People tend to remember the more aggressive quotables than the philosophical ones.

However, it is undeniable that in the end, Rip ‘wrote’ the most lyrical lines Canibus had, since Rip the Jacker is Canibus' super-lyrical alter-ego after all.

Not even Canibus knows his true power and potential as he underestimated it, and as a result had to retreat because he was simply too good for his opponent.

These lines could be connected to the previous one about sneaking a “weapon” in. Hence him fucking a lesbian is like sneaking his “weapon” into the unsuspecting lady, since a lesbian wouldn’t want his “weapon” anyway. On top of that, Canibus then claims he’ll do it while intoxicated from a bottle of this:

Canibus steps on (as in he likely stomps on his downed opponents), rips and shits on his enemies.

Bis is stating that he’s hot lyrically (he spits fire), but cold blooded when it comes to writing his rhymes, because he has stated before that rhyming is not a joke or game to him.

He is also cold blooded when dissing or addressing his opponents (examples being LL Cool J and Eminem), as in he will go to any means to not only defeat them, but will also go as far as to attempt to end his opponents' careers.

Many people have mentioned his name before, but many don’t have a particular fondness for Canibus (once again, an example being LL Cool J).

The title of poet laureate is a title of honor given by a government to a poet. It also serves as an indication of one’s great ability as a poet.

Thus Canibus is claiming to be not only the poet laureate (or in other words, the greatest rapper of all time/GOAT), but the GOAT forever. Especially in terms of lyricism.

With more of his usual military analogy, Canibus talks about how he got so many styles that they stack all the way up to the sky, as if they were part of a superpower’s arsenal.

Depicted above is a munitions stockpile. So imagine those rockets were the styles of Canibus, and then imagine that pile stacked up many times over. Then you get the idea of Canibus' style stockpile.

Jericho is a city in the West Bank of Palestine. There used to be a large, stone wall that protected the city from invaders.

In the Old Testament (more specifically the Book of Joshua), it was said that the wall was only able to be taken down by none other than the divine power of God.

Therefore, Canibus is saying that his bars are well-protected, to the point where one would need divine intervention to be able to destroy them and defeat Bis.

33 is the highest degree one can reach in the Scottish Rite branch of Freemasonry. When one reaches that level, they are said to be “illuminated”.

A chart supposedly mapping out the various levels (degrees) of Freemasonry.

Therefore Canibus is simply reiterating the belief that those who are of the 33rd degree (illuminated) can provide “knowledge/wisdom” to even the most unenlightened.
