Canibus & Bronze Nazareth - Mr. Montana... Thank You lyrics

[Intro: M-Eighty] Yo, Montana? (Yes I hear you) He didn't, he didn't pick up, uh Let me try, let me try to get him on the line first and then once I have him, I'll send you a message telling you to call me back (Alright man, okay, okay) [Hook: Canibus] Mr. Montana, I missed your message You wouldn't understand what I've been dealin' with brethren The sand gla** is empty and I ain't got faith in nothin' So I can't pick up, I'm in a bunker [Verse 1: Canibus] You never fronted, never sold me out I apologize but that's not what this is about This is about the direction the world's spinning in Occupy Hip Hop with Lisa Fithian The powers that be are preparing for something They definitely ain't preparing for nothing I've been saying in my music for years I tried to educate the audience - my peers I tried to build with my brothers and sisters Regardless of color or ethnic religion Regardless of any financial position It's tougher than talking to a brick wall Looking for help to build an Ark before Babylon fall The fate of humanity is tailor-made We stuck between a rock and a razor blade No substance - drunken - blinded by consumption Marching towards our own destruction Unawares, unprepared Open they back - looking for spine, nothing's there, just fear The horrible beauty, humanity deserves it To be ma** murdered - look at what they worship Slaves and yet none of this pleases me You know what I say, "The Dead got it easy" We're Slaves and yet none of this pleases me You know what I say, "The Dead got it easy" [Hook: Canibus] Peace Nasir, I missed your message You wouldn't understand what I've been dealin' with brethren The sand gla** is empty and I ain't got faith in nothin' So I can't pick up, I'm in a bunker [Bridge] I can't pick up, I'm in a bunker I can't pick up, I'm in a bunker I can't pick up, I'm in a bunker The underground ain't got nearly enough substance [Interlude: M-Eighty] Yo, Montana? He didn't, he didn't pick up Let me try, let me try to get him on the line first and then once I have him, I'll send you a message [Verse 2: Canibus] Conspiracy Worldwide sterilized Alternative media radio stations got fired All these little rappers still got dreams They talk big money but they got beans The ones who got more they got more because they got yours Either or they was on all fours They're all just a bunch of who*es Security can't even afford lunch when they go on tour The whole worlds a stage, all the way back to the Bronze Age Man ain't a damn thing changed So I don't care what they talkin' bout They lie so much they ain't even worth calling out They so far past being watered down they got cotton mouth Bout to be starving from drought Rap no longer educates the listener Rap Music just pacifies prisoners A Bat is just a flying Rat, you a lying piece of crap Underground rap, nothing but a trap You saved the world and they don't even know your name, God Rap Music ain't got no graveyard I wouldn't wanna' be buried there anyway f** YouTube and pennies they pay You see Montana? This what we up against If this is all we got, then we ain't got nothing left Hip Hop used to communicate ideas That's right I got some smart ideas I'm gettin' older and in all my years I never thought music would manifest all my fears [Hook: Canibus] Mr. Montana, I missed your message You wouldn't understand what I've been dealin' with brethren The sand gla** is empty and I ain't got faith in nothin' So I can't pick up, I'm in a bunker [Bridge] I can't pick up, I'm in a bunker I can't pick up, I'm in a bunker I can't pick up, I'm in a bunker I told you, the underground ain't worth nothin' The underground ain't got nearly enough substance [Outro] Hi, this is Melanie from Barnes & Noble Just calling to let you that the books you've ordered have come in They'll be on hold for you behind the register Thank you
