[Intro: Ryan Bradley]
~#**************#~
(Down)
~#**************#~
(Down)
~#**************#~
(Down)
~#**************#~
(Down)
~#**************#~
Burn it down (Down), down, down, down
~#**************#~
(Down) down, down, down, down
~#**************#~
Burn it down (Down), down, down, down
~#**************#~
(Down) down, down, down, down
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Ryan Bradley]
~#**************#~
You build me up, you build me up
~#**************#~
To watch me fall, and turn to dust
~#**************#~
Is this the place, I used to love?
~#**************#~
Cant take no more, Ive had enough
~#**************#~
So burn it down, down, down, down
~#**************#~
Down, down, down, down
~#**************#~
Burn it down, down, down, down
~#**************#~
Down, down, down, down
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: Tech N9ne]
~#**************#~
They lift you up and preach you
~#**************#~
Then try to pull you down and beat you
~#**************#~
Theyre no longer peaceful
~#**************#~
Never knew a buddy would become see-through
~#**************#~
Make it up so high, they cant reach you
~#**************#~
They just feel the wind beneath you
~#**************#~
Camaraderies a plumb oddity, with some modesty
~#**************#~
People abolish he, who lovin me never idolatry wanted
~#**************#~
But they wanna demolish me, question mark
~#**************#~
When they know Im blessed at heart
~#**************#~
Try to test Tech when I poke at they chest and bark
~#**************#~
Givin my blood, sweat, tears and flesh in art
~#**************#~
But they come in my circle and make a mess then dart
~#**************#~
I feel like they wishin for me to be dissin so they can be quick and then witness me (Falling down…)
~#**************#~
Gotta know thatll never happen, forever rappin
~#**************#~
So burning it down is the mission
~#**************#~
Dismissin got a brand new condition, Im (Balling out…)
~#**************#~
Kill em in a really clever fashion
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Ryan Bradley]
~#**************#~
You build me up, you build me up
~#**************#~
To watch me fall, and turn to dust
~#**************#~
Is this the place, I used to love?
~#**************#~
Cant take no more, Ive had enough
~#**************#~
So burn it down, down, down, down
~#**************#~
Down, down, down, down
~#**************#~
Burn it down, down, down, down
~#**************#~
Down, down, down, down
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Tech N9ne]
~#**************#~
Why would a good businessman sign a artist
~#**************#~
And he really believes he rhymes the hardest
~#**************#~
Spend a lot of money and time just to start it
~#**************#~
And you think he dont want you to make it, sounds ret—
~#**************#~
Uh, Trav aint the target, I aint the puppet
~#**************#~
If you got negativity boy, you better tuck it
~#**************#~
Givin everything and they trippin, I had enough, it
~#**************#~
Took me a while for this menace so now, fuck it
~#**************#~
Give em a record deal, plus the CDs
~#**************#~
Take em all on tour to give em the ups
~#**************#~
Put em on my record, I do my verse and then I send it to them so I can give em the ups
~#**************#~
In the long run, they aint givin a fuck
~#**************#~
Said I aint takin care of my day ones
~#**************#~
If I wasnt, they wouldnt wait to spray guns
~#**************#~
Makin the people think Im wrong is way dumb, nigga
~#**************#~
Now Im tired, hearing my empires (Falling down…)
~#**************#~
But its really the opposite, and Ive gotta clear
~#**************#~
So many more Os, fake family, fake friends, and foes (Crawling out…)
~#**************#~
But Tech N9nas outta here
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Ryan Bradley]
~#**************#~
You build me up, you build me up
~#**************#~
To watch me fall, and turn to dust
~#**************#~
Is this the place, I used to love?
~#**************#~
Cant take no more, Ive had enough
~#**************#~
So burn it down, down, down, down
~#**************#~
Down, down, down, down
~#**************#~
Burn it down, down, down, down
~#**************#~
Down, down, down, down
~#**************#~
[Outro: Tech N9ne]
~#**************#~
Its the reason, me and Trav never had to say “Were sorry” in this business
~#**************#~
‘Cause we believe if you stay righteous, youll receive all your blessings
