lyrics

ENCOUNTERS WITH CANADA –ANTONIO MAGNUM

INTRO:
Eh… Eh…. Eh… A. Magnum/
Lyve Track… All rise for the Canadian national anthem

CHORUS 2x:
Proudly stand and say Eh I’m from CEh/
Every hand raise, salute this place/
Maple leaf flags get to raising them/
Shout it throughout the stadium I’m Canadian/

VERSE 1:
July 1st 1867/
Conception of greatest nation rocking Red and/
White flag, flying high like a kite/
Displaying shine day and night with Northern Lights/

This place elevate more than height of Mount Logan/
Illuminate globe with Hearts that’s Glowing/
Flowing like escarpment to Niagara/
“What’s number one country?” Canada’s my answer/

I chant the national anthem with pride/
And hold the torch high for soldiers who lie/
In Flander’s Field, your memory’s never killed/
The land’s protected by Canadian Shield/

I seal this letter with mark of Maple Leaf/
Like Tom I’m stomping my feet to make the beat/
Spud spread love like Geese’s wingspan/
Connect all Canada land as Trans Can/

CHORUS 2x:

VERSE 2:
Run on the track like Terry Fox with my HipHop/
Beyond the yonder like Roberta Bondar’s lift off/
Hip-Pop’s hit with La Crosse slap shot, please stop/
Writing, cause it’s a joke like works of Stephen Leacock/

Maple leafs pop, y’all flat exposed soda/
Heart pump maple syrup like E. McCoy’s oil flower/
Hold your goals up high like game of James Naismith/
Soul’s like fire in Ottawa, flame stays lit/

Maintain your grip, slip trip but don’t falter/
Move forth due course like blue nose of Angus Walters/
Assaulters of art charged with antlers of a moose/
So untruths removed la bouche cocooned in a toque/

Best pack a snow suit, oral coldness freeze long johns/
Native to poetry like Emily Pauline Johnson/
Action, more’s on the way so activate camera/
And if you tape something great, then “blame Canada/

CHORUS 2x:

VERSE 3:
Rep as a Nunavut Inukshuk, I’ll herd ya/
Heart’s sharp shots murk burglars like Hitman of Alberta/
Discover jewels in mine like minerals of New Brunswick/
Mount real like Quebec eject true text spew lungs wind/

You think the drum hit, you ain’t seen force yet/
Test and step into my Territories like North West/
Then I’ll get vex, text wreck, print dead war styles/
Small Spud crammed with manpower like Prince Edward Isle/

Profiles wild and guile, my raps too strong/
Attack’s smash wack flat like prairies of Saskatchewan/
Asking who I be, man I told ya/
Got to Guess Who like stars of Manitoba/

Storm blower, have with this flow umbrella/
Phrases brain drain rain like British Columbia/
My fam band and stand to sound grand/
Spud’s spirit screech with heat like juice of Newfoundland/

Dude’s sound slams with firepower of nuke bombs/
But still frostbitten cold like Yukon/
Virtues gone and dark clouds hover over/
Remove them and live in merry times like Nova Scotia/

Bite like a Labrador slashed by TO raptor/
Hear glow play in stereos of Scarborough, Ontario/
Yo, forget applause can I have a yeah/
For the word summing all up “kanata”

OUTRO:
...Peace to DJ’s rotate my anthem/
Spin those wheels of steel like Rick Hanson
CEh… EWC
