for the Rorscach Test
(Ink blots,) so fuck around and get your team rocked
(Jugga's in the back with the beam cocked)
Gots to have everything between L.A. and Queens locked
Uh huh, word, uh huh word, yo yo, check it out
Cunninlynguists, know what I'm saying?
You know how we do
I mean, you probably don't know how we do
but you're about to find out.
Like what? like what?...

[@SoteriosXI]

The instrumental is from Tchaikovsky's Concerto for violin in D major Op. 35 if anyone was wondering.

I found this in a random playlist and fell in love with the sample instantly

[@heysoupra]

I've been digging this song for 7 years, was early 15 when i first heard it, then it was over, the melodic beat, the good rapping, and a good dose of underground made me fall in love with this masterpiece. I'll buy the vinyl whenever i fix my old vinyl "player", then buy an old mpc, sample the shit out of Tchaikovsky and reproduce that beat, old school style. Music is the best thing in my life, just wanted to express it somewhere. Keep it real yall

[@bloodyhelice4284]

Same age when this shit bumped. Coming back to these old songs since Kno just dropped a new beat for Sadistik. He's killin it to this day.

[@leep9091]

Vinyl is so expensive for this album, I really wanted one too. Dope asf album tho

[@lordboombap4416]

No way man i had the same idea to sample Tchaikovsky, i have this song, this album and this group for a while in my rotation, every day I listen to this masterpiece, i feel you when you say that music is the best thing in your life, just want to share this passion with someone... peace

This was the first song I ever heard by CunninLynguists. I remember when it happened. Me, my older brother, and two of my friends were on the way to a basketball game in 2007. I was 15 and I was into rap music and also rock music. My brother was driving and he played this song and I liked it and I was digging it. I started listening to CunninLynguists because of that song.

That reference to Canibus and Clef was amazing. 'The Music makes me high' was also a song Canibus did with the Lost Boyz in 97. This is a defining track of the late 90s/early 00s new school movement.

[@izationalizer]

This shit reminds me of driving around my parents' neighborhood on a late summer afternoon, passing blunts in an '89 Corolla with the windows rolled up, shitty factory speakers, cig butts spilling out of the ashtray, a stack of scratched-up CDRs in the glove box, empty bottles rolling out from under the seats, cotton clouds oozing across a blue sky, a sun ray in the rear-view mirror, glinting, then gone. Lexington, KY, circa 2002. It damn near brings a tear to my eye.

[@LittleViking]

I really like this song. It reminds me of the first time I stayed up past 10, my mom and dad were out for the night. They were hitting up the 5/11 club in town, my brother had been placed in charge of me and my other siblings. My big brother (Jake), he had his girlfriend round (Betty). Betty decided that it be nice if we could all gather round the piano and play some songs together, the problem is Jake only knew rap songs, because that was his favourite music. So he said Betty babe, can you play my favourite rap song Black Eyed Peas - Shut up. Then I was like nah nah nah, don't play that shit, yo betty babe, get on tha piana! I told her to play the notes, she hit them notes, "Fuck yeah!" it was this song! My other brothers (John, Jacob, Jiggle, Heimer and Schmitt) all played the other instruments and I rapped. I'll never forget that night, because we was robbed. Just thought I'd share, sorry for da spellz. One love, Cheeky Viking
