[Intro: Tech N9ne]
~#**************#~
Free your mind, and remember
~#**************#~
Winners are not people who never fail
~#**************#~
But people who never quit
~#**************#~
All I ever wanted was to sell
~#**************#~
Records to the people make a lot of mil, yessir
~#**************#~
Rap to me, it was the holy grail
~#**************#~
Im gonna go and do it, Im never gonna fail
~#**************#~
Yeah, but first I gotta make it out of Hell
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: Tech N9ne]
~#**************#~
Wake up and I see crime
~#**************#~
All of us we on its eat time
~#**************#~
My homies love me yelling “Peace N9ne”
~#**************#~
At the same time, throwing B signs
~#**************#~
Throwing em back and repping the street, Im
~#**************#~
Doing music and Im writing beast rhymes
~#**************#~
But my V-Slimes, had no weak minds
~#**************#~
Got with the music, started a group and we shine
~#**************#~
Music gave us hella hope
~#**************#~
Made it up outta the bangin and sellin dope
~#**************#~
We were stronger than a bottle of Yoke
~#**************#~
‘Til one of our members found a kid to grope
~#**************#~
Then your honor gave the peddy the rope
~#**************#~
Losing a man, the band began to slope
~#**************#~
Never did think a plan was damned to croak
~#**************#~
So doing it solo-dolo stands the GOAT
~#**************#~
Started making hella LPs
~#**************#~
2000, all the way to five, felt free
~#**************#~
Because of the hand the label dealt me
~#**************#~
But in ‘06 Fontana helped us smell cheese
~#**************#~
Number one independent gonna be spending a ton of funds, in a minute
~#**************#~
Thats when the government want the sums, then I send it
~#**************#~
In a couple of months Im done and replenished
~#**************#~
[Bridge: Tech N9ne]
~#**************#~
Everywhere I go, Im selling out the show
~#**************#~
Around the world I kill em and everybody know
~#**************#~
Whenever we hit the studio
~#**************#~
And Tecca N9na drop, hot
~#**************#~
Even though I will go toe to toe
~#**************#~
If somebody bang on me, but Im rolling in the dough
~#**************#~
And Im really respected and protected
~#**************#~
Chances of me getting shot, not
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Tech N9ne]
~#**************#~
Everyone loving the Tech
~#**************#~
Publishin, I get a check
~#**************#~
Loving the cities that with me, the people they call me the best
~#**************#~
I dont have any regret, but its a bit of neglect
~#**************#~
Missing my babies I love em and none of em leaving me yet
~#**************#~
Feeling good like a villain should
~#**************#~
In a mansion, but Im still in hoods
~#**************#~
Not like Trayvon, Js on
~#**************#~
Khaki shorts and a red tee like I will and could
~#**************#~
I can conceal it my permits say
~#**************#~
If evil happens to swerve this way
~#**************#~
Hope nobody deserves quick spray
~#**************#~
I feel an angelic surge this day
~#**************#~
They feeling my songs
~#**************#~
Been doing it long
~#**************#~
They want me to sell em my CD right outta my home
~#**************#~
‘Cause Im in the zone
~#**************#~
Im putting em on in front of the store when a couple of police wont leave me alone
~#**************#~
Why they tripping?
~#**************#~
I fit the description
~#**************#~
Its two of them rushing me Im on a solo mission
~#**************#~
To get people to listen, but they pushing and kicking me
~#**************#~
Im on the ground when they telling me, “‘Cause of a gun suspicion”
~#**************#~
It was in my pocket, aint trying to pop it
~#**************#~
When they scared of a brother with a gun no one can stop it
~#**************#~
Then one of em lost it, and then I was shot quick
~#**************#~
Officer took me to heaven, Im dead and with multiple rockets
~#**************#~
Didnt matter I was good and living inside a mansion next to ball players
~#**************#~
‘Cause of the move he made was drastic now I lay in a casket carried by my pallbearers
~#**************#~
Fears what I see, making em kill a G
~#**************#~
Rotten apple in the batch; dont tell the rest to flee
~#**************#~
This happened in Baton, R-O-U-G-E, even I fit the description
~#**************#~
What if it was me?
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: Krizz Kaliko]
~#**************#~
What if it was me
~#**************#~
What if I never got the one chance to be
~#**************#~
Everything and everywhere I go, I wouldnt see
~#**************#~
If by your hand you took that from me
~#**************#~
But what if it were me?
~#**************#~
Laying right there
~#**************#~
Ill never get up again, its so unfair
~#**************#~
My babies cry out
~#**************#~
You never cared
~#**************#~
Things that we do make each other so scared
~#**************#~
So what if it was you there?
~#**************#~
(Should I just) Take your life
~#**************#~
(Should I bust) Make your wife widowed, withered, hugging the pillow
~#**************#~
The scent of you still on her
~#**************#~
Spirit she feels on her
~#**************#~
The whole world weeps
~#**************#~
Blood we all spill on her
~#**************#~
And I know, it’s ill will; the pill’s hard to swallow
~#**************#~
How should I feel when Im being followed (Followed)
~#**************#~
By the ones the should save me? (Crazy)
~#**************#~
They just save my life, take my life
~#**************#~
[Outro: Krizz Kaliko & Tech N9ne]
~#**************#~
I gotta fight, all of the night with cops, crips, bloods with sore fists
~#**************#~
I gotta fight, all of the night with cops, crips, bloods with sore fists
~#**************#~
I gotta fight, all of the night with cops, crips, bloods with sore fists
~#**************#~
I gotta fight, all of the night with cops, crips, bloods with sore fists and them Nazis
