Released as a Promo Single on Uptown/Universal Records in 1996. It was the B-Side to Harlem Kids Get Biz. An Uptown Classic! Produced by David "DTproductions" Tillman. The Album Version did not include Mase because they couldn't clear him with Bad Boy. Tony Dofat engineered it w/o me so the mix was horrible on the album version released in 1998.

Jamaica born, NY based US rapper.  Germaine Williams a.k.a. Canibus (aka Can-I-Bus) was born in 1974 in Jamaica to Basil and Elaine Williams. After his parents divorced, Canibus and his mother immigrated to the U.S. before his teen years and moved around frequently due to his mother's work.

Before he was eighteen he had lived in Brooklyn, Washington D.C., Miami, England (where his mother was originally from), Atlanta, Georgia, and eventually New Jersey. Growing up, Canibus found interest in beat boxing and break dancing. Though Canibus dabbled with several jobs and interests, his main pursuit in life was rapping. During his days as a kid in the Bronx, Bis (another alias) evolved through various elements of Hip Hop and eventually began making his mark in the New York City rap scene. Made his name on the underground freestyle & battle circuits, guesting on Cassette & CD mixtapes by DJ Clue and Ron G in the mid 90's. First spotted guesting on tracks by The Lost Boyz (the infamous "Beasts From The East" classic last verse), Common and LL Cool J.  He initially gained fame in the 1990s for his ability to freestyle, and eventually released his debut album Can-I-Bus in 1998. 

Canibus' biggest claim to fame arose when LL Cool J invited him to do a guest spot on LL's new single "3, 2, 1". Full Bio Here:  https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0133974/bio

Hey Bois was geht. Ich glaub ich hatte gerade eben, ne wunderbare Idee für all die Menschen unter uns die linguistische Meisterwerke einer lyrischen Seele, genau so genießen wie ich mein blutiges Wagyufilet. Spaß man aber ich will gar nicht rum labern. Ich glaub ich wollte eigentlich einfach nur sagen, dass ich vorhabe meinen 3 teiligen Roman in Form von written Freestyle oldschool boombap Hip Hop Tracks für euch neu zu Formen und ein bisschen erzähle, von all den Uni-Versen die in meinem Geist entstehen wenn ich mal wieder jede Sekunde meines chaotischen Lebens verträumt durch meine drei rosaroten Brillen durch das Leben schwebend alles schön finde. [...]

The Dream of Matter, Chapter 1, Scene 1

Yeah… this one’s for the rivers,
For the salmon that fed the forest,
For the trees that miss the stream.
⸻
[Verse 1]
Yo, build a ladder, let the salmon climb,
Up the river, up the flow, right on time.
Viable systems, that’s what we need,
For ecology’s rhythm, for the cycle to feed.
Dams on the river, some make sense,
Hydro for the people, keep the lights intense.
But too many walls where the wild should be,
Blockin’ ancient pathways to the cedar and fir trees.
⸻
[Hook]
Break down the dams that ain’t necessary,
Let the salmon carry nutrients to the sanctuary.
Forests grow strong from the gift they release,
Natural fish emulsion—roots find peace.
Yeah, damn dams, time to breach,
Restore the flow, let the salmon teach.
⸻
[Verse 2]
Before the concrete walls, they would run so deep,
Past the valleys and the canyons where the tall pines sleep.
Bodies break down, giving life to the ground,
Nitrogen rich, where the fungi are found.
Now we starving the forest, choking the streams,
Killing the balance, blockin’ the dreams.
So breach that wall, if it don’t serve the land,
Let the river reclaim with its powerful hand.
⸻
[Hook]
Break down the dams that ain’t necessary,
Let the salmon carry nutrients to the sanctuary.
Forests grow strong from the gift they release,
Natural fish emulsion—roots find peace.
Yeah, damn dams, time to breach,
Restore the flow, let the salmon teach.
⸻
[Bridge]
This is more than a fight, it’s a sacred call,
Water to the forest, balance for all.
From the river to the ridgeline, ecosystem tight,
Healing with the salmon, bring the world back to life.
⸻
[Outro]
So build the ladders where the power must stay,
But break the barriers that stand in the way.
Health of the forest, the ocean, the land,
Depends on free rivers—time to take a stand.

Let the Salmon Teach
