XV - Canned Laughter Lyrics
[Intro: Various Artists](***** ya circle) Yeah, same punch line(***** ya circle) Yeah, Same punch line[Hook: XV]Laugh tracks, applause and handclapsAs we hear the same punch lines in all these damn rapsBeen soft, lip balm, sitcom actsSquare, who me? Never been called thatSquarian ether don’t play this close to the heaterPut some water in the tray and just place inside the freezerTake it out when you’ve made that follower a leaderThen throw ice cubes down for the nicest emcee up[Verse 1: XV]Unbelievable L7 believerSince I was next to seven that night that I held the receiverI’m in LA taking a breather when the twins stopped breathingThen I made square in the circle to get over the grievingOr when my grandma passed, and I just kept dreamingThat she was like, right there and I just kept reachingBut couldn’t reach it, that’s the reason Imma’ shine til she sees itOr til I make it to heaven, and ask “grandma you see it?” believe it[Hook: XV]Laugh tracks, applause and handclapsAs we hear the same punch lines in all these damn rapsBeen soft, lip balm, sitcom actsSquare, who me? Never been called thatSquarian ether don’t play this close to the heaterPut some water in the tray and just place inside the freezerTake it out when you’ve made that follower a leaderThen throw ice cubes down for the nicest emcee up[Verse 2: XV]Biggie’s demon, I took a weekend to let it sink inRefraining from reaching, the mind state Chris Lighty was thinkin’Eating church’s while my label’s preachingThey can’t reach me on the jack so instead they jack reachingBad reasonHave meetings bout’ tracks with wack treatmentsAnd acts that’s half decent and bars that’s half eatenLet’s fact check these Rap Genius meanings when it lacks geniusNiggas suck, like Sookie's last season. (Laughter)[Hook: XV]Laugh tracks, applause and handclapsAs we hear the same punch lines in all these damn rapsBeen soft, lip balm, sitcom actsSquare, who me? Never been called thatSquarian ether don’t play this close to the heaterPut some water in the tray and just place inside the freezerTake it out when you’ve made that follower a leaderThen throw ice cubes down for the nicest emcee up[Verse 3: XV]You thought a square wasn’t cool?Threw em’ two ice cubes, Jay said “New Rules”Might bring back jerry curl juice with this fro like FudgeHigher learning like the view of a dead poet standing on his chair inside a schoolTaking shots off the top, like Remy on the roofScreaming ***** niggasI hope you got Aflac, Duck nigga, cuz’ here comes the attackSmooth as orange Julius Caesar under my snapbackGot strap for niggas that be thirsty for an @ backThat’s that, the roots to the square that I amUsed to rap like 50 cent, now I rap 100’s in bandsThe real square root of a key, is 32 gramsBut when did I expect these dudes to tell the truth to their fans huh?Must have forgot where I amThe kid with the green backpack is back to the planSo when I hear these punch lines about squares from these rap niggasThey’re the first to remind me, don’t rap like the last niggaI heard this game is like handling dopeSo the 10 crack commandments is the shit that I quoteI learned you can’t fix the game if you end up brokeAsk Nas, he made Ether, now that camel’s the goatSo if you take their breath away, keep your hands on their throatSquarian ether, that’s a more fatal of dose[Hook: XV]Laugh tracks, applause and handclapsAs we hear the same punch lines in all these damn rapsBeen soft, lip balm, sitcom actsSquare, who me? Never been called thatSquarian ether don’t play this close to the heaterPut some water in the tray and just place inside the freezerTake it out when you’ve made that follower a leaderThen throw ice cubes down for the nicest emcee up
