No Return Lyrics - Canibus

No return... {*repeat 6X*} 

[Verse One] 

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 asiatic shape 

before the final earthquakes came but it was too late 

Only one eighth of the human race escaped to space 

They were chased by flying phenomenon to the lunar base 

Flotillas and space centers, lasers probed the entrance 

DNA code sensors reject old genetics 

I presented my 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 them the keypad code and told 'em to enter it 

I told 'em which alphanumeric buttons were sensitive 

He snatched it outta my hand and started depressing it 

I told him detonation was definite if he kept at it 

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 

[Hook] 

Adon olam, asher malach, 

b'terem kol y'tzir nivra. 

L'et na'asah v'cheftzo kol, 

azai melech sh'mo nikra. 

(Hook Translation) 

Eternal master who reigned supreme, 

before all of creation was drawn, 

When it was finished according to his will, 

then King his name was proclaimed to be. 

[Verse Two] 

The driver jogged around to the front and opened the door 

He said his name was Muhammad Jamal and he'd be with me 'till fall 

He said the escort service had called 

and a package would 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 in gear 

Pulled off slow, winding down his window 

and asked me if I minded if he smoke, I said no, he drove off 

Cut my cell phone off, then I swallowed a tablet of Zoloft 

Went to sleep and woke up feelin' kinda lost 

I asked him what the weather's been like lately 

he said he doesn't mind the heat and hates the A/C 

Said he had a son who was eighteen and made beats 

and I happened to be his favorite emcee 

I said for real, that's crazy, I meet him later 

Yo Jamal could you please do me a favor 

When we get to the corner stop at the bodega 

Hopped out the car, walked inside 

the store's stereo was playin' Feliz Navidad 

I got a pack of condoms and walked to the back of the line 

There was three Taliban that was talkin' very loud 

One reached in his back side and pulled out a Beretta gun 

The last word I heard myself say was a four letter one 

He looked me in the eye and said the drama's never done 

'cause there's no return...no return 

[Hook] 

Adon olam, asher malach, 

b'terem kol y'tzir nivra. 

L'et na'asah v'cheftzo kol, 

azai melech sh'mo nikra. 

[Verse Three] 

I heard the ringtone of the red phone 

Headquarters informed us there was an explosion in the red zone 

We were ordered to get ready to go 

and to get into our bio-weapons protective gear and clothes 

I rode shotgun, my partner Ramirez drove 

GPS control gave us coordinates where to go 

Soon as we got there I could feel the hot air 

For a second I stopped and stared, there was cops everywhere 

I told 'em we need to get a square perimeter clear 

We got an hour 'till nightfall, so light some flares 

I said a twenty second prayer then ran to the second chair- 

the lift that was there, then I waved my hands up in the air 

to signal that it was clear before I ran upstairs 

I could barely see, smoke was so thick in the air 

I was visually impaired and started to get scared 

I heard a woman scream "HELP" but I didn't know where 

I started screamin' back "I'm not gonna leave you here" 

Sayin' to myself "damn it's hard to breathe in here" 

Searched the rooms one by one like "fuck my lungs" 

Ramirez said the fire truck got stuck by the front 

I crawled all the way through the foyer to the end of the hallway 

and seen her on the floor next to the doorway 

I was half unconscious but I just ignored the pain 

Helped her to her feet and she had her arm in a brace 

All this tar-like black stuff was all in her face 

I radio Ramirez coughin' and tried to explain 

I heard him say something to me like "It's all in flames!" 

There was ceiling debris fallin all over the place 

I looked her in her eye, she looked into mine, it was strange 

Then I blinked for the last time and never saw her again 

[Hook] 

Adon olam, asher malach, 

b'terem kol y'tzir nivra. 

L'et na'asah v'cheftzo kol, 

azai melech sh'mo nikra.
