No Return

Canibus

Verse 1:



no return no return...

theres no return

no return..



yo scientists gather in a secret place to debate,

they photographed the earth from space,

and saw my face.

they tried to translate the innate adriatic shape

before the final earthquakes came but it was too late

only 1/8 of the human race escaped to space

they were chased by flyin phenomena to the lunar base.

flotillas and space centers lasers probe the entrance

dna code sensors reject old genetics

i was sent in by cosmic clearance to a patrol of medics

i was injected with sodium pentathol and questioned,

i relayed the message the way i was trained to remember it

i showed em the keypad code and told them to enter it

i told them which alphanumeric buttons were sensitive

snatched it outta my hand and started a pressin it.

i told them detonation was definite if he kept it and he never quit

he just lost his temper and flipped.

i bowed my head like 'i guess this is it',

my ears popped, the music stopped, and i couldn't hear shit.



(indistinct Chorus)



Verse 2:



They dropped my junk around to the front

and opened the door

he said his name was Muhammed Jamaal and he be wit me till fall

he said the escort service had called, and the package will be waitin for me at the window

I said "thanks" he grabbed my bags fast and put em in the trunk

then he ran around to the front slammed it and get it

pulled off slow, winded down his window asked me if I minded if he smoke

i said 'no' he drove off, cut my cell phone off, then i swallowed the tablet of Zoloft

went to sleep and woke up feeling kinda lost

I asked him what the weather's been like lately,

he said he doesn't mind the heat and hates the AC

said he had a son who was 18 and made beats

and I happened to be his favorite Emcee

I said 'for real? that's crazy.

I'll meet him later, yo Jamaal could you please do me a favor,

when we get to the corner stop at the bodega.'
