Ask caps still sending checks to the master


[Verse 1: Canibus]

They want an explanation, they want a reason

It's all these goddamn demons

Crawling creeping, bounty hunt emcees every weekend

Throwing people off the deep end

I can't beat them, I'm just glad to be breathing

I stretch towards the ceiling

Shouldеr getting better еveryday I work it out, I smoke out

Then I go say the verses with my mouth

Number one in Hip Hop and I ain't even mean it

The worst rapper alive? I don't agree with

Choked up, so what? He was defeated

But if he's in that zone, he tear you to pieces

Stop talking like that, Canibus bark when I rap

You gotta factor all the facts

I keep it relative so they can understand me

I got a bunch of relatives in Miami

Money making Manny, big booty Brandy

Tom Clancy on a hundred footed yacht named Nancy

You seen Germaine's set? You ain't entertained yet?

You might wanna catch the main event

[Verse 2: Canibus]

2012 AD yeah the summer season

Some missed the meaning and some will receive it

Few consumers purchase the music, some steal it

Some really achieve success, some only dream it

Some are conceited and greedy but don't wanna believe it

They point the finger at others to give themselves credence

They search for excuses to try to chop down your roots Bis

They try to make you buy back your freedom

The brightest beacon becomes stronger not weaken

Rip the Jacker's master thesis, love it or leave it

They make it sound like I never loved the rhythm of Rap

I gave them music to listen to it with rhythm and tact

For Ten Thousand Bars Can-I-Bus should get a grammy

For Infinite composition theory and planning

Status quo antebellum Rap music never thanked me

Plus I lost a battle, that's a double whammy

You ain't got no empathy than you ain't understanding me

Real Hip Hop is channelled through me

It ain't no crime to not be the best

When I was you acted like I wasn't so what you expect?

[Verse 3: Canibus]

The holy angels are screaming, everything happens for a reason

But they don't wanna believe it

Hip Hop was everything to me, it's no secret

The ink that I write with, is the ink that I bleed with

Retrospectively speaking the heart keeps pumping

The lungs keep breathing, everything happens for a reason

I'ma always have something coming out

Infinity is a very large amount

I wrote it out and cried out to Jesus the dead got it easy

The living gotta pick up the pieces

The Lord saved me and show me the meaning

Of what it feels like to be dissed and deleted

No grief period needed, my mission is completed

That's why I started the battle by praising Jesus

I stood there in front of the world and took a dagger to the heart

Then I launched 10,000 Bars

Canibus career is over? It can't be

If only Hip Hop would stand with me

I don't want your money I want your respect

I paid my Hip Hop dues but can't cancel the debt
